That Ford police car would be worth about 10K, if that, in the police car hobby.

Personally, I don't trust the legitimacy of many of the automobile auctions.

Wouldn't surprise me if they hold a rehearsal days prior..unreal.

Id say the bidding at Barrett is REAL.. They're WAY TO MONEY HUNGRY and the types of Rich Bidders they get arent smart enough to know better or just dont care.

If it was a reserve auction I could see fake bids getting pulled out of the air to get the car close to its reserve but when its no reserse they dont care what it sells for because the make money either way.

If you watch closely Head Auctioneer Spanky is the King of running the bid he got caught a couple of times but for the most part he ran a few cars up so fast that people get caught up in bidding agaisnt themselves.

I think there is a lot of ''buyer remorse''when some of those dummies get home with their over paid for cars.

I would have to agree. It seems the thing to do is buy at Mecum and sell at Barret!

Mecum just seems so much more user friendly to me. I think their buyer's fee is only 7 or 8% ( and Dana has been known to slash that on the spot!) compared to Barret's 10%.

I too was shocked at some of the prices. 57 Tbird for 100K, Austin Healeys for 100K. The Corvette listing they had were weak and for a red 67 427/390 coupe with no judging history to bring 100K is 2006 pricing. Scottsdale will be interesting to say the least.

The cop car sale was a hoot. When they handed that lady the clip board to sign you could read her lips..."I wanted that car"....No S--t..

I can only comment with some education on the Ford muscle. We went out for the event and was surprised to see most of the cars were not as nice in person as they appear under the lights. The 69 and 70 CJ Mach 1's were nice in person but strong money for date code correct non numbers, non SCJ cars at 100k and 75K. The Lime 67 GT 350 was also strong at 125K. The paint work on most of the cars was just ok IMHO.
