Barrett-Jackson 2004

[Belair62]

What did the BUrnished RS COPO sell for ? I thought it went well over 100k...........

[madmax]

The bidding was appearently up to 89k and stalled out
reserve 110 , did not sell.
Sort of disapointing you might think.

This is what some press guy had to say below!

HOT OFF THE PRESS REPORT FROM THE BARRETT-JACKSON
Mark C Bach

Well folks the Barrett-Jackson auction is in full swing. 3,000
bidders
(paying $300 a pass) were expected over the four days to bid overly
$30
million on cars. If you had access to the Speed Channel on cable you
saw
expanded coverage including an eye ball popping six hours on Friday
alone! Thursday had a light rain but didn't detract too many folks
from
coming and the cloudy skies on Friday morning soon departed to a
brilliant sunny day. Barrett Jackson had to scurry to find some
pumps to
remove some rain water and a few spots were "slippery when wet" (after
all, the main sale area is a polo field) but Barrett Jackson, as
always
kept a firm hand on things and had a great first two days of
auctioneering.

No surprise that a 69 brown Camaro "COPO" that didn't sell at last
week's
Silver Auction was at Barrett-Jackson, where it didn't sell AGAIN!
Ouch,
the bidder had a $110,000 reserve at Silver and after failing to raise
sufficient interest, was in the unsold corral with a requested price
of
$99,995 (heck why not ask for an even $100K?). I'm not sure this COPO
will ever sell that high when outfitted with a burnt brown paint, but
of
course if you paint it a more eye appealing color, you lose the
authenticity.

The RS/Copo did $132,000 plus buyer fee.

That's what I thought...so what Burnished car are they referring to in the above post ? The clone ?

[madmax]

Brown Copo ????
Well I do not know for sure , just going by reports I read

check this link the same reporter as my last post!!

Is ther a list of the sold cars at bj and what they sold for
I cant seam to find it on their site??

[madmax]

I just noticed on the link by the picture on it , that the car that guy talks about is not the same brown copo.

So the rs one did sell for 132,000?

Im looking at the standard silver grill - NON - RS Burnished Brown Van Nuys COPO that Charley Lillard posted an image of; apparently as stated: currently the only known LA COPO doumented COPO Camaro. One of these, 99% exactly alike this above image, was in a showroom here in Orange, California off and on for a year or so... I inquired wondering if this might have been that car <P> https://www.yenko.net/attachments/669...sday%20049.jpg <P>

Does it seem stupid that someone wanted to pay $132K at BJ when the same car was on Ebay several times for $115K. I'll bet that is one of the bid up cars without a new owner.

My two cents on this sale with no owner change. I can't believe that anyone would send a valuable car through with no reserve..............unless you had a friend bidding it up for you. So my suspicious mind says that big $ sales on no reserve cars are questionable. But, I hope all the big prices are true and that the value of my cars get dragged up by it. However, until my car is sold and the money is in my back pocket, I haven't done anything. I have a friend who was counting his money on his Ferrari 275 GTB? Had an offer of 470000 years ago and turned it down, it dropped as low as 200000 and it is now a 250000 car. You just don't know what is going to happen. Fortunately, I like the cars, and want to have them. If I make money on them fine, if not, oh well, you only live once and I get pleasure from them.

A perfect example of the Barrett-Jackson effect:

Ebay auction yesterday high bid was $29,000 sold today for $57,000!
