Barret Jackson - What do you like?

[427TJ]

I agree with you Steve, I am sick of seeing it on Speed, but it's still the last '67 built and it is a 427/sidepipe car with good colors. I have a hunch it'll go big money. I see that car as one of the great Baby Boomer icons and the money might go sky-high if the right guys get involved. I wonder if "Ferrari guy" will want to add it to the collection he's putting together?

Proteam Corvettes is pushing the limit with the marketing for this car. Has anyone seen a picture of it before its restoration? I would be very careful. Its got great colors and I'm sure its a nice car, but if you know Proteam and some of the cars they have and sell, then you'll understand that the nick-name ProScam Corvettes does not come from nothing...

------So you are saying that the Nabors did a poor restoration, huh??? It would be the first one I have heard of. Like them and Terry or not I think the car was restored well. I looked it over pretty darn good at Meadowbrook this past August and couldnt find anything to complain about except over-restoration. Personally,,, in this instance I can forgive them that! Just about everyone on the planet knows what condition it was in prior to restoration, so I dont think there are any surprizes there. I believe at least part of the money is going to charity, but Terry is always the bad guy,,,right??? Yah,,, he probably wouldnt do anything nice. Hes just a used car guy.......Bill S

Bill, I have heard conflicting stories on the car. I did not hear that Nabors did the restoration. Matter of fact in Hemmings Muscle Machines (3-4 issues back) the article stated Proteam completed the restoration - mentioned nothing of Nabors. I'm not doubting the car the car is nice, maybe I jumped the gun because I have not seen it, but how much of the car is original? In a place like BJ where there are more 435hp ’67 Vettes that started life as 300hp automatics, all I am saying is buyer beware.

Is the guy in the Ferrari hat buying for his own collection or buying for someone or a museum, sorry to get off the subject. The show on Speed shows that Nabor Bros did the resto on the car.

[Xplantdad]

Hey JT Happy Birthday...

To answer your question...he is buying for someone else...for a museum in Colorado

[JTH74]

Thanks for the B-day shout, my wife didn't remember it until her mom called to wish me a happy B-day! The Ferrari hat guy does not blink or back up when he is bidding against some heavey hitters, I think he gets caught up in his "15 minutes of fame" a little too much!
