My .02 on Barrett-Jackson

[RM Schimel]

I thought it was a very good time. Had great fun attending the auctions. Lots to see and do!!

I thought the car market would be pretty strong considering the stock market and real estate situation. It didn't seem like as many $300-600K cars but a lot more cars into solid money like the $60-120K range. Looks like some strong numbers at R&S as well.

Kind of a pity it seems to me that what many consider to be the worlds premier classic car collector auction is defined by Robosarous and that on prime time Saturday viewers and attendees were subjected to actor/singer powerhouse John Schnider standing on top of his column shift Charger. It really is more a show or event now than it is a place astute collectors go to buy and sell significant muscle.

It seems to me that Mecum is now the only auction house where you can buy/ sell and look at truly significant muscle.

Another issue entirely is Charleys fixation with Robosaurous. Our fearless leader the owner of the vaunted supersnake and a ZL-1 among other rare muscle is now openly lusting after what amounts to be an overgrown fire breathing toy for about a half a million. I guess when you dabble in three million dollar Mustangs a half million dollar toy robot is chump change. LOL LOL

Me, I am going to Mecum's spring auction to see Dave C's. collection get sold off. Dave has more significant muscle in his shop then BJ had all week IMHO.
