Default Barrett Jackson Prices

Is it me or does it appear that the Barrett Jackson prices are really low for the current auction? On the Chevy side a few (what appeared to be) really nice cars have gone for stolen prices. I mean an LS6 Chevelle for $44k, a JL8 Cross Ram (non-original) in the $60's ?? It looks like the cars are all being sold at great prices.

The cars always look much better on the screens,then in person.
That $44K LS-6 did not have the original born with engine,and had alot of incorrect details as well as many new world modifications from stock.
$44K seems very fair today,after seeing/hearing what it actually was and also getting that number this early in the auction too,seems remarkable for the seller to me.
A more correct,detailed,dialed in w/orig. engine one will bring twice as much money,if not more.

I could see some of the modifications to the car - very easy to remove and return to stock. The NOM engine is not that big of a deal if you can find a CE LS6 to replace it.

I thought that the price of that car should have been at least $20k higher. I dont think I would ever let BJ sell any of my cars as they do all at no reserve and could care less about anything but getting the buyer and seller premiums.

Was the LS6 a real LS6 car? Did it have some paperwork?
I don't know, just asking. If there is no paperwork and a replacement motor, than I think the questions justify the price.

Yeah if you call that a build sheet with the top right hand corner of the sheet missing, where the vin # should be located. Too much wrong with that car for my taste. So i think at 44k you just bought a 70 Chevelle ?. Just my .02 cents.

What's the story on the xram JL8 and Daytona Yellow RS Z/28s? Prices seem low.
