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.

the last thing they say on the video is "it's all about fairness at Barrett Jackson"...reminds me of the "Reggie J" ZL-1 Auction .....

although the first buyer was so unfairly treated after winning the car...I hope he THANKS the auction company for reopening the bidding....

Wowwwwww..I need to build a few pro-touring type Camaros...............$$$$$$$$$$$$

I suspect he could buy a similar car for less than 50k these days...

Speaking of legitimacy, didn't Do Dukes Charger sell two years ago for $450,000? That was the time he stood on the roof and sang the song. Yesterday it sold for $240,000.
Same car? Did it really sell two years ago or was this the same guy with the LS6 that sold at RM showing how to loose money on collector cars.

IMHO, (for what ever that is worth), this was total "show business" both times.

I don't care who you are or how much money you have, there is no way anyone in their right mind would pay 400k+ or even 200k+ for a hobbled up wanna-be General Lee, or a "real" one for that matter!

Adding Mr. Schneider to the mix should be an automatic 50% reduction in the auction sale price.

The difference between "rich" and "wealthy" is according to Chris Rock: "Shaq is rich... the guy who signs his check is wealthy." Wealthy people make so much money in interest, they don't care when they make $500,000 mistakes. They're not car guys and gals...they're just out partying. JMO, Ed

They spend stupid money for fakes because their friends don't know the difference and they like being in front of cameras... The only thing bigger than their EGO's are their Bank accounts.

I have watched the televised auctions too, and have always wondered about the "show" verses the "reality". But this time I had first hand account of someone who brought 20 cars to this auction. All very nice cars, nothing super rare, and averaged around $50K per car, He went home with $1M less commissions and expenses. Knowing how few buyers there are right now, I wonder how long it would have taken to sell them one at a time through E Bay or classifieds?
