After many emails and visits on the phone, I was elated to finally meet Kevin last weekend at Barrett-Jackson. A true lover of muscle cars and a real down to earth guy.And while there I kept looking for Kevin Hand , but never saw a red wagon being pulled around. Guess he sold all the shirts.

Hi Souperhigh-Maurice, it was a great meeting you in person too. Never did get to talk cars with you again though, too many people.

Bob, only problem was that I went away from B/J empty handed. I think it is a good place to sell a car, but much harder place to buy one at the right price. I may have still been in the running on the "Lawman" if it weren't a rushed atmosphere and not having the time to think it out.

Looked like they were about ready to follow you and drag you back to keep bidding ! They said Lawman would not start.

Barrett-Jackson was the first Auto auction that I have witnessed. If it wasn't for the Speed Channel I would not have seen it. Understanding that they have 800 cars to go though, I was very surprised to see the cars rolling off the stage as they were still being bid on. In a rushed atmosphere like that you could end up making a decision that is not the best. As Supercars stated, It is a good place to sell with bargains hard to find, although I'm sure some did.

Probably a very good ploy to get people to bid thinking the car is going away.

I have found that on Thurs and early Fri there are a few decent buys. The fever really kicks in Fri night and carries through. I bought our truck (#77) about 1:30 Thurs. and after getting it home and even more closely scrutinizing it believe it would cost more to restore an existing truck than I paid for this one ($21600 with commission). Everything about it was very well done. I have learned a couple of things attending many auctions. A lot of cars are prepped for the purpose of selling at auction and after close inspection are not as nice as originally believed. Also people tend to forget that there is an 8% buyers commission!! I heard a rumor that sellers were allowed to buy their cars back at a fee of $500 which would explain the large number of "no reserve" cars. NOTE I said rumor, anyone have any knowledge? Kevin, wish we had had more time to talk. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Jim
