![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ================================================= HOT OFF THE PRESS REPORT FROM THE BARRETT-JACKSON Mark C Bach Well folks the Barrett-Jackson auction is in full swing. 3,000 bidders (paying $300 a pass) were expected over the four days to bid overly $30 million on cars. If you had access to the Speed Channel on cable you saw expanded coverage including an eye ball popping six hours on Friday alone! Thursday had a light rain but didn't detract too many folks from coming and the cloudy skies on Friday morning soon departed to a brilliant sunny day. Barrett Jackson had to scurry to find some pumps to remove some rain water and a few spots were "slippery when wet" (after all, the main sale area is a polo field) but Barrett Jackson, as always kept a firm hand on things and had a great first two days of auctioneering. No surprise that a 69 brown Camaro "COPO" that didn't sell at last week's Silver Auction was at Barrett-Jackson, where it didn't sell AGAIN! Ouch, the bidder had a $110,000 reserve at Silver and after failing to raise sufficient interest, was in the unsold corral with a requested price of $99,995 (heck why not ask for an even $100K?). I'm not sure this COPO will ever sell that high when outfitted with a burnt brown paint, but of course if you paint it a more eye appealing color, you lose the authenticity. ![]() ![]() ??????
