Barrett-Jackson / Palm Beach / April 06

I guess I dont see it as picking the cars apart necessarily. Its more of a first hand account of how the car looks in person, rather than the few seconds of video in each area we see on TV.

If it needs attention in some areas, they say that. If its a very nicely done car, the mention that also.

They messed up on the black 70 LS6 chevelle tonight too. When it rolled across the auction block they said it was originally a 396 car when in the trunk there was a document that the seller put there clearly said that it was a LS6 car. Ealier in the program they said that the car wasn't certified as an LS6 and they got that confused when it rolled across the block. I could see a car there not being "certified", but why would you lie about authenticity at a place like barrett jackson, where a car is picked apart before it even rolls across the block.

Bottom line is you have to be cautious about some of what they say. They know a lot, but there isn't any one person that knows all about every car. I've heard these guys quote production numbers and other things that are way off. If they do that with just the few cars I really know about, then who knows what else might be off on. And yes, I know that some of the info they get is from sellers documentation which is sometimes incorrect.

It was great to see the buyers more aware of the GARBAGE going threw the block.
I found the best car down the street at a local car show on Saturday on the way to dinner after BJ's.
The best buys were the Street Rods. Now those guys had to be crying! HALF OFF SALE !!
A few good Muscle cars but over ALL, guys got caught trying to sell &*^%. Everybody was talking about the quality of the cars and if it was quality, it didnt have paperwork.
I just tell it like it is. Sorry NO sugar coating it !!

I couldn't hear the sound very well. What was wrong with that LS6 that it went for $58K?

"What was wrong with that LS6 that it went for $58K?"

OK Rich I had to do it.
"I found the best car down the street at a local car show on Saturday on the way to dinner after BJ's."
I found that statement confusing. Are you saying that you got a BJ before dinner? Please tell me your secret.

What makes it hard (no pun intended this time) for me to watch it is the "brokers" out on the floor. They annoy me to no end., even the cute woman with the long brown hair. With their hand motions and screaming jibberish is just too much.

Chuck You have to be there !! To see the cars in person, you would know why some cars did it and some cars fell..
Been saying for a long time Pedigree Pedigree !!
Some people think they can cash in on the name(BJ) and bring #3+ condition cars and sell for #1 condition prices and they didnt fool to many people. Arizona brings in the EYE CANDY and they go wild..The cars that looked Super brought the money at Palm Beach, which was very few.
Vettes came out in full force
