I know that Quick Bowtie was there and if he would have thought that the ls6 chevelles were underpriced,he would have bought them so i agree with charley. Also you do not see these cars in person so you do not know what condition they are really in.I never saw under the hood of the silver ls6 and the red ls6 was very incorrect.

I agree with Chad totally. If you haven't seen the car, the docs, etc., AND, the weather, you are not in a position to comment on what car is a deal, or, that the market is falling. IMO, the prices were very strong in general for the cars that were auctioned.

Prices seemed good up until late Friday night, thats about when most people start heading over to Russo Steele auction which is mostly a muscle car auction. The bidders for muscle cars end up over there. In matter of fact the market is actually pretty strong when you see what the older land yahts were bringing. How about that model A cabrolet for over 150k thats unbelievable.

[/ QUOTE ] AMEN. Great statement. Everyone is quick to call a "low" sale the new market price,not taking into consideration the car was a rebody,had no docs, had a horrible resto,or that it was an automatic[which could really affect certain cars] or that it was gobi beige!! If a red on red Ls6 4 speed w docs that is a perfect resto brings 80K, then we can start looking at things a little differently. You will find those ls6 cars actually brought good money for the condition etc . Yet when a car brings crazy money, people do not consider it the market price because they say some "stupid drunk" had more money than brains. As is stated above,if you arent there looking over every single car for auction you cant sit at home watching TV and decide which prices are going to make up the new market or not. Obviously the people that dont have cars or dont have the money to buy them are going to run with the lowball prices and try to tell everyone the sky is falling.

The trend seems to be towards the Pro-touring cars,that Camaro and Chevelle 'vert with the wagon wheels both brought huge dollars.'71 Z/28 Sport Coupe (matching #'s/POP/48K miles) brought a strong $60K so there is hope for the early 2nd gen cars.Typical auction prices,some good buys,most not.Early cars were geared towards the entry-level buyer,momentum started slowly.Cars sell for what they do because the buyers have inspected them,they are there,we are not...for the most part. Dollars are starting to pick up,tonight should be interesting...

I want to see the Bob Johnson Cuda break the bank...

I think I can safely say that I have purchased more cars than anyone at this years Barrett-Jackson auction.

Did you see Craig Jackson's reaction at the $40,000 sale of the Von Dutch bus? He and his auctioneers were all expecting another bus bidding war like last year but I think this one really opened his eyes. He saw that six figure commission just fizzle away...
