Barrett Jackson.....

Good point Pete!

saw some deals that looked to good but hey I didn't know the machine maybe it was a crap rebody or what ever.

the '68 Hemi car with bike was a steal,

Motion Camaro and Red Alert had me scratching my head...and what was wrong with the Black Hemi car that went for 250?..multi award winner. pebble beach invite, Elvis inspected it and signed off saying she was a good one.

some others as well, overall the good cars went for market and if a guy was taking a leak and missed his car somebody got a fair buy.

I will say unless someone says different I was crying when the green Hemi clone car went across this morning for 72K...car looked good, they may still be working on getting the sellers heart going....

"Rock n Roll" BJ '08 or bust..........

MAN!

It seems that the whole collector car market is up in arms
about this years B-J results. Craig must be crapping in
his pants right about now. They better hire James Carville
to sort this one out. It's all about the money - stupid!

To me Barrett Jackson is an entertainment event. Everyone selling cars there took a risk and knew this up front. The risk for some out weighed the reward. Instead of focusing on the negative, look at the great deals that were found.

At this point many sellers/dealer will reevaluate the risk/ reward of a no reserve auction. I anticipate other competing auctions such as RM and Russo-Steele will rapidly expand due to sellers/dealers no longer wanting the risk associated with no reserve auctions.

Would I, or do I need to sell a car at an auction no. There are plenty of avenues to sell a car. If your car has true pedigree or is a well built resto-mod you should have infinite opportunities thru the internet or boards such as this.

It kinda made me laugh when a sale of the survivor 69 Z28 sold last year at BJ for $211K and many thought this was now the norm. One sale doesn't set the standard for all future sales.

Will I go to Barrett Jackson in the future, absolutely. It is amazing for its entertainment value, and lots of fun being with fellow enthusiasts.

BINGO!

Great entertainment but kind of like Pinks, it could be so much more. As long as C.J., Stevie Wonder and the heathen band of screaming shills are involved it will always put off a stench. And I know Carroll Shelby hung the moon but his reputation ain't all that swell either. <----somebody had to say it!

Not to change the subject but I must for a moment. Atleast the Buick camp is feeling pretty good that their (and mine) beloved Stage 1 GSX finally started to get some attention. 182K worth. This car was advertised as one of the best. That could be debated. But if your looking for a diamond in the rough. Start thinking Stage 1 cars!
