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

All I can add to this is that I have several customers that will step up and pay record prices today for NO BS FACTROY STAMPED FACTORY DOCUMENTED soild lifter big block corvettes. There are VERY FEW that come up in a venue like this. I know of many REAL cars but no one is willing to part with them beacuse the are almost impossible to replace.
I also have a customer who is looking for a 67 gt 500 boss 429 and boss 302 who will be paying a higher price because of this.
So if the bubble has burst or has a slow leak...and anyone wants to sell thier 67 435 Corvette for 100,000.00 let me know I'll buy 10 of them today.
This all boils down to the real cars will always bring very strong prices when selling
It was just last year when B/J was setting record prices and evryone said who will pay these prices, that I posted about some of my customers that paid twice the going price of a restored for a car needing restoration ( but these cars had multiple pieces of factory documentation and born with drivetrains).
Even when things change they still stay the same (if you know what I mean!)

During the times that I have watched the BJ auction I've seen many of the big collectors from past years but, couldn't help but notice that "Ralph" (the big guy that was involved in the bidding war for the Future Liner last year with Ron Pratt) has not made an appearance. I guess that whole mix-up with the Future Liner last year didn't sit too well with him.

They showed him on TV again this year and said that he was one fo the bidders on the futureliner last year. I think he was the high bidder on at least one of the hemi cars. He certainly kept a lower profile than last year.

By no means was I making light of anyone with an eye problem and completely understand that sometimes you have no choice. I have seen videos of Steve with out the sunglasses and it appears his eyes are working properly.

It's a Dracula thing: He's afraid you'll all see he has no soul. I also noticed that neither he nor Craig Jackson ever appeared standing next to a mirror. What are they afraid of?....I reviewed the entire 40 hours of tape and despite the fact they are standing next to hundreds of cars, you NEVER once see their reflection in the glass. ooooooooooh spooky I say

[Chris396]

Seeing Craig Jackson turn into a bat and flying away...now that would be great TV!

I'm sorry but the guys doing the commentary on the 68 Impala SS427 convertible are clowns. . They are saying there were 68 Caprice SS convertibles with 4 speeds. Very rare. Ya show me one. Morons. These guys should learn a few things before talking about these cars on national TV.

Watching BJ and thinking its the true test of muscle car values, is like watching "The girls next door" and thinking Hefner is living the average bachelors life.

King, stop, you're killing me!
