Any thoughts on the B-J auction...?

The owner of the lime gold or green Boss 351 also owns the black and silver one crossing the block today. It's my understanding that both are legit. Bob Perkins recently bought two other Boss 351s from this owner and looked at both the cars going to BJ and thought they were legit.

Chuck,

I had asked yesterday about anyone that saw the 71 Lime car and someone mentioned it was close to flawless... I took a look at the BJ site and that car specifically.. I'm sure you probably noticed.. Many things wrong in Engine Compartment, wrong exhaust, wheels AND check out back bumber... changed bumper or not a Z to begin with ? No bumper-ettes... Flawless is a reletive term I guess.

Anyone into Amphicars. I could not believe what that thing brought last night. I know where there used to be 2 of them sitting. I am going to go see if they are still there. I also thought last night(Wednesday) was not as good as Tuesday night.

As i watch BJ I can't help but feel "We're not in Kansas anymore...."

Hey, $56,000 for the 66 427 Caprice.
Way to go. The Buyer got a Bargain.
That was an absolutely beautiful car.
Congrats to the seller. In my humble opinion, it should have sold for even More !

By the way, having been involved in Auctions like B-J, and have people there for me, no time for me to travel there, see my website at http://www.kuhnsklassics.com
The prices paid there are usually a Bit high.(that's an understatement) It is truely a Blip in the market, and althought the sales there help the value of cars like the 66 Caprice, it is not reality. A Note for all viewers of the auction, When you consign your car to be sold No Reserve there, you can Bid on it and "Buy it Back" if you like. In that instance you pay the Buyers and sellers fees but you keep the car. This is done when the seller sees his car not hitting the value he wants to get for it. That's why you might see a car Sold on the block and then later that day For Sale elsewhere in the lot outside. Anyway, Enjoy the show. It is somewhat fun to watch.

Hoo boy, $125K for the red 360HP SS396 Chevelle out of Minnesota. I had a feeling it was going to do well. My buddy at BJ looked at the guy's low mile '69 Z and says that its all that as well. Seller did very well. If rumours are correct, the Chevelle sale about paid for his buy-in, and the Z sale will be pure gravy.......

$ 205000 No direspect to all you big block guys but I am thrilled to own my Z and see this car bring this kind of money. I am sure a yenko or copo with 11000 miles would walk away with a lot more but Today is a good day for owning a 69 Z .

I am not always a fan of what B-J does to the hobbist trying to own original muscle cars and such . here is the link http://www.barrett-jackson.com/event....asp?id=181365

That Chevelle is going to Texas...

Dan, Do you really think that low mile 69 Z is worth that money? Must be something in the water out there.
