ZL1 #9 Barrett Jackson - Where's Waldo

[1crossram]

There is what is personally acceptable, as everyone has their own line in the sand and budget. For those of us that need to cross a border into another country like Canada from the USA where the vehicle needs to be exported from the States then imported into Canada (and duty and taxes paid), the line is much clearer. I have driven 6 hours one way, found the car to be rebodied, and drove home. Despite how the vehicle might look or cost, the decision is made by my inability to export the car due to customs regulations.

Careful wording = Trying to avoid future legal issues.

When did Floyd Garrett restore this car, in the 80s?

Brought 495k after the commission, that's a lot of money for a rebodied car!

But it sold for half price!

During earlier auctioned off Frank Tiegs cars,specifically the '64 T-Bolt,the '68 Shelby GT500KR,and the '70 Boss 429,Steve Davis broke in and said,"During the restoration of this car,a decision was made to use a Donor Body".
Steve even went so far as to say during the '64 T-bolt description,this is a"Re-Body".
..But when Franks' #9 ZL-1 Camaro came up,not one whisper of a Donor Body or Re-body was uttered by Steve or anyone over the PA.

I noticed that too! Also, remember Craig Jackson's commentary (recorded) about the Tiegs collection prior to the auction ... the #9 ZL-1 has "the original motor".


So, according to Barret Jackson ... this is an original body, original motor car. "One of the finest in existence" (Cunneen report).

Any idea what the seller would net out of that 495k?

"To sell a vehicle at Barrett-Jackson,the seller is responsible for paying the entry fee (based on the time of day of the auction and the lot number),and a seller's commission of 8% off the hammer price.
The buyer pays a 10% buyer's premium on the Hammer price."

So #9 Hammered at 450k,-8% (36k),the seller goes home with 414K.

So BJ gets 81 THOUSAND dollars to sell that 1 car !!! Isn't that near legal robbery ?? Holly crap, I gotta start an auction house. I'll undercut them and only charge 4 to the seller and 5% to the buyer... Anyone want in on that action ...

But their overhead is thru the roof...that's one of the reasons why their buying and selling rates are so high.And the fact that buyers and sellers are willing to pay it!
