BARRETT - JACKSON !!!!

Jackson and co always are always saying how the car is such a good deal and worth a mil, if it is such a steal. Why don't they put there money where there mouth is and buy one themselves?

 

GM leads plenty of the time. Performance for the dollar is just one area.

Use of exotic materials and processes such as titanium exhaust, magnesium castings (and I am not talking about with this ZR-1, but YEARS ago), as well as things like the first to do active handling/yaw control, MR shocks and other things that have been copied by (gasp!) Ferrari.

 

I think this is the same Charger that was to sell on Ebay but the auction ended up being a complete disaster.

A steal for the most recognizable car in the world.

 

classic the guy asks for more to drink...he didnt even know what he was bidding. They ought to be able to recind the bids for entering into contracts under the influence. jon in delaware

 

That's nuts.

 

Gotta give it to Bo.

Guy realized it was all about workin' the crowd and that he did.

 

That's true. The energy here really picked up here around 3-4 o'clock.

 

That was funny when the other guy shared his beer. I think it was the Lambo guy.

 

I was impressed with Jay Leno's speech before they sold the '09 ZR1. Jay is so cool; such a down-to-earth, self-depricating kinda car guy (the best kind). $1m is pretty darn solid money, imo, for basically getting serial #1 and a nice VIP delivery package of the ultimate Vette.
Still, that being said, BJ seem to me to be getting a little less desirable every year. Anyone else concur that?

 

I hope they enjoy it for that price.

 

Sure did and he actually sang the Dukes song pretty damn well!

I did cringe though when he stood up on the roof in his shoes. Ouch! He should have known enough to stand on the top of the door or something - not on the roof1

 

Ugh, you couldnt pay me 450 trillion to drive a General Lee.


I wish I had the money to buy that ZR1.

 

Those actors stood on the roof so many times I guess it is just old hat.

 

I was joking , that's what the announcers keep saying. I agree with you. I also liked the Vette for list price.

in ten years no one will know or care. when you are dropping that kind of money , you should know what you are doing or hire someone that does.

 

I like most of the cars Alice brings to the show. He is a smart guy...he never buys a car at the Barrett just sells them. Jon in Delaware

 

nice driver he brought today....

 

Whomever bought it can say "that dent is from when Jon stood on the car and sang the Dukes theme song..you should have been there!"

 

Or (as I suspect is the case here), have enough money not to care what other people think or what the future value will be.

Good job to the buyer - if he is happy, thats ALL that matters, regardless of how much others on the internet (who don't have the bank to make the purchase) think he/she overpaid for the car.

That car looked sharp. I liked the paint.

 

I have read some stupid things on here but that takes the cake.

I will disagree with you there. There are so many repro's of the orignal at every major car cruise so IMO the car wont loose that much popularity.
