BARRETT - JACKSON !!!!

I am waiting for the 328 on Thursday and the 456 manual on Friday. I don't think the 456 will go too high.

 

They just had a "custom Hummer" sell for $36,000 they said was a 1980. Until the end of the auction when they corrected themselves saying it was a 1980 GMC pickup made to look like a Hummer, realizing that Hummers were not made in 1980. Not to mention it looked basically nothing like a Hummer. I might just turn it off until Saturday.

 

That's putting it nicely.

 

I would have bought that 928 GT for 22K. Well bought...

 

I miss Keith Martin's observations. Shameful about his departure.
Interesting morsels passing through but B-J remains the very last place I'd want to purchase my dream Matador Barcelona. It's still early, but commentators have nervously mentioned the words 'well bought', a little more often than I'm certain Craig cares to hear. Market seems to have cooled for some of the muscle, no question.

 

i've got a 928 you can have for $900. I actually brought myself to have this on in the backround at work tonight. interesting demographic: 45-60yr old fat balding white men that are poorly dressed for being on tv. pretty small slice of the american pie. Oh, and i don't think i saw a single high bidder smile after the "won". wonder why?

 

Never been a fan of trailer queen owners that allow their vehicle to only show up in a 4th of July parade once a year or even worse, relegate their vehicle to a permanent home in an air-filtered plastic bubble. Automobiles were meant to be driven. That's what the 'mobile' in the word means...

For viewers waiting patiently for hours to see a certain lot number to show up on tv, be aware it might be auctioned off during a television commercial...

 

Twenty to thirty years from now, when today's High Schoolers have "made it" that car will go for a ton of money. A very long term investment, but it will have the TV thing going for it.......eventually.

 

I would just guess that the RR Silver Cloud they used on Burke's Law would have more of that TV thing going for it....when the time comes eventually. So would one of Rockford's several gold firebirds.

Notice I politely did not bring up Sonny Crocket or Thomas Magnum.

 

I want the Monkey'sMobile myself.

 

Ten billion for the original Batmobile. If the shills take it up to twelve billion, my blonde bimbo and I will wait around for Tod's 1960 Corvette.

 

I was on the block during this time, it seemed like the Monster Garage cars were multiplying out back. They went on FOREVER! I was ready to jump off the top of the tent and end it all by the time the trash compactor was up there.

 

I watched a little on Speed . Damn that guy is annoying !! a 62 GtO,62 GTo, 62 GT...62GTO...

 

The Corvette stingray convertible with the small block was a nice buy for $40K ?

 

Of course, but then you COULD have had a mid-seventies Trans Am for about 4 times that figure...

Well bought.

 

Where can I find the daily results or have they not been posted yet?

 

You can find the results on their web-site....http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/search/carlist.aspx

The intersting car will be the "Rondine" Corvette. Designed by Tom Tjaarda and Pininfarina....http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/search/carlist_Details.aspx?&In_LotNumber=1304

 

Well, she is fun to watch:

her nose is in need of a restoration.

 

Just before the 328 bidding starts SPEED cuts to commercial break.

F#CKIN' ****** BAGS!

They just said it sold for $70,000

 

Did they not show it on TV????

WTF?

What's going on over there at White World?

 

The 328 was the #4 seller of the day and #10 of the auction and they don't show it ?, we should do an email complaint about it. That was the only 3x8 Ferrari scheduled for the entire week. (other than pizza)
Seems like the Ferrari prices are going up and the muscle car prices are dropping.(finally)

 

Muscle cars looks so wrong with those 19" and 20" aftermarket wheels. That original Boss 302 was sweet. There's no substitute for originality.

It looks like bidders are being very selective.

Many of the cars are going for way under what you expect and others getting a lot of activity.

Thank goodness most of the junk we saw Tuesday/Wednesday are long gone.

Nice price on the green Boss 302 @ 105,000 and 70,000 for the Ferrari 328


and a rant... STOP PLAYING THE SAME COMMERICALS!! My mute button is getting a work out.
