I See That There Are 22 Buicks For Sale At That Auction, Wonder How They'll Come Out
Barrett-Jackson Auction
In any event:
I'm quite sure there will be some MAJOR "Sucking-UP" going on!
It's part of the experience and demeanor to escallate and inflate prices.
There are some beautiful cars shown, but I personally think some people have more money than brains. or is it just for the rich and famous.
I often wondered if the booze is flowing and some of these inflated prices could be considered as alcohol related incidents? or Principles of salesmanship505 at the graduate level.
I saw the guy from last year buying the olds concept car for outragious money, what like 3 Million.
The is a sharp looking Pontiac concept car of the same vintage up for bid.
Anyone want to be the same guy makes an appearance?
It was ALL about him!
I would just love to be there to see what goes on behind the scenes!
WHAT DO OTHER FELLOW MEMBER THINK? IS THIS GOOD OR BAD IN REGARD TO THIS THING OF OURS AS A HOBBY?
IT'S NOT LIKE THESE BUYERS ACTUALLY WORKED ON THESE VEHICLES AND REFURBISHED THEM.
OFTEN IT IS THE RESULT OF SOMEONE ELSES TALENT

It's entertaining but I think it's bad for anybody with an average income. It's just making all old cars less affordable because every Joe now thinks his 4 door Roadmaster is worth six figures because Howard Hughes' went for 1.5 mil. Come on, a million dollar Cuda? They're cars!
1953 Special Riviera 45R
1965 Skylark Hardtop 300-4V
1965 Mustang (in the family since 1968)
1965 Corvair Monza Convertible
1965 Dodge Dart 170 Wagon
1974 Pontiac Firebird Esprit
I gotta' agree with you guys! Even if you can come close to justifying the price of the cars that sell there, it makes a lot of people with cars that just aren't worth the buck inflate their prices into the area of ridiculous!

I Agree With That, But Is Anybody Getting Sick Of Seeing Vettes Go Across The Block, I Know I Am, Also The Street Rods Ford Or Chevy With The Opposite Motors In Them That's Kinda Sad, And Loose Alot Of Money For Doing It To! Whatever Different Strokes For Diff Folks : :d
Barrett-Jackson Auction
Wednesday Night saw an amphicar go for big bucks
Flet sorry for the owner of the 37 Pontiac with 40 grand worth of receipts only go for 26k. I thought he did a pretty nice job. Nice woodgrain interior.
I get a kick out of the commentators remarks like "This car has seen some time under the hood" I have noticed that They are really quick to point out that the engine compartment isn't detailed. It appears that they thing every car should look just like it came off the showroom floor or has had a concourse body and frame off resturation.
How may 1969 Camaro SS Indy Pace Cars are we going to see? White with Pumpkin Racing Stripes? I have just been watching the last 2 nights and I think I counted 4 already.
One guy spent 50K on a customized T- bucket. That's about 20 bucks a pound for Half a Ford. Excuse me, I don't think so. That's not what I would consider A-Ford-able
Most people don't realize that the Mustang is really a Falcon in a pretty dress!
A Fiat with a canopy top and Wicker seats went for way too, too much dough, a glorified golf cart.
I can't believe the money that is being transacted, it's ludicrus
The people buying this stuff are middle=aged baby boomers
Have any Members actually attend this auction.
I would really like to hear what goes on>
Regards,
Tom Gallagher
