Just talked to a guy who is at BJ this week....the guy knows his stuff and he says that the quality of the cars is up this year as compared to the last two years.......I will wait to see. So far, most of the stuff has been pretty lame with mixed themes on the cars, tires outside of the fenders by as much as 1.5 inches, stupid stuffed animals and kids toys, silly signs on trucks, flat chested models, and awful paint choices. It can only get better.

Just more reason these cars were on Tuesday and Wednesday???? Anxious to see what the good stuff brings though!

there will be double coma's this year . there is some pretty rare stuff coming up. i watch the corvettes which is where i make my living mostly . especially the restomods . but it's always fun to watch .

Well, it must be Friday!!! The Hubbard Vette with the LS-9 just went for $185,000.00!!!!!

190 grand for a 70 BOSS302 .... crazy ....

62 vette just went for 325 thousand dollars

Here's something that sold for what It's worth $148.500
1957 STUDEBAKER GOLDEN HAWK Lot 1240.2 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company
But then I'm partial to Golden Hawks . LOL Now the price of parts for Hawks will skyrocket !!
BJ = A bunch of Millionaires playing their game !!

They've got the Charity car on now, wild looking Fairlane that was built specifically for this auction, proceeds to disabled Vets....$1 mil....

Ron Pratt paid $700K for the car when it was built!!!!

Maybe a lot of these cars are out of our price range, but so is the amount of $$$$$$$ they give to worthwhile causes!!!!

Thanks Ron Pratt, and thanks Barrett-Jackson, lots of us Vets appreciate this

PS---Ron Pratt is a Vietnam Vet.....

Your right Dave . I guess I forgot about the Charity Auctions bringing in money for good causes ..

Since almost everything is outside my price range , I will sit back and enjoy the show ..

My Fantasy Bidding .. not even close

ron pratt is an amazing fellow as you say .. he will buy a car then give it back so it can be sold to charity .. i have`nt seen the guy who always wears the red ferarri jacket .. .. stuff may be too cheap for him yet ..

what kind of moron slams the door on a 100k+ car ????? that old fool putting the sold stickers would still be trying to get my boot out of his ass.

I saw that too, really surprised the guy lived all the way through Saturday, figured one of them proud new owners would just hurt him really bad!!!!!!!

they left the trunk unlocked on the gt convert and it sprung open. bounced about 4 times. then the old fool with the sold stickers slammed every door he touched. the black 34 on sat was almost pushed over the guy trying to close the hood.

geeze where did they come up with this crew.

My personal opinion is the money is STUPID! I can't believe what these people are willing to pay for some of these cars...

Keith

they SET the price of collector cars. that is what auctions are for. besides it's business , most are museums or serious collections .
