Barrett Jackson auction on now

[Karps TA]

FYI for those who care

Looks like they have alot of the Monster Garage vehicles for sale tonite. And they ain't going for alot.

[xxtremeteam]

$23000 for the diesel trike? would have never guessed that

[Deggy]

Half the stuff I ever saw them make on Monster Garage was nothing I would pay to own...maybe if it was given to me.

[A B4C Z]

Is it on wel-fare cable? cause i dont see it on.

Must be on speed channel?

[Deggy]

yeah its on speed i think...

channel 111 for all you TWC people...lol

[xxtremeteam]

the paint on them is garbage like a 2yr old painted them time was not good to those cars

[Karps TA]

Holy Shit! a 1980 Turbo TA with 7300 miles on it got $63K

That is crazy money for that car, regardless of miles. I knew the 2nd gens were going up in value.

[Deggy]

Weren't the turbo TA's like turbo 301's and were balls ass slow?

[Karps TA]

yes they were turds performance wise, but so was everything back then.

I knew the 2nd gen market was going up, but that's a crazy number. Makes me mad I've passed up so many of them over the years.

[Deggy]

Turds no doubt, but i like 2nd gen f-bodies.

and for 1 to go for 63k...wow.

[Karps TA]

I was expecting the market to really dump this year due to the mortgage crisis and the economy kinda sucking. But so far it's not.

And remember that with the prices, BJ makes 10% on the buyer, and 8% on the seller.

[Deggy]

Was it just a stock TA? or was it modified and such.

[Karps TA]

Dead stock, 7300 original miles.

[Deggy]

oh, the mileage is what sold it.....wow

[Flicktitty]

been watching it on and of most of the night, can't wait to see the big stuff come out on Saturday

[DRK]

Barrett Jackson showcases rich stupid people without a clue wanting to get on TV. A 2nd gen T/A for 63K??? WTF is wrong with people? Shoot that ******* guy in the head!

[hotshift13]

Thank you Shimmy I couldn't have said ir better myself..................

[madmike]

Some of the other cars looked like crap, I thought they inspected the cars first. That blue Mustang you could find on the crappy used car lots in Madison, they showed a lot of rust in the trunk and the guy did not remove all the rust before he painted it as it was bubbling up all over the place, and other cars had nice paint but they did not re-chrome all the grills, bumpers and trim as it was flaking off and looked real bad, but they still sold for a very high price.

[HY35F2T]

i hate those 2nd gen turbo bowl shit i swear to god there the worse car ever made.Oh look at me i suck in air threw the intake then into the turbo then out the turbo then back threw the intake im kool im non intercooled.:rolf:alcoholic

[Karps TA]

The first nights are alway the low end stuff. They could never support 5 nights of just all high end cars.

And if you're the one selling a car and getting top dollar I'm sure you're not complaining.

[Waver]

so what do you think there will be more of in the the top 10....Ford, Gm, or Chrysler....I think last year there were more Fords in the top 10 however Gm had the highest dollar because of some concept car or somthing

[wheelsofsteel]

I was floored when that blue El Camino went for $23K. Yes, it was an original numbers matching SS 396 car, BUT it was a repaint with the wrong color and the worst part was it had trailer wheels on it !!!!

[Waver]

those were trailor wheels.....wow...I didnt even notice that...I am surprised that a lot of the 64 1/2 msutangs that they had were going so low, and the 06 shelby gt-h went for 45,000 when some have been going for 50-60k

[07ROUSHSTG3]

I was floored when that blue El Camino went for $23K. Yes, it was an original numbers matching SS 396 car, BUT it was a repaint with the wrong color and the worst part was it had trailer wheels on it !!!!

yeah, i thought that it would go for closer to 30K for sure. never looked at the wheels that close. seems like most the cars auctioned needed new wheels and tires IMO.


as for the auction, me and a buddy were going to go last year for sh!ts and giggles. we were going to sit in the bidders section and bid on a car just so we could say that we did it. never went though, maybe next year.:thumbsup

[Feature Pony]

The market is tanking, any there probably wont be to many hemi cars there this year, because everyone last year was trying to unload them and they last their a$$ on them. The 70 hemi cuda last year that was sub-lime the guy took a $200,000 bath on that car. If you look closely the clones are going down in value as well as the top end cars are bringing anywhere from $200k-$500k less than years before. Don't get me wrong these cars will never be $5,000 cars again but the market is starting to level off which is good for the blue collar workers that enjoy this hobby and not in it for the money.

[DirtyMax]

The guy that just bought the Green 66 GTO was former Brewers (and current Diamondbacks) pitcher Doug Davis. 2 cent trivia... :thumbsup

[jbiscuit]

i agree that the market has leveled off to a certain extent. Rare cars will always be rare cars and I think the market is so precise for who can actually buy those that the values will still increase. Maybe not like the housing boom that we had a few years ago where overnight your house is worth $10K more but these cars will still always increase in value.

In the next few years we will see a rise in "oddball" collector cars. 4-doors, wagons, odd years etc so that the average joe can still wrench on something with his son in the garage. 1st Camaros for example are so expensive now, the average person can't afford to buy a $7500 basket case needing a FULL restoration. So they might look elsewhere. A 4-door chevelle that is REALLY nice with fresh paint etc and a rebuilt drivetrain for $7500 looks a lot better.

[Karps TA]

I thought last night had alot of pretty good buys. Quite a few cars went for less money then I think it would cost to replicate them. There was a 68 Firebird that was beautiful that went for $30K that seemed like a great deal.

[jbiscuit]

yea that does seem like a really good deal considering.

[pw_cc_runner]

I was so pissed last night at my roommate.... I had been watching for 3 1/2 hours before he got back and when he came back he was like "I'm gonna find something interesting on" and changes the channel! I said I was watching it but he just kept on going. Then he sat down for five minutes called one of his thug friends and left 5 minutes later. :fire

Anyway, the real point is... did anything cool go in the last 15-20 mins?

And you stood there and put up with it?
Nice to know you are your roomate's biatch.
Did you make him breakfast this morning?
:punch:

[flyin_blue_egg]

i'd have to disagree with you on this one.....granted the stuff they actually made i would never pay for, but if someone did the same concepts they did but took out the 7 day timeline then i think i'd buy some of them. to me i think a lot of what they made looked like shit b/c of the timelines

[pw_cc_runner]

No, if you must know the whole story... he made a big stink about how he brought the tv blah blah and took the cord... so after he left I was like fine if you are going to be like that i brought the fridge and all his milk/eggs/food sat out last night and spoiled.

[H8RADE]

Heh this should bea record year for collectors cars! Since all the above is making a shit sandwhich out of its self, people are back to investing money in cars, esp high end muscle cars. So it should be intresting to see what things will peak at. Perfect time to sell that 68' ive got frementing.

[jbiscuit]

when does the camaro go up on the blocks Tommy? What day?

[H8RADE]

I don't think he is using BJ auction house.
Wait...just said BJ...
:rolf

[BAD LS1]

Russo and steele, it goes through this sat night between 8-8:30 MST. It might be on ESPN at that time.

[pw_cc_runner]

Wow the original top on this 54 Buick Roadmaster is awful. Two tone teal car with bright blue cloth top... Can you say color blind factory workers?

[Flicktitty]

[pw_cc_runner]

I wasn't paying enough attention sorry

[Reverend Cooper]

37,500 replicar

[pw_cc_runner]

that's gotta be less than what they cost for factory five to build you one.... not bad.

[Flicktitty]

Thats what i was thinking when i saw it. I've always like them.

[pw_cc_runner]

Were you at Fish Day this year? There was a really nice one there. I voted for it instead of a T-Bucket that I painted... LOL!

[Flicktitty]

Negitive THere pretty cool loooking imo.

[pw_cc_runner]

Damn that thing is bad!

[pw_cc_runner]

That's why I voted for it over this even though I just painted this car like 2 weeks earlier.

[Flicktitty]

the guy with that bentley lost his ass! 300K Sticker sold for 86K lol with only 5000 miles

[pw_cc_runner]

I love seeing all these C2 vettes and 55-57's because a lot of the things they talk about in restoring some of them are things my boss has had me pay attention to on the cars at work.

Bentley Smentley... he would've been better off with an 86 Fleetwood with a Bentley grill

Where do you work? I Like the hot rod you guys painted.

[pw_cc_runner]

I work for MD Classic Automotive Restoration in Port Washington. The T-Bucket and my car were painted in my garage at home with my dad though.

[Flicktitty]

Damn thats badass! you do good work.

[pw_cc_runner]

here's my boss's page if you are bored and want to check out some of his projects... a lot of these cars are from before I started there but still cool stuff.

[pw_cc_runner]

Is it just me or was that Stingray a steal at 80k for that mileage... beautiful car for all original. I dont think you can beat silver with red interior

thought the same thing. I think the early in the week stuff has alot of good buys. friday and saturday are just too damn crazy.

[jbiscuit]

wow, some REAL bargains to be had at B-J this year! I need a fistfull of loot cuz I'd buy all kinds of stuff!

[Karps TA]

I was shocked at how cheap some stuff went last night. There were a couple street rods that went for way less then the cost it would be to build them.

[pw_cc_runner]

I'm sad I have to work... Keep up the conversation for me so I know what goes down until 9 when I'm back.

[Heat Seeker WS6]

Tony Stewarts racecar w/ racesuit, helmet AND his championchip banquet ring to Pratt for $300K!! Goldberg, Reggie & a few other big names pushed it up.
All that went to charity- since B/J waives thier profit on those cars :headbang

[Todd Z]

The buyer also donated 100K to the charity prior to the auction, Class act!

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

I liked the 1970 Yellow Challenger recreation that just sold

[whistlin six]

Anyone else think that female bidding assistant is hot? :drool:

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

Anyone else think that female bidding assistant is hot? :drool:

very much so. Amy Sparks-Assiter- so hot, want to touch the heine:idhitit

[Poncho]

120k for that '67 goat Tony Stewart picked up? Thats insane

[pw_cc_runner]

it not like he doesn't have it... must be nice.

[Flicktitty]

can't wait to see the stuff that goes today

[pw_cc_runner]

Yes! I guess 65k on that first fantasy bid car and it sold for 60. Im in 28th

[flyin_blue_egg]

been watching on and off since about 8 and seen some pretty cool cars...like the V12 car...the name escapes me though

[pw_cc_runner]

Blastolene? I just saw that car in person at the Peterson Automotive Museum in L.A.

P.S. I've been watching since it came on the air at 1pm
