That wasn't the green LS-6 owned by Joe Z. that just got 65K.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

I was amazed this 70 Camaro went for $87K.

70 HEMI Cuda for $170k

That resto mod 58 vetter for $170k was crazy.

"what may look like a bargain on TV often looks like a POS in person."

I'll third that.

That red & white 1970 "supposed" LS6 Chevelle convert sold for $150K....obviously didn't fool anyone knowledgeable https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

Didn't Ron Pratt get the Red LS6?

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

I just got back from the auction and the quality of the cars overall in general was really below average. Some of the cars mentioned as bargains on this thread upon closer personal examination were market correct even for a few years ago. They simply were not up to the standards one would expect.

The lack of quality reflects a couple things in my opinion. First the no reserve format is killing BJ in terms of consigning great cars. Who wants to take the chance in this market with a special car at a no reserve auction? Secondly for whatever reason you choose there were simply not a lot of buyers or spectators for that matter at the auction. Saturday night was like a ghost town for an auction. Lets just say parking was not an issue and parking most any Saturday night at any major strip casino is tough. I was walking around at 7PM tonight (Saturday) and it looked like it was closing and everyone was packing up to leave? The place was empty. Lots of shocked sellers as well. Very few did well.

Thank you!! Man, that looks stupid! Many of the front line guys for both B-J and Mecum think the auction is as much about them as the cars. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif
