Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

Anybody heading out to Las Vegas this weekend ? I haven't even looked at their lineup... ,is there any good cars going to be there ?

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

Fed-ex was at my house a couple of days ago picking up a car going to Colorado, everything else in the trailer was going to Vegas, 70 Boss 302 mustang, 67 corvette, etc..

That place resembled a morgue more than a happy festivity. There were several bargains that crossed the stage last night. And some depressed sellers watching.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

One of my Bosses is there now for his first car auction experience. I am nervous on his behalf, to say the least, as he is selling two highly modified cars.

Will be interesting to see...

No kidding! couldn`t beleive some of the deals. They then had the audacity to say that the economy has not affected the auction or car prices....whatever!

Saw lots of cars that went for 30k that would have been 45-50k 8 months ago.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

I watched part of it on TIVO today and the only smokin deal I saw was a 37 Ford with trailer for around 24K.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

I am watching now, any guesses on the upcoming '62 Caddy?

That's the Bosses first car up. Tomorrow, he is offering up a Pimped out Rolls.

Hey Charlie.....

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

The prices seem way down from prior years, and considering it's Vegas, I thought they would be higher.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

The two 69 SB/auto PCs that went through earlier brought pretty strong $$$ IMO, other first gens I saw did pretty well also.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

Best Deal , I saw today was the L89 53,000 mi Corvette went for mid-$60's !!!( I think Terry at ProTeam ended up buying it )

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

Hammered at $92K: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

Yea , I couldn't quite figure the $92,000 for this one ????

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

market is definitely down for some former high flyers, 70 Boss 302 numbers car $54k?, these were 75-80 all day a while back,Mopars are certainly down, It seems the Nova yenko clones brought fairly decent $$ ? go figure

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

I feel the market on corvettes is soft as well. I see proteam snaggd up that low mileage 68 L89 for $60K??? Several midyears I felt went low also. The cars that I figured would go for a premium didn't. I also couldnt understand why that 69 black L34 camaro went for $92K???

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

Real Black RS/SS car with a real window sticker...it tripped my trigger.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

that red '66 vette..cross breed resto mod and stock appearing was looking very nice at 50k...

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

What was that one Hemi, 66/67 Belvedere with a non-numbers matching Amotor but with a date coded Hemi for about $60k?

Seemed more than fair.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

Of course the market is down some. No brainer, look at all the GREAT cars posted here that have not sold. I don't know why people are amazed about at the lower prices right now. Pretty predictable.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

I agree the market is down some, however I was wondering if you would see the affect with the high rollers that this auction draws... Joe plumper might feel the market affect but not sure some of the boys there will. Just my opinion...

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

I would be very hesitant to bring a great pedigree car to a no reserve auction in a first time location. Maybe it's the quality of the cars that the prices are reflecting. I've still seen some great private transactions lately amongst high end collectors.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

The Caddy sold for 38k, a bit short of the 80k he was expecting.

His '54 Rolls comes up within the next hour.

What about the 69 1/2 M-Code Super Bee? Something had to be wrong there. Said it was a matching numbers engine/trans/rear yet it sold in the 60's? This was a really unusual car too, being a post with buckets/console and PS & PB, all rarities on an M-code Bee, especially a post!

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

geez....how about an Ls6 for 60 some thou ???? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

Unbelievable!

He blasted that one out of the park at 205K!

Might be a good time to ask for a raise. lol

Was that Joe Z's LS6?

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

not sure whose it was........it was the green one/ white stripes. it was one of the "bargains of the day"

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

We need to remember that unless you're there to see, feel & touch the car & the docs, you can never judge an auction car on TV from 1000-2000 miles away. Are prices down from two years ago? Yes, but what may look like a bargain on TV often looks like a POS in person.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

That's for sure... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

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.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

70 HEMI Cuda for $170k

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

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
 

"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
