Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Every car so far on a Tuesday is over 200-300 THOUSAND.
WHERE'S ALL THE MONEY COMING FROM?

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Why is it every time a Camaro is coming up on the block they go to a commercial.. Or is it just me?

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Ha! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] I thought you meant it literally, that the place was burning down and only $200-$300k cars were on fire.... It's been a long day....

Thanks from me, too, Denis, as B-J website appears to be having problems. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Hmmm. South Park says John Edwards is the biggest douche in the universe.

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Yes, the silver deuce is a rebody. I wonder who bought it?

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

$190,000.00 for a Model A circus pickup wagon Tuesday evening.
They also announced that so far the total for memorabilia sold is $4.9 million.
I don't know what's more absurd,10K for the fantasy Shell sign or 250K for that fake Beverly Hillbillies car.You could have bought a real classic Packard or Cadillac for that.

Honestly and in my opinion, when I was talking to the wife last night about B-J I told her I thought this was going to be a banner year there for high prices. Maybe not prior to the bust, but the economy is getting stronger (in spite of govt actions and really just on the backs of regular Americans being sick of the economic doldrums, IMO) and people are a little more optimistic. I just had a feeling the bucks would be flowing there this year.

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Or perhaps B-J has been serving more alcohol this year

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Low interest $ available and minimal returns for those w/ funds to invest helps loosen up money usually held tighter...add liquor also world events of late = spend and let's all enjoy life while we can?

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Guess the Pratt cars had a lot to do with Tuesday's higher prices, according to the Velocity commentators.

Tonight a nice stock/orange '71 454 Corvette gets just past 30K and then a &quot;rat rod&quot; '71 Chevy short bed, with actual rust holes, gets 30K. I'm sure I am missing something here!

Nice to have Steve Magnante commenting on the cars.

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

I like the commentary better this year.They got rid of 4 on air staff that I didn't like much.Magnante and Joy are great!They really know their stuff.

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Mike Joy is even worse at BJ than he is on the NASCAR telecasts.

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

I can't believe the prices those rat rods are bringing, ugh.

The land of conspicuous consumption.

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Any thoughts on the Pratt '69 &quot;Motion&quot; LS-7 Camaro? Daytona Yellow, looks cool.

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Not going to watch any this year. Tired of the BS and hype. Yes Pratt has a nice collection, he has the money. There are other cars there other than his. And most of all its the Ford show because they sponsor it. How many times have you waited for a car to come up and they go to commercial. Or if a Ford is going at a low price Steve Davis steps in and opens his mouth. Tired of this nonsense. There are a few cars truly worth a million dollars and NONE of them are our beloved muscle cars. Sorry

My grandfather had a great line when he saw someone with the barn door open...

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

67 Z/28 cowl plenum,headers X drag car, complete resto , stalled at $80,000.....Steve Jackson &amp; J.McNiesh spoke....... sold for $180,000....+ buyers fee

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Didn't that happen with the Super Snake in 2007? Bidding stalled in the 1.5 million area, Shelby told some stories and off it went?

Mike Joy may be a fantastic human being, but his blatant screw ups, on practically every car, are like nails on a chalkboard. You can almost hear Magnante's eyes roll.

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Joy's not that bad. I thoroughly enjoy his commentary.

They jumped the shark a long time ago. Now I consider it an insult when someone calls a car, a &quot;Barrett Jackson quality&quot; car.

Yes, those inane comments drive me nuts. Like when they ramble on about how is it possible that a cross ram, JL8 Z/28 could possible go for only $50,000...as I am screaming at the TV: THAT&quot;S BECAUSE IT'S A CLONE WITH NO REAL PAPERWORK AND A QUICKLY PAINT JOB THAT IS STILL WET....

I DVR the coverage and then fast forward through the crapola. I watched the 3 hour episodes an about 30 minutes. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

You might say it's a little like the WWF of car auctions.

Re: Barrett Jackson is on fire
 

Just turn the sound off and look at the cars...that's what I do sometimes when I get tired of the hype.But on a good note,our favorite B-J guy S.Davis, has his own line of sunglasses.
