Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Any predictions on the muscle car auction prices for these events?
I saw in the latest Hemmings where they showed the results of the Silver Auction, and there were many cars that did not meet reserve, nor their avge selling price! Is this an omen of things to come now that the DJIA is above 10k and my 401k finally made some substantial income? |
Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
The Silver Scottsdale auction is this weekend. My personal feeling is that prices are gonna skyrocket at the BJ Auction. I believe they reported twice as many registered bidders as last year. I was told that BJ has about 17 Hemi cars going across the block and I think they are all no Reserve ? There seems to be a frenzy in the upper end that is making my head spin. At some point the bubble has to burst but I think this Auction is gonna set some Records....But then again if I were so smart I would have all the Money.......

[/ QUOTE ] Charley, This morning I couldn't go to work because it was SO stiflingly cold (Is "stiflingly" a word?) so I was Net-surfing and came across Joe Conte's Corvette website and found out that HE owns the infamous 1964 red Pontiac GTO that DeLorean and Wangers had snuck a 421 cid monster into before the March '64 Car & Driver test. I decided to give him a call. What a great guy! He told me all about the red '64 Goat and where it's been hiding all these years. I asked him if he'd sell it and he said he wasn't planning on it until someone offered him OVER $60K for it earlier this year! So we talked about the BJ Auction and he indicated that he might be interested in that venue... looking to get closer to $100,000 for that infamous car! Yep, the prices are still going up and will continue to do so until all of us Boomers get too old to run 'em any longer. (IMHO, of course!) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif ...but what do I know? ~Goat72 |
Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Charley,
I have to agree with you, my personal thoughts are many cars will hit record prices this year, it will be interesting to see what #66 brings on the block. I have more people calling to locate particular cars then those interested in selling. The owners of several cars that I am aware of that could be for sale have raised the prices substancialy in the last six months. I expect the greatest gains will be in the lower production super rare over the more common but still rare examples. I project the #66 to hit the 320-335K mark. I think the best examples of the LS-6 cars to hit new territory, also the "Survivor" cars will have an across the board increase. Also, the low production rare Pontiacs will continue climbing. Those are "Motown's" picks for this year. Motown https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif |
Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
The only problem with him selling at B-J is that by the time he pays the fees he may only still come out with $60k for it.
|
Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
I predict that the ultra rare cars will be similar in bid prices to last years. But, what do I know! If I knew how to predict the market I'd be an arbitraguer https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
I see Ed Cunneen has a Monaco Orange COPO Chevelle at BJ this year! The car sure looks good! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif I wonder what the reserve is? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Motown.."I project the #66 to hit the 320-335K mark.". Motown, #66 will not go across the block. They are just attempting to sell it to the crowd that will be in town for the Auctions. I believe they want between 450-500K for it. These are the things that have my head spinning......

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Charley,
You are kidding.....right? You have got to be kidding! Geez, what planet have I been living on....did I miss something? Last I knew 300K or so was benchmark, wasnt it? My head just did a 360 degree, so I can sympathize with how you feel....Geeeeezzzzz....... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif Motown https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif |
Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Another rare car will be the '67 Hemi Satellite Conv. 4 speed Dana car...one of one that I'd love to own. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

You want scary? Back in 1985 I bought the infamous (real) yellow/white 71 Hemicuda Convertible for the insane price of $25,000. It was the highest VIN of the 7 produced making it the last hemi convertible built by Chrysler. It needed a minor restoration at the time. People thought I was nuts, as this was twice what anyone had previously paid for an original 71 Hemicuda ragtop. After getting it in a few magazines and having my fun with the car I sold it in 1987 for $54,000 to Greg Joseph and Otis Chandler. It has been through two or three owners since then, last sale was approximatley $880,000. My wife still kids me that we could have been millionares. My response: "Honey, I would have been the millionare and never would have moved to Florida and married you if I hadn't have had that $54K. So dear, In essense, I gave up a million bucks to marry you". She appreciated the thought. Nevertheless, that car brought me good luck and with the meager money I got back then I went on to buy and restore other Hemicars. Either way I still shed a tear for that car when I remember how I beat the living daylights out of it at the 1986 Musclecar Nationals. It was never that quick anyway. The best it would do was 14.05 at 108 mph (yes it had the original motor too!) As I recall I lost to a red 4-door 425/425 four speed Biscayne. Heres a photo for old times sake. -NJSteve

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Ha !..I will be visiting that Cuda while I'm in Scottsdale..If it makes you feel any better, it didn't change hands at 880K.

Was this at Quaker City Drag Strip in Salem, Ohio?

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
I enjoyed the preview show on the Barrett-Jackson Auction. I especially liked the 68 Yenko Camaro they showed, only for a brief couple of seconds.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Before anybody flies out to purchase # 66 you should check with the seller as I was just told that the car was apparently stolen years ago and the Owner just showed up in Arizona with the Police and got his car back. If I am wrong, beat me with a stick but I don't think I'm wrong. Wow.......update.. claimed ownership is in dispute....better off to wait on any more news until this gets sorted out........

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Hate to say it but if that did in fact happen THATS GREAT!!! Hope the owner it was stolen from (if it s true) stops in hear and tells his story. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
I'm gonna be at the auction. In fact, today I stopped by the B-J store in Scottsdale and they had a triple black stripe-delete LS6 that was going for 70-something. I took a pic of it with my cell phone so I will try to post it tomorrow.

[/ QUOTE ] Charlie, feel free to give the current owner my contact info, I will pm you with it. I still have two full albums of photos from that car. It's strange how cars pass in and out of your life. Way back in 1980 I was going to diesel school in Denver and saw a little blurb in an NHOA news letter about the car. Then in 1985 I met up with the owner and ended up buying the car from him. About the $$$ factor I had heard there was some trade(s) involved so money was an estimate. If you have a more accurate figure that I can give my wife I'm sure she'd appreciate it! I do still have one of the monetary offspring of that car: my 1970 Hemi 4 speed Charger R/T-SE (1 of 4 produced) I bought it right after I sold the 71 hemi ragtop in 1987. It had 12,232 miles on it at the time and now 17 years later it has 15,775 miles. It's one of the longest lasting, most satisfying relationships I've had (next to my 10 years of marriage - Wife standing over shoulder now...can't talk...)-Steve Oh and yes that photo was at Quaker City. Were you there and did you beat me? I'd post a larger picture but I can't seem to figure out how to reduce the size of the file without reducing the size of the photo -can anyone help? |
Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Yea! I beat you with my 1968 9737/COPO https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif Just kidding, I was there and seen you and the Red Biscayne run! On the next run the Biscayne blew the rearend or tranny. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif I spent a lot of time at that strip in the early 60s. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I believe they mean #66 on the List of 69 Zl-1 Camaros produced.Not the B/J auction list. 442w30 I would like to see pictures of that LS6 if you can post them.Can you find out if it is a Survivor too,or other pertinant information.I wonder if it is Dean/Chads old Chevelle?

[/ QUOTE ] Joe Conte asked me to kinda clear-up this post, so he won't be inundated with needless questions. When Joe told me he hadn't thought about selling the '64 GTO until about 6 months ago, I mentioned that he must've been offered about $60K for it. Joe said it was more. I assumed that he meant 6-months ago. When I mentioned Barrett-Jackson to him, he agreed that it would be a great venue should he decide to sell. And since he had obviously turned-down OVER $60K, I wrote that he was "looking more toward $100K". Joe is not looking for $100K -- I merely mentioned that he'd be looking for more $$ than 60 thousand, or "more toward $100K" But those were MY words, not his. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif Sorry if I mislead anyone (Charley). https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif ~~GOAT72 |

I believe he has offered it for sale as a package deal with the Astro Blue LS-6. I believe at over $200K for the pair. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif |
Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
I think that car was on a lot in Sugarland, TX. It was advertised on Traderonline.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
Charley,
I dont know if this would have anything to do with the #66 car or not...last year I talked with someone on the east coast who claimed to own the #66 car and that the other was not real. I studied the one in Arizona closely, I could find nothing that would have indicated it was anything but real, looked to be very genuine to me. I did not have a chance to view the other one but I believe the owner when he said HE had the #66 car. This will be interesting to see how it all sorts out. Is it possible there were two in the US with the same VIN, one built many years back as a duplicate, and that being the one that was stolen? They may have grabbed the wrong car? Motown https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif |
Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
I dunno. I think Ed C has also heard about some previous issues but I guess it will get sorted out..
