Barrett Jackson, opinions

[markinnaples]

Anyone watching?

Opinions on the prices, quality of cars, interesting sights, etc.?

Waaaaay too many commercials. Thank goodness for Tivo. That being said, the prices seem to be good but the weekend will tell the story.

I was surprised to see a 70 Trans Am with a column shift automatic go through. Had to be pretty rare, but talk about the wrong shifter in the wrong car!

I did see those two SC/Ramblers go through (one paint scheme A and one paint scheme B) that appeared to go for pretty strong money, although I am not all that familiar with AMC prices these days.

I never realized those AMC Ramblers had interchangeable bumpers front-to-rear! Still not sure about how knowing that will affect me directly, but it's good to know that.

I watched about three hours on Wednesday evening. Some people may disagree, but overall I thought the prices were fairly strong. Unfortunately BJ doesn't have as many stock Musclecars as a few years ago so it's hard to judge. We also don't know if the ones being offerred are in fact "REAL". Good car show none the less.

Yup, very rare but not very valuable. If you forgot to order a console when you got an automatic, the shifter lever wound up on the column.

I can't be 100% certain, but I think a car just went across the block that the old guy with the cane DIDN'T buy. Who is that guy?

All kidding aside, I did see some '68-'72 small block Corvettes that were well bought.

I think he's Honey-Boo-Boo's grandad.All that money to spend on cars but no teeth!

[SUSQ]

True, but he's at BJ having the time of his life and I'm at home wishing I was!
