Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014-Cool surprise, too!!

[Xplantdad]

Holly and I hit Barrett Jackson early today...and stayed until way after 3pm. We met up with Abe Koser and his son (great folks), Rick (I'm a driver at Barrett-Jackson) Eckenrode, and quite a few of the local guys as well!

Enjoy the diversity...Barrett-Jackson definitely has that!! Also, we got invited to see the new Cobra unveiled...pics of that in a bit!

Group shot...then singles...

As I said before, Holly and I were privileged to be invited to the unveiling of the NEW Shelby Cobra at Barrett Jackson today (invitation only). Scott Black, the PR guy from Shelby American extended the invitation to Holly and I (he is also the one responsible for arranging the meeting with Carroll and Holly a few years ago). Present at the unveiling was John Luft, President of Shelby American and Gary Patterson (VP of Operations and test driver) and other dignitaries as well!

Here's the car before the unveiling...

Anyone knows what the 74 Trans AM sold for?

It was good seeing everyone there today and having a good time. Spending time in Phoenix with Doug Perry and the Iowa crew has been fun and I can't wait until we see the Pavilions in person.

Jan </div></div>

It went for an insane amount (for a 74 SD) $132,000 - that's more than double the average sale price of a 74 automatic SD.

Nice car but that buyer is going to have some REAL buyer's remorse when he sees what they normally go for out in the market.

But, hey, since it's Barrett Jackson, now all the rest are worth that amount, right?

Anyone see the Mecum guy slam the hood on the red 71 Hemi Cuba convertible at the Kissimmee auction? I think he should have taken out the hood clevis pins before he did that. Not pretty and the camera happened to be right there at the pins when he did it.

[scuncio]

Nice pics, looks like you guys are having a blast. Do you recall what the L89 Chevelle went for?

Not sure...but I know who bought it...so I can find out <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[Mr70]

The 1969 Blk/Red L89 Chevelle sold Friday for $68,200.00 w/buyers fee.

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

63K plus commission.

Very low price for an L89, I would love to look this car over sometime.

Ryan

[Xplantdad]

Buyer sold a black/red 69 SS Chevelle...and bought a black/red 69 Chevelle....LOL!

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

My kind of guy, sells one 69 Chevelle to buy a better one.

Ryan

[scuncio]

Wow! Good deal for that L89 car. I'd love to know more about it. Thought that would have broken the $100k mark pretty easily .

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Me too.

I love the L89 option.

Ryan

[mhassett]

Ryan, In the Barrett Jackson brochure that they sent me stated: the car had L-89 Heads--they NEVER printed it was an L-89

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Thanks Mark.

I love those aluminum heads.

Ryan

[BJCHEV396]

I was surprised that the Snake/Mongoose vehicles didn't meet reserve.Wonder what R.Hendrick paid for them post block.What did ''OLD RELIABLE''sell for and was Grump the driver or wrench on it?

[CC Rider]

Thanks for the pics Bruce. Surprising how much stuff I missed being their for eight straight days.

[SUSQ]

Bruce, Alex and I enjoyed meeting both you and Holly. A pleasure for sure! We had a great first BJ experience and will be sure to return. Alex and I chatted wtih Linda Vaughn on Friday. I'll post my pics when I get home. Linda was pretty tired and said she was getting another stent inserted this week. She's a trooper for sure and we wish her well.

Love that white Z/28 with the red guts.

Did anyone happen to take more photos of this car?

The Old Reliable sold for $230. It was for sale for years for $495 at RK Motors in NC. Jenkins tuned it and Dave Strickler drove it.

Ouch...

It might have been as I just caught the tail end. I just cringed when I saw him slam the hood shut and saw the clips still in the pins. That had to leave a mark.

What! That's a (repop) GM air cleaner housing! They couldn't get a 289 Hi-Perf chrome unit to put on there?

[bigjake]

That's also a Corvette expansion tank!

At least get the Ford chrome lid. Use the base to get clearance. Details!
