HOT OFF THE PRESS REPORT FROM THE BARRETT-JACKSON
Mark C Bach
Well folks the Barrett-Jackson auction is in full swing. 3,000
bidders
(paying $300 a pass) were expected over the four days to bid overly
$30
million on cars. If you had access to the Speed Channel on cable you
saw
expanded coverage including an eye ball popping six hours on Friday
alone! Thursday had a light rain but didn't detract too many folks
from
coming and the cloudy skies on Friday morning soon departed to a
brilliant sunny day. Barrett Jackson had to scurry to find some
pumps to
remove some rain water and a few spots were "slippery when wet" (after
all, the main sale area is a polo field) but Barrett Jackson, as
always
kept a firm hand on things and had a great first two days of
auctioneering.
No surprise that a 69 brown Camaro "COPO" that didn't sell at last
week's
Silver Auction was at Barrett-Jackson, where it didn't sell AGAIN!
Ouch,
the bidder had a $110,000 reserve at Silver and after failing to raise
sufficient interest, was in the unsold corral with a requested price
of
$99,995 (heck why not ask for an even $100K?). I'm not sure this COPO
will ever sell that high when outfitted with a burnt brown paint, but
of
course if you paint it a more eye appealing color, you lose the
authenticity. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif
