I've got my "wish list" at home I've made from my catalog...can't wait to be there! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[supersport69]

How about lot# 1304. 1954 Pontiac bonneville motorama concept car.
http://www.barrett-jackson.com/events/scottsdale/vehicles/cardetail_list.asp?id=183033
Should be interesting to see what that brings.

[Don_Lightfoot]

The "Briggs Chevrolet" Ray Allen car, 70 LS6 ragger.

I think it goes across the block close to the same time as Jim's 70 Velle SS convertible. I'll be checking the BJ website in a week or so to make note of the ones I want to watch.

[KevinW]

I really want to see the Futureliner up on the block, it is huge!

I heard that Charlie is after the Futureliner so do not bid against him. This is the next big thing for him after the station wagon.

Too bad it wasn't restored as it was on raceday http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif...

[Don_Lightfoot]

Agree. The latest word I have is it will have decals on an otherwise stock resto. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Well that would be better...but not as nice as it looks in the Winner's Circle picture in the catalog. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

I say this car will be worth the most in race-day trim.

Heck...it's only got what...61 miles on it...a 1/4 mile at a time! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

The New 69 Baldwin-Motion 540 Camaro SuperCoupe

Saturday night- Lot #1290.

Live on Speed Vision.

FutureLiner

That was...NEAT!!!!

Thing that I like most about that vehicle is the fact that the GM sticks out there right into your face!

[Musclecarkid]

Don,

The Briggs Chevelle is going over the block Sat Jan 21. Lot #1287 (just ahead of the new 69 Motion Camaro)
I'm sending a bunch of my T/K Memorablia to be on display with the car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Hopefully Bruce will do his usual stellar job like last year http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif so no one will feel left out.

WITH '' ALL '' YOU GUYS GOING TO // BJ // IF YOU <<POOL>> YOUR MONEY , YOU COULD GET A REALLY SHARP CAR,BUT THE PROBLEM IS, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU GET.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif....KASEY..

[GeorgeLyons]

My COPO Chevelle is #1013.1, Friday night Jan. 20, approx 7PM AZ time, Speed TV is running then I am told. I also have a '66 HEMI Satellite, 15k unrestored survivor #1053.1, about an hour later. They both left Erie yesterday. For those of you coming out my cars are side by side in tent #1. I'll be around all week assisted by my new volunteer, some guy named Hassett from Ashtabula, Ohio. Please come by and see us. Should be great spectator sport all thru the week. So...........what is the guess from you guys on what the COPO should do on the block ? Just curious.

[Xplantdad]

George...I will be there...and hope to meet you http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I wil take lots of pictures of your cars...and you and that Hassett guy http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif...

BTW, thanks for the "Dill caps". Will you have them on your cars? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[mssl72]

I'm kinda watching this one. Wanna go grocery shopping...real fast! Not many of these.

web link (http://www.barrett-jackson.com/events/scottsdale/vehicles/cardetail_list.asp?id=181853)

[ssl78]

George, my guess is around 235k before fees and with this market thats all it is is a guess no one really knows anymore

[csx289]

I'm smack dab in the middle of George's cars, I have lot 1034 , my 69.5 Super Bee A12 6 Pack, and 1034.1, my 58 Vette 290 HP FI car. I think they will run earlier than George listed (or so I was told by BJ BEFORE my check cleared - LOL). They start at lot #900, run about 20 cars an hour, so....lot 1034 should be around 5pm PST, +/- depending on if they clip along nicely or have to work hard on some cars and slow it up.

I have a yellow GT500KR convert and the 69.5 Bee in the Showcase, plus my 69 Judge hardtop and 58 Vette in Tent 1. Stop on by and say hi once you see George!

Regards,
Colin

[Bill Pritchard]

A guy who is local to me also has a 69 Chevelle COPO at B-J...a Forest green one, entry #1047. Met him at a small local car show this past summer, and at that time he told me he already had it consigned. Told me he was hoping to get north of $200K for it.

Colin, I really hope you're right on the time estimate....but if B-J runs true to form as they have in past years, it will probably be way later than 5 pm http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Xplantdad]

I'm going to be watching for this car...

1966 Chevelle SS low miles.... (http://www.barrett-jackson.com/events/scottsdale/vehicles/cardetail_list.asp?id=181369)

[COPO427]

Sure is alot of 68-69 Z/28 cars for sale coming out of the woods. Is there a plant somewhere pumping these out. Same goes for the SS396 Chevelles. Maybe Rip Van Winkle owned them and just woke up after a long sleep.

[Mr. T]

Glad to see there are a couple of 69 SS396 El'Camino's included in this years auction. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif I will definately be taking a look at them.

[Mr70]

Take pictures of those for us T.

[Mr. T]

Will do Rick. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[JTH74]

With recent prices of 71 Hemi Cuda Convert prices, I am really interested to see what the 70 Hemi Cuda Convert brings at Barrett Jackson. 3.0 to 3.5 million? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

- As well as a lot of others, I'm most interested in what the Futurliner goes for too. . I've had some minor involvement w/ the NATMUS Futurliner resto. also been on the trail of one of the lost units up here in Canada for a few years. .

As far as 'in your face' Amy goes....I'd drink her bathwater!

[Mr70]

Are they gonna drive the Futurliner up on stage?

[PeteLeathersac]

If you miss out on the bidding, here's the link to buy the Futurliner scale replica. . A whole lot easier to park and only $1845.00! ~ Pete

It will be interesting to see how they auction it off. If it pulls up on the block, I hope it is re-inforced.

[PeteLeathersac]

Is this pic shown above the Futurliner at B-J (previosuly known as the Fido unit) or of the recently restored NATMUS one? ~ Pete

[Mr. T]

Pete,
Taken from the Barrett-Jackson site.


One of 12 built by GM, a self-contained display and transport vehicle created by the GM design staff under Harley Earl's direction. Opening side, lighting, retractable stage, distinctive center "cupola" cockpit driving position and dual wheel front axle. Used in the "Parade of Progress" touring exhibit created by "Boss" Kettering that complemented the GM "Motoramas" from 1940 through 1956. One of only three survivors restored in their original "Parade of Progress" configuration (the others are in long term ownership by NATMUS and Peter Pan Bus Lines), this Futurliner is fully functional and has toured Canada in corporate promotions. Recently returned to its original "Parade of Progress" configuration and colors. Powered by a 400ci GM truck engine and fully equipped including an onboard motor-generator and updated air conditioning for the driver's compartment. A matchless symbol of the American auto industry at the height of its power and influence.

[PeteLeathersac]

Thanks Tony. . What I was wondering was if the pic you posted was the one at B-J or if it was the one restored by Natmus on the Futurliner website? . It looks so nice I thought it may be the Natmus one? . The toured Canada notes are from when it was owned by the Fido phone company and it is the one now at B-J. . I hoped to get a look at it a couple years ago when I went to the F-1 races in Montreal but missed it. . Thanks! ~ Pete

[Charley Lillard]

I'm off of it...

I am not 100% sure which Futurliner it is Pete, I got the picture off the BJ site. Here is some more pictures of it.
