Barrett Jackson
 

Anyone going?
I'll be watching on TV but the lineup of muscle cars doesn't compare to the Mecum Kissimmee auction.

Agree Dave. I went through the dockets for Thursday to Saturday and didn't see one 69 Chevelle, stock or otherwise. For today (Friday) there are a few interesting items coming up later in the day, but only a few. I don't get their TV channel so I pop in for streaming on occasion. Last week's Mecum was a standout in my opinion.

I can't believe the $ still in the wrapper 2nd generation Trans Ams are bringing! a 79 10th Anniversary car for $170,000!!!

Re: Barrett Jackson
 

With the prices some of the cars are going for the room seems to be pretty empty.

Re: Barrett Jackson
 

Don,

There were several 69 Chevelle SS cars at B-J, but I believe every one of them was a 'tribute', 'recreation', or whatever. There is no doubt that Mecum Kissimmee is pulling some of the high quality original muscle cars away from B-J.

Re: Barrett Jackson
 

Just my $.02, but it seemed to me that BJ struggled to get anything stock and high dollar compared to past years. Highest bid/sold car was a 918 Porsche at roughly 1.5mm? used to see that routinely at BJ, seems likes the cars are becoming secondary there. BJ car wax and detailing spray anyone.?

Re: Barrett Jackson
 

Did not watch BJ much this year. Velocity kept up its alloying habit of cutting to commercials right when there is a 69 Camaro on deck. A couple of times of that and it get switched off [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Modified cars with bling and 22&quot; wheels are going for more money than stockers...for the most part.

Re: Barrett Jackson
 

It's cyclable.
10-15 years ago correct assembly line stock was all the rage,because modified street &amp; clapped out driver quality cars were the majority.
Those cars were soon bought up &amp; restored back to assembly line stock,so now the minority modified is all the rage today.
When everyone gets tired of seeing 22&quot; wheel modifieds around their town,assembly line 14&quot; stock wheeled cars will make a return,and SMOG parts prices will double.

The one thing I can't accept @ all,are tall 22&quot; circus wagon wheels on these 45 + year cars......nooooooooo.

@ B-J Saturday,did you watch the 1970 Chevelle Shadow Grey LS-5 cnvt.(lot#1423),sky rocket &amp; sell for $189,200.00,while the 1970 Forest Green LS-6 cnvt.(lot#1417) sold for less @ 176,000.00?....didn't see that coming.

Or how about the 1970 Schwinn Cotton Picker sting-ray getting $2900.00.
