Re: Barrett-Jackson
I don't know Dick, I've seen you in enough car magazines, and that would make you a celebrity in the car world. I like the price on the 67 L89 Vette. Should I send you mine now?
My LS6 convertible is still in the original 1970 title, has 3 build sheets, and just about every record such as registrations and insurance cards by the original owner. Never had been touched until I had it restored, to what I feel is impeccable museum quality. Almost a survivor beforehand, but a little aging process made me decide to restore it. The drivetrain, every nut and bolt is still original though. I've said to people calling to buy it, that it isn't for sale; but at $220,000 that would change in a instant.
then, like Tom pointed out in another thread, the COPO's weren't really hitting any homerun's; and as you say the average Vettes were soft. It appears to me that it was very high quality restored car when combined with limited production numbers; that's the combo for the high bids.
Still there were exceptions to this, like above; crazy bids of $102,000 for a 56 T-bird?
