did any one @ BJ take a good look @ the 1993 camaro zl1?

Spent a good amount of time around the car. It was a 572 powered 5 speed Tremek car. Converted to the modern front end from 98-02. It went for $140k (ish) and sounded brute nasty. Went to a collection of about 8 ish cars bought here at Barrett.

I thought a very nice buy was $60k for a '69 z28 26k original miles, every stitch of paper, original motor/owner car. fathom/green/white stripe. Did not look like originla paint but for a Z with original tires, I was impressed with the car!

small block '67 Corvettes brought very strong money. My friend's '67 300hp Auto, blue/blue convert with pb, ps, a/c, etc brought $90k, a Bloomington Gold '67 Vette 300hp black/red auto brought $70k and a '67 convert red/white L79/M21 brought $100k with no awards. Very, very nice paperwork however!

All in all there were some quality cars but like every other BJ there were may fakes, restamps, wrong tags ect. There is a '66 390 black/red a/c Vette for sale in the BJ tent (not an auction car) with fake tags- [horrible rivets] with a restamp motor and a one piece nose is for sale at $125,000.

Prices seem educated however there were a few cars that we couldn't believe sold at prices. Like the GM Monte Carlos that brought the upwards of $50k a piece. GM did have some nice buys like a '08 Yukon XL with 10 miles on it for $20k. Brand new, not a scrap title.

All in all, nothing beats this show. It is a site to see.

Quick word of warning. There's a black '61 Impala going through today, LOT# 1231. The car started life as a 283, Powerglide, not an SS.

Exactly, Far to many fake cars/paperwork going thru this comical BJ auction. It may be fun to watch but with VW buses bringing $55k plus this show is and remains to be a joke.

Am I to assume this is the black Camaro that Moss built, and raced the Colletti Mustang? If so, that is a pretty cool car...maybe not $140k cool, but still cool!

I think there is a slightly different make up of buyers. Many are getting away from the number's matching game and are buying cars they want. Period, for what ever reason. They're not idiots or inept they just have the dough to buy what they want. Car's that look cool and haul ass and they're willing to pay a decent price for "what they want".

For example:

115K Custom 70 Challenger
110K Hemi-Cuda Clone
165K SS Motorsports 69 Camaro
115k Blown 70 Road Runner

Those are all strong prices if you ask me. I think it's good thing

What the heck was the deal with that 67 Barracuda that sold for $200k??? I caught the last second and only saw the rear of the car as they rolled it out.
