The guy who dropped half a mil on the "first production" TBird (serial number 005) is going to be upset when 004 (which was found back in the 70s) parks next to him at a show.

I had a goofy observation. What was with all of the people wearing sunglasses in the place tonight? The president of Barrett Jackson guy, the lady that was the owner of the 0005 1955 T-Bird, Richard Petty, others?

Was that old 80s song, I wear My Sunglasses at Night paying in the background?

Random thoughts. Seems like custom is in,stock is out. Sadly there really haven't been a whole lot of pedigree cars rolling across. It's to be expected I guess the pro's are keeping their good china for a better economy. That 89 Milford LT5 car Charlie was bidding on was my fave of the night,he was smart to take a pass it was getting way overvalued.

The electricity wasn't there like in years past. You can't manufacture it-it's either there or it's not and from what i've seen it wasn't.

CJ looks emotionless. I'm tired of the sunglass Steve show with his condescending hold and pump diatribe(well really it was old three years ago)the money is either there or it's not. When that CVC Eleanor clone with A/T pulled 220k with vig,I turned the TV off.

Looking fwd to some good football tomorrow!

Interesting on the 004 car:

"My father used to own p5fh100004 thunderbird. We were all just watching the auction and barrett jacksons careful choices of words used to describe the first "production" thunderbird. He found 00004 in 1972. If you just saw the auction, they showed all the documentation which was done pre 1972. Not having known otherwise, you would think that the earliest t-bird just sold. I wonder if the new owner knows of 00004. My father still has the old owners cards and serial number traceings of the 00004 car."

Correct, while at the same time contradictory. Stock isn't "out", and many of the "pedigree" cars aren't there at B-J. Not a good time for the "real" cars to go no-reserve.

The discovery of TBird 0004 was documented in the Early Bird (the monthly mag of the CTCI); I've still got the issue somewhere. I think it was white with a period custom interior at the time it was discovered. 0004 made the auto show rounds and supposedly was used in several advertisements in late '54.

0005 looked to be a top notch restoration, but (IMHO) it's tough to justify the premium price given the known facts.

Is that really your design

I jacked that pic off of Team Camaro some time back....I wish I had a few T'S like that...would be cool to wear around at the cruise in's...maybe start a fight or two..

Mike

P.S. We do like to poke fun at those Chevy's with the stupid sticker

But I have found it is a nice Red Flag, along with the upside down cowl seal, when looking at these car's. Along with those two items mentioned you will usually find many more problems with a given car.
OK I am done

Richard Petty has something wrong with his eyes where the light is bad for them.

I cant believe that a 69 Hemi Road Runner went for 61K. Unbelievable.
