And what's with that one that went for $220K today. An RS Z/28 going for over $200K....like seriously?

Not even a 1100837 for that money.

It was not even an RS Z28. It also had standard interior. Maybe it was the compact spare tire?

I think two guys going at it and both had too much to drink. The seller won the lottery and so did Barrett Jackson.

I was laughing at some of the prices!
Can't believe the insanity!
$300K for a 2021 Corvette?
Wish I had this kind of IDGAF money!
Super Saturday should be entertaining!

There was more than 1 69 Z that brought really good money this year. The blue one brought $187k, and another orange one brought $159k. There were a few others that weren't perfect and still didn't seem to have a problem squeaking over the 6 figure mark.

Honestly it's kind of what I was expecting on 69's since they already had a couple of 67-68 Z's that were around the $150k mark, and just a few weeks earlier Mecum got over 6 figures for a 70 Z.

I know there are site members who sell a fair amount of cars in this manner. I have no idea how they tolerate it!

I watched this several times while walking around Barrett Jackson earlier this week. I was amazed at the amount of people that would just walk up to a car, open the door, get in, sit down, and just start fiddling with stuff. Many of which weren't wearing a bidding pass. One woman sat down in a car, all giddy and smiling, wanted her picture taken, was messing around with stuff on the dash.

I just looked at my dad and shook my head. While I admire someone's enthusiasm for a classic car, I was always taught to never touch someone else's property without permission, even if it was for sale and I wanted to buy it.

I don't know how so many people were getting away with it, when my father got chastised for just touching a piece of paper that was on one of the mini bikes he was interested in. Couldn't read the darn thing taped to the front forks because the front wheel was turned sideways. No sooner did he turn the paper to read it, never touching the bike, security came running up and acted like he was slapping someone else's child. Completely unnecessary.

Bill just told me the Carolina Blue 69 Z/28 just hammered for $265k before buyer fee.

The last buick grand national produced went for $500K

I was watching that, pretty cool!!

The 69 GTO with the LT4 swapped in just after that did $400k.

Things are heating up.

This is one of the reasons I liked selling my vehicles on BAT. Having lots of people around my car would have my OCD red lining!!
