Seems like some great deals to be had this year, I just saw a GM collection Corvette go for 40k and another one for 32. Doesn't seem like too bad of a deal to me.

 

i've seen a few episodes, i really enjoy when they have cheaper cars on too, i think i saw an old 911 go for under 15k on the episode i watched last night. it wasn't mint, but more aimed as a drivers car i think

 

an 89 lotus esprit went for 11k.

i think some of the gm collection are salvage vehicles of some sort. whether they put on push bar or some other reasons that really don't make sense.

 

even the wife likes watching

 

I'm watching it on TV right now, only a few miles away from the actual auction.

 

you planning on going to on some cars this week?

 

I thought about it, but every year I end up not going because I know I can't afford anything. I guess it would be cool to see them in person, but it's just as easy to watch it on TV and not have to pay for a ticket or fight the crowds.

 

im definitely watching it...

and supertrooper you shoulda went to the first days this year which is actually yesterday and today, maybe tomorrow idk...but b/c of the economy, they are having "cheaper" cars.

yesterday they had random stuff like the 1,000,000th saturn that i think sold for like 5000 lol. maybe you coulda went home with something interesting.

i love Barrett-Jackson tho, great TV, great cars, and saturday should be some great moments

 

I wouldn't even be able to afford the 1,000,000th Saturn, lol. Saving for a non-mobile thing right now.

 

yeah i got you man, im just saying that if any of us normal people were ever gonna go to barrett-jackson for cheap speed, luxury, or rarity, this woulda been the year...

but hey maybe one day we'll be there, who knows.

 

i hate how that one brunette lady screamer-for-the-bidders (w/e they're called) thinks shes hot shit and flirts with all the guys to make them bid more...its supposed to be all business there, no BS...

 

I saw some of it last night and was VERY impressed with the 1994 Chevy Impalla SS with a FACTORY 6MT. One of one made. Went for $25k

 

I went.

I took a ton of pics, will post when I get back to town.

I was on TV, watch the entire thing, and you will have seen me...

 

I spied teh stogez

 

If you didn't have a sign that says Acurazine rules, nobody cares.

 

no shit. Where's the fucking AZine sign waving?

 

pratt?? henrick? which one are you?

i usually watch a few hours a night.

i didn't see any ninjas either.....:scratchhead:

 

want pics now!!!

 

'93 ZR-1 + '09 ZR-1 = $175,000

 

Ya that was a friggin steal and a half.

 

every year the wife and I record and watch the whole weeks events.......I was suppose to go this year but things fell through

 

that green 1969 Camaro ZL-1 COPO was one of the first cars that had me on the edge of my seat screaming at the TV because if you guys saw it, no one seemed very interested in it.

it was a rare factory built car for drag racing...1 of 50 (not all still remain too!!) and they were secretly made back in the day and they were sold through the "backdoor" if you know what i mean. nothing like that will ever be had for a long ass time!!

sold for $290,000 i think...now that is a steal!!!

 

^Reggie Jackson's ZL-1? Yeah that was a huuuuge

Car is easily worth half a million, not tonight I guess. Like the announcers noted, "it's said to be the first camaro to fetch 1 million."

 

Are we supposed to be looking for a 2ft tall baby with an abnormally large head, a spray on tan and a tab?

 

^lmao!!

probably the economy?? you can kinda feel it with some cars like the rare Camaro we just mentioned above.

anyone having trouble with the fantasy bidding? i've been texting and only have 60 pts (1st place is like 360pts). i suck at this...its really hard to guess what cars will sell for.

 

Fuck that made me laugh....

 

watching... prices are wayyy lower than they should be....

cuda custom from WCC for charity i though would get more

 

Looks like Rick Hendrick is taking advantage and snagging up everything he can get...

 

Yea they're not way higher than they should be.

 

 

I wonder how many of these cars will get flipped this year or next when the economy recovers for stupid money.

 

OK. my pics are up. Despite the tricky lighting, it seems like all of the appear a bit underexposed on Flickr... I may adjust them all accordingly and re-upload...

Anyway, here they are (qty. 155)
