CAR-GASM!! (Barrett Jackson Auction)

OK, so I am lucky enough to live in Scottsdale, AZ, where the Barrett Jackson auction is currently running (see Speed Network for day by day). I went with my father on Family day, and took a bunch of pictures. 274 To be exact. If anyone is interested, here is the link to the OPhoto gallery. You do NOT have to join OPhoto to view these pics. Some of these cars were out of this world!

In case you notice the finish on the candy apple red 70's Corvette, it has 24! coats of clear on it (per the owner). Also the gold corvette Stingray "Field of Dreams" will be auctioned on Saturday 1-21 in the evening, and should fetch just under one million dollars.

Mods, if there is a better place for this thread, please move as appropriate.

I think maybe car talk would be good,........then ppl could actually talk about it because I dont think that many ppl come in here,.....could be wrong.

I AM PUMPED FOR THE B-J AUCTION. I got addicted last month when they were playing past ones on tv or whatever it was. I am gonig to be watching a lot of this one,...........STARTS TODAY.

That 28 pickup hot rod that just sold for 175K is so far the best buy of the show. I've seen the car many times in person, it is one of the most detailed and stunning cars i've ever seen. And cost almost 1.5 million to build.


Unfucking believable

Ya I cant believe what some of the cars go for at that auction. I like watching it on tv though. My mom gets mad because my dad and I just sit there watching it all day ahahahaha.

Today they had some huge sellers. I am wondering what I missed when I went out for dinner etc,......now I am az missing stuff (by this I mean the replay they always put on).
