If 1240 brought what it did , then 95% of the cars at streetrod nats are sitting on a goldmine .

1014 west coast customs , the only reason it sold was because of the movie

1244.2 boyd built car ! should have been 2x what it sold for

1328.1 and 1033 both reason not to drink the bong water !

Cone killer doesn't understand the auction process.

It's a win some lose some way to sell. You will never be able to figure out why some sell for more or some less.

I will tell you that if you are well connected. There is lots of info on some of the supposed "real deal" cars.... And you won't see the real deal big money buyers bidding on that stuff!!

The prices depend on the time. The day. And whether there's more than one person willing to bid.

Check out lot 1342. I can bet these guys are stoked. According to their sales ad they more then doubled there 5 year old money. There are a handful of cars that brought real good money.

Kenny and I were discussing this fact, But there is no real direction on what was popular and what was not except quality. But some quality cars got skipped or went cheap.

Now see, lot# 1342 is what I would expect a car with that kind of work done to it to sell for. But I would be quite pissed if I was selling one of those quality cars that went cheap. If I were selling something of that caliber I think I would stick to a reserve auction.


I almost crapped when I looked at what the 50 Merc sold for 300K

I looked at this car on EBAY for the last 4 months. The guy had it listed for
80K I tried to get my wife interested but it was a no go!!!
You can say it was a huge win for the lister of the car he made an 200k over what he was going to sell it for on ebay.

Then http://www.barrett-jackson.com/appli...&aid=403&pop=1 went for 44,000. look who the builders were !!!!

If you can build me a car like this for 35K please call me

&

http://www.barrett-jackson.com/appli...&aid=403&pop=1 for 51K
Street rodder 2010 top 100 pick.


looks like Barrett Jackson might be a good place to get a Low & Slow led sled

I agree with the bewilderment over some prices. the 80's pontiac firebird for 82k? (i don't care if sally field got wet on the seat) lot #1302 or a 87 gnx for $77,000? i know they only made 550, but compared to the 1962 falcon lot#1281 for the same money????

lots #1246, 1315, and 1255.2 (silver and a stick easy 50k more!!) were absolute steals!!

why, why? would anyone pay 220k for brett michael's camaro???? God help us!

we seem to have car fatigue after the g-force cuda and trepanier's 2.3 million ford first love. That was 4 years ago at autorama. will 2011 have anything close??

Its not the economy at this level. The rich have gotten infinitely richer from the meltdown/rebound. The top1% pull in 20% of all income. The Nasdaq is back to its 2007 high and even the Dow is back to 12,000.

You don't even hear much about foose these days. It just seems no one with the means is stoked to comission a million+ car

Anyone know of any info on the champagne 32 ford that went for 315k. Its quite a car, but 315k?

It was for charity, The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.



:lol:

It was an AMBR contender. It is a really nice piece. Really nice

How about a Manny, Mo and Jack Special? There were a boat load of cars that looked like they went to Pep Boys and filled a shopping cart with every gaudy chrome accessory in stock and brought in "good" money for what they were. I would say they all made a profit compared to those that should have brought the same money.
