Thanks, I did alright on it. I am happy with the overall experience. I have had the car for lots of years and was ready to move on. Some of the "bottom feeders" were a little much at times. They kept telling me the car was worth half what it went for (go build one then)
The guys that got the 70 were talking to me earlier and were all into it. I saw them get the 70 and a 33 ford as well. I talked to sooo many people and had a guy meet me in the staging area as Rick D. from Fox was interviewing me swear that he was buying the car and had his "mechanic" go over the car. In the end the guy who won looked at it for 10 min. asked a couple questions then went and sat down. Now onto finishing the Chevelle.

Funny too, FOX took video of the car for the intro to the show. I got to the show at about 9:00 this morning and the guys from Fox were filming it and asking if they could close the hood, open doors etc. When the car was in the lanes this evening Rick D. from Fox had paper work about the car in hand and interviewed me about the car, then came back 15 min later apologizing that it wasn't going to be on TV.... oh well. My father in law was in passenger seat while going on stage and had a blast.

It's a shame that the coverage still sucks. Tons of the same commercials, social garage, bs interviews, April Rose, etc. Maybe 1 and 10 cars get on tv? I would think people are watching to see the cars... :hitaxeonthehead:

So far, pricing seems about average overall to me...

Congrats on the sale... Glad it worked out well for you.

@tomjensen100: Wow, somebody got a good deal on this restored '60 Pontiac, just $18k at #barrettjackson. http://t.co/tChWaUGT1T

The coverage is always so smoozy and cheesy. Just show the cars and the auctioneer and be done with it.

GregWeld 01-16-2014 02:10 PM

Skeep....



So is it really a good deal --- if nobody wants something to bid on it... out of the 1000's of folks there with bidder passes??


My guess is --- it sold for exactly what it was worth....

SSLance 01-16-2014 02:26 PM

I've always heard things referred to as a "function of zeros"

I've enjoyed following along the happenings at BJ this year on twitter, But it hasn't been perfect...

Why does one car sell for huge $ "Because 2 guys wanted it." Craig Jackson told me that years ago. #barrettjackson







tom jensen ‏@tomjensen100 12m
CORRECTION: Error in electronic results. 2012 Camaro sold for $45,000 NOT $450,000. Sorry for the false alarm, folks.


tom jensen ‏@tomjensen100 12m
@BuckleyPhotos @SPEED — It's an error in the online results. actual hammer price was $45,000

Paul Buckley ‏@BuckleyPhotos 12m
@tomjensen100 @SPEED Hey what's a zero here or there?
