As expected, Barrett Jackson Vegas prices weak
 

Aside from a few examples, I am seeing some well documented (supposedly) and nice originals and mild customs go for much lower prices at the Vegas show these past 2 days. I think it is a sign of things to come at Scottsdale, which needs even more buyers to bid up the much larger inventory there.

some examples I saw:

67 Hemi Coronet (not original block but date code correct motor) went for $54k today. A clone of this car would sniff $100k in recent years!

an orig 64 GTO with 389 tripower and 60k orig miles went for $28k.

documented #s matching 69 Z28 for $56k. These were fetching $80-90k last couple years.

Now, a few pro-touring (resto-mods as BJ announcers like to say) cars surprisingly well I thought. A couple 69 Camaros for $83k and $88k. And a nothing special 383 powered 72 Chevelle hit $60k.

So, it looks like the collector/original car niche is getting hit harder than the custom/pro-touring niche to me....

Good time to be a buyer there I say!

I agree. This is a great time to be a buyer. I was shocked to see two Original Boss 302 Mustangs sell for cheap as well. I think one of them was under 30K.....

Lot # 507 was my camaro I had a few years ago. I beleive it was in 04 I built it . Sold it then for 50k . Seems like it did well.

We do BJ every year and the trend has been going more towords the restro mod style cars. Good for all of us.

The Vegas show will be soft as its new so it will not draw the kind of money Scottsdale will. I think Scottsdale will be off but BJ in Vegas was a bad mistake for them. They are going to hurt themselves by having to many shows. That will drive the prices down good for buyers bad for builders.

I bet he still makes millions in Vegas because for BJ its a win win he gets paid no matter what but the more the cars go for the more he makes.

having it so close to SEMA seems kinda stupid. If hes gonna do it there at least schedule it for a time where its gonna be the only "big" automotive thing going on.

I'll bet alot of guys who bought cars in Vegas will be sellers at Scottsdale this year or next.

That may be a very good strategy, albeit risky, based on the prices I have seen these past 2 days for collector/original type cars..

So what's the story with the Green 69 RS/Z28? It had what looked to be a 67-68 rear spoiler on it as it was much narrower than the width of the quarters. I had to show the wife...got to love TiVo!! :lol:

Best deal in Vegas! :unibrow:

I didn't see that one. Or don't remember it. How much did it sell for?

Yep, I'm half way thru watching the Saturday cars and all the customs/pro-touring cars are doing MUCH better than the classics and collector/originals.

Your in luck! It's still available...$30k and it's yours.:thumbsup:

Sorry Curtis, I already have a money pit of my own and it's not even drivable!

Keep the faith brother....it will be awesome when it's done. :yes:

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

Here it is, you can kinda see in the pics what I'm talking about. It sold for $125k

Oh yeah, I did see that one later. I have been behind watching it on DVR too. Apparently that RS and Z28 emblem combo on the grille is pretty damn rare. They said the American Camaro Assoc even docked him points for that cuz they didnt believe it was original. But he had a pic of it driving off the dealership lot that way..... hmmm.

The customs and pro-touring cars are really doing well today tho.

Yeah in general I think the custom cars have done better than the restored cars the past couple years and it's really showing once again! Now the HEMI cars and such will always pull the BIG money!

Yeah a 70 Hemi Cuda just pulled 170k. Of course Craig Jackson is shouting that it's a 200k+ car (like he does with every car that goes across....)

Curtis, your car would have done $40K there.

Early built '69's came with left over '68 spoilers.

Just watching it on my DVR also. I have got to win $250k somehow :rolleyes: Lots of cars I would love at fair prices.

Sold last year for 150+ and then resold this year for 80 minus fees ouch.

I was thinking that Mark...but wasn't sure. Thanks!!

Are today's prices weak or where the prices a couple years ago stupid?

that was a great buy!

a little of both I say.

Had breakfast at Mandalay Bay this morning with a few guys that attended B.J. The commented that prices seemed down from the last Scottsdale show, which they where at.

Valet parking had some nice older cars for a change. The parking attendants sure had big smiles when I pulled up in my 67. Seems they like the old muscle cars quite a bit.
