Default The best deal at Barrett Jackson this year was?

This was, in my opinion, the BEST deal at BJ this year.. When first built the owner had $250k into this car. Recently the engine was messed with and the fuel injected HEMI was made to run perfect. He also redid the interion and now it's top shelf. There's a $9,000 Heits chromed out IRS rear suspension, a very expension paddle shifted Bowler transmission and the mentioned fuel-injected HEMI. Three piece Kinesis wheels, big brakes, custom CF spoilers that I heard cost $20k to have made. Lots of $$$ in custom emblems..

It wouldn't start when it went over the block and I think that killed it since people went "What's wrong with it!!!"

Later one of the BJ employees told us that he drove the car and it was by far one of the nicest, most fun, cars he had driven at the event. That dead batter cost the owner a LOT of money.

But it was a great day for the car's new owner, Yancy... he scored a $300k car for $51k ($56k with the fees).

Now one could argue that the guy who bought Bob's car got a better deal.. but if you think about it that guy paid about .60 cents on the dollar. Yancy got the Dart for about .20 cents on the dollar! Beat that!

And here is the new owner who's still smiling.. even though his wife is going "WTF is a Dart!?!" lol
