I thought the orange car would have brought a lot more money. After seeing it only bring 85K I am glad I didn't risk bringing mine. I would have to look again at that orange Camaro but I don't think it has a back seat at all. Which may or may not ever be used but if it doesn't have one well then your just SOL if you want to ride more than 2 people in the car. I think sometimes that hurts the sale a lot.

That is an excellent point I hadn't even thought about. We've all heard and cast stereotypes about guys buying muscle cars to relive the glory days or because they wished they'd had one in high school, well, I if that's the case what good is a Camaro without a back seat?

You guys are reading way.way...too much into this. You have to be at Barrett-Jackson to understand it. It is a huge party where people spend money. 99% of them have no idea there is no backseat because they have been no closer to the car than where they are sitting. A black Cadillac with it's roof cut off sold for I think 160K and the guy was hoping to get 40K. I'm sure alot of cars are just bought because from the seats in the audience it looks great.
