Well, it's Barrett-Jackson time again

[66GT350]

The annual ego fest is on in Phoenix, Speed always covers it very well. Always fun to watch, my buddies and I refer to it as the more money than brains club. Amazing what can happen when you get a bunch of half hammered guys with a lotta money (and apparently not a lot of car knowledge) in the same tent. My fave so far this year is the 70 Camaro Z28 with a 302 that was very "collectable" because it had the "ultra-rare" 4 wheel disk brake set-up, apparently a steal at $109K :rollseyes .

Wonder of we'll see another "Eleanor" clone going for $190K like we did last year. If you recall that one, it was some guy with a tits-on-a-stick blond on his arm who kept him bidding. What was really funny is the next car up was an aluminum CSX4000 continuation 427 Shelby Cobra that went for $90K, that was the bargain.

it was a 69 z/28 and that guy paid 112 for it AND 100 for a 54 vette:shrug: today a 70 hemi charger went for 157000 and a 70 boss 429 mustang for 117500. my dad had one of those and sold it for like 1200 bucks in 1974!! what a turd! A rodded 55 nomad just went for 130000. what a bunch of rich ****ers!!!

 

[66GT350]

Yeah, bud, it's on now. Primo Boss '9 in Calypso Corral just went under the hammer for $117K, if it's the car I think it is, it sold in OKC less than a month ago for about $80K.

 

[freakshow12]

was it a thourobred resto? I would like to find a 70 for like 65k do you know of any? a "fixer upper" if you will. I know a guy in montana who has a 19000 original mile 69 boss 9 in white. he hauled it all the way up to saskatchewan on an open trailer behind a 79 ford. then he fired it up and did a smokeshow. its all original but the original batterey and tires were left at home. it had the polyglas tire though. he has like 20 some cars inc. a REAL 66 cobra, a thunderbolt, a galaxie with a cammer many more.

 

[66GT350]

Yeah, Freak, no doubt that was a 100 point car, if it's the same one I know. I think you could find a 70 Boss '9 in the $60-70K range that would be a very nice one, indeed, probably a very nice #1 driver. Funny, how cheap the Boss '2's are going for, especially the 69's. They made fewer than half the number of 69 Boss 302's to Shelbys, in the low $30's they're almost a bargain.

 

[freakshow12]

yeah I know the 302's are nice cars too. a buddy in the mustang club got a grabber yellow 70 with spoilers/shaker/slats for around 35 last year from colarado. he sold a really rare 100 point yellow GT500KR auto.

 

[freakshow12]

UNFREAKINREAL!!! a 55 bel air sport coupe resto mod just sold for 210,000 WTF :shrug:

 

[freakshow12]

400,000 for a lincoln zypher street rod!! I gotta get a better job:bowdown:

 

[freakshow12]

sheesh..a dude just paid 685,000 for all 4 calloway vettes at auction including the 254mph sledgehammer! maybe these guys know the escort service guy from that other thread.

 

[95rcobra]

Watched all of the auction so far. short while ago they sold a 67 shelby gt-500 for $230,000. there are alot people there with some serious cash. I gotta hit the damn lottery. the guy who got those 4 callaway's for $685,000 was cool. its nice to have enough cash where you can just bid higher until its yours. God Bless America.

Was today the day that the 03 Cobra was going up for sale, did anyone happen to see what that went for?

 

[99cobrablack]

Some of that stuff just goes for stupid prices. Did anyone see the bathtub Porsche with the wrong motor, hub-caps, ect. ect. go for I think 90k??
