0 Kory 14 Report post Posted January 21, 2007 Im sorry those prices where Stupid! The hummer I somewhat understand with the charity thing. But the two concept for a mill a piece. And of coarse my favorite 1966 ac shelby cobra original 427 super charged for 5 million. Come on lets keep things realistic. And Reggie Jacksons 69 ZL-1 Camaro for 850k.

0 seymore 90 Report post Posted January 21, 2007 Yes i agree the prices were wayyy out there but i bet you Barrett&Jackson were happy seeing how much $$ they gonna get from their fees.That was nice of him to wave his fees on the hummer. Did you see the 07 mustang"70K in think" #1 off the line and they get the option to buy #2 also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Barrett gets 10 % over the top bid. They do not really pay any substantial rentals for Westworld, which is their venue. They are very profitable. I grew up around the corner from Russ Jackson, before he was incredibly wealthy, and retired. He started with a carwash and collected old '50's era cadillacs. He also had a detuned indy car that he used to drive around the block. It was really cool to a ten year old. Probably be cool to a 46 year old, too. The funny thing is the front of his house always seemed to be a mess. Landscaping in disarray, and overgrown. Just an interesting sidelight, now, back to your regular thread...

0 R L S 14 Report post Posted January 22, 2007 We used to go to the Barrett Jackson Auto auction when I was younger through my dads work, purley as spectators of course. Lots of fun and awesome cars!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 John T 744 Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Those people pay those prices because they..can. It's just like the ones who buy paintings for millions..because they can. Is it worth it?? I guess if you have a ton of money to burn then it probably is. The problem would be a guy like me who if I had all that money to buy those cars I'd drive them which would bring down there value considerably. That 67 vette is a beaut!! The 63-67 I think it was that had that style shape I always thought was the best vette by far. The 63 vette with the split rear window was a good collector car. If I had the dough I would buy a 63-67 vette but it would have to be a convertible. Another beautiful car from those days is the Shelby Cobra Roadsters. They could have been had back new back then for about $5000 which was expensive but today if you had an original it would be worth hundred of thousands..Even the roadster kit cars are expensive and there nice to. Here's a picture of one http://images.webkrafters.com/trinity/27800/65cobra27812-4.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
