Barret Jackson nonsense

comparing distributors and
I was watching an episode tonight of the Barret Jackson auction. Several cars sold for pretty big numbers and then a 69.5 super bee sells for 200k and the guys are freaking out and talking smack about how it is no frills but has a full console and how that is such a contradiction :huh: A white vette vert sells next for 100k and the guys still talk shit about the super bee and how it is crazy that the super bee sold for 200k but the "open air" "fuelie" only sold for 100k. What dicks!! [smilie=l: good night for mopar deals as a viper powered challenger sold for 65k :bravo: I bet the guy who built that was pissed :D
 
Yeah I just watched that too. Man that Chally was NNNIIIICCCCEEEEEEE!!!!! Total sleeper. Looked like a regular stock 71 Chally save for bling rims, but pop the hood and OH YEAH!! :giggedy:
Drooled a bit over the Bee too :p

Yeah I must admit to sporting some major wood over that Challenger as well :shifty: I love the stripe schemes of the 70 Challenger but ever since I tried to buy that red/white 71 challenger vert in high school I have always been partial to 71's. :Fresh Meds:
 
I try not to watch that anymore. Between the idiot announcers who know nothing about any car that comes across and the guys in the audience who are buying the cars for status symbols, it just isn't entertaining. A few years ago when I first started watching it when Cuda convertibles sold for "big money" at over $100,000, I didn't mind it but now I don't care to watch it.
 
That happened last spring, go lurk the A12 forum for some eye openers. A few bits about that particular bee are NOM and it's the one you may have seen pictures of that was burned beyond recognition. The black one that's in a recent HMM (GREAT mag btw) is up for sale at 300k, if it has'nt sold already.
Other untold truths about B-J is a LOT of cars are 'bought' the owners to keep from selling at less than they feel it's worth, they still have to pay the fees though. Quite a few are trailered to the auction the next week to be flipped yet again. And prolly the worst of it is some end up on ebay because the buyer didn't know what he was getting into and got burned hard.
B-J, the all-star wrestling of the car world.
Oh yeah, the A12 guys only tolerate me because I have one, not because I'm "one" of them.:Fresh Meds::dance:[smilie=J::giggedy::jagoff:

i've come to the conclusion that the buyers just want to see who's got the biggest dick.

UHHH, I think you mean smallest...cuz if they had the bigguns they'd build it.:bwuhaha: :bwuhaha:
 
Half the buyers are drunk off their asses anyway. I remember seeing a guy STAGGERING around with yet another Johnny Black in his hand bidding a car up to 7 figures! It was insane!

well guys i only know of ONE ORIGINAL 69.5 BEE WITH RED INTERIOR AND TAIL STRIPE THE CAR WAS LAST IN PLANO TEXAS AND IS NOW IN GOOD HANDS IN ST LOUIS YEP WITH NOM had half quarters stuck on it and also all new floorpans along with trunk i dont know if its for sale though
 
Hey I'll have some fun..........When the Daytona's done I'll take it there and enter to sell......drive it there do a burnout on the way to the auction stand and see just how the auctioneer trys to explain a 68 daytona.....(not cloned...how can you clone a car that never existed????)
 
I know I'll never buy a BJ car, but I would never sell one there even if it were so called BJ material. You might get a higher sale figure there than in a private sale, but you know the IRS will get their pound of flesh, and your residual will probably be less.
