Barrett-Jackson is upon us , anybody watching ?

Be honest , most of us can't resist a peek , at least . I usually watch for the first 2 days or so , before the drunk millionaires take over with 200k bids for Volkswagon mini-buses and such   biggrinbiggrin .  I also try to avoid the sea of Camaros , Chevelles and Mustangs and settle on the more interesting stuff .

I always watch it   (over and over)    Watching is the closest, I will "Ever get" to going to  Arizona....    I love the drama    although the Charity cars are getting very boring

i agree about the first two days. that's where you will see the cars that the average enthusiast could afford. to me, the rest of it is just an extravaganza for high rollers.

I also agree on the first couple of days being the average guy cars. I still get a kick out of the people spending "dumb ass" money on cars. Often wonder if and when those people have an "Oh $hit" moment.

I don't really watch it religiously but I do watch it.
Like 427CARL said, the charity stuff can get boring. It's great that they do it but I don't find most of the charity cars interesting and they really drag that stuff out.
I do like to see some of the different cars and see what they go for.
Overall I think these high profile auctions might be good for the hobby because they might get new people interested in buying or restoring a car. Most of us have at least one car that we're going to want to sell someday. Hopefully when that day comes, there will be people out there that want to buy them.

One bad thing about these auctions is the guys that are selling a piece of rusted out junk saying, one of these just sold at Barrett Jackson for $100,000   Yeah, except it was a perfectly restored convertible with a big block,, yours is a rusted out four door with a slant six. LOL

We have been there 3 times. We had to cancel this year as the house needs some attention this summer. This Saturday night at the Pavilions cruise night will be amazing, many cars in from out of town. We spend very little time watching the auction but walking the fair grounds is the main attraction IMHO. Seeing it on T V is just not interesting after being there. We hope to be back next year.

B-J actually started last Saturday, those were the bargain days. Last night and next Saturday are Pratte days, that is why the prices were so high. Regardless, there were some nice pieces roll over the stage last night.

Some good deals today, beyond my bank account, but nice stuff going for cheaper than you could build.

If you go in Barrett-Jackson website and sign up, all they want is your e-mail address and a password. They will send you a instant e-mail confirming you and you go back into the website and log in. Then go into docket and select all days or any day and the prices will show up with pictures of the listings. It may ask you to sign in again but it is pretty straight forward.

Been watching it on and off on livestream.com
No comercials-no missing the cars you want to see and no reporters that think they know everything(except Steve M,-he is ok)-they showed all the memorabilia auctions this morning.
Keep on Cruising!

I'm waiting for the 69 Boss 429 but it won't make the TV show which is over at 8.....I'll have to watch on the live streaming which has actually been working good today .

Can't believe how much money they took in so far today ....could finance a small country !

I'm with Bell, I'm a loser, LOL. They didn't switch us over to follow the coverage.
I did think they would, but here I am watching on the net live feed.

A lot of Vetts and Mustangs Gets boring after awhile. Loved the big bus, Art Deco at its best. The Pontiac concept car was really cool. I have been watching and the rods seem to be doing well. The guy who is selling his collection seems to be refusing to remove the reserve or is loosing money on quite a few sales. Its almost like watching Rollings loose on Fast and Loud. I wonder how many more of these collections and big hoards can come for sale before we reach a saturation point. I have already seen what happens when this happens to Hockey card collecting . Ed

Well they better sell them soon because the next generations probably won't be buying them . The vast majority of buyers that I saw were grey hairs and no hairs .

I had to turn off the sound ....Steve Smith , grovelling for more money 2 or 3 times on every car was too much for me .

Hey TeeJay I resemble that remark. I have both gray hair and no hair and the dream, the only difference is in the wallet. Ed

$136 million not counting the dozen reserves that didn't sell. The US economy seems to be on the rebound. Looks like Pratt might have to look at some of those reserves and come back again next year.

I watched a bit Saturday evening and again Sunday. I actually was surprised to see some 10K cars roll through on Sunday. We knew Saturday was going to be all of the high end cars. Not bad over all IMO

It was sad to watch the Two Lane Blacktop car get sold by Walt Bailey after all he has done to bring it to it's present shape. But I have found out that the new owner lives in NE Ohio about 40 min. from me. He isn't a typical big dollar car collector. He also owns the original "Hot Rod Lincoln" that the song was written about. He drives and takes the Lincoln to anumber of shows and helps promote fund raisers with it. He specifically went to by the TLB 55 for the same purpose. Glad to know it won't sit in a collection like a trophy but will be out in the public for real car people to enjoy.
