Anyone else watching Barret-Jackson?
 

Those vettes sure are something else! I think the most interesting thing I've seen on the docket though is a 2009 Zr-1.

Link to what the 09's stats are.

That sure is a spiffy ride.

I can't watch Barrett Jackson any more. It is too painful. I could have been a millionaire if I had just kept all my old toys.....

I like watching it just to see what crazy stuff they get.

A 63 corvette concept just sold for 1.6M. I wish I had a paycheck big enough to afford those. Ah well, one day I hope. lol

I just looked through the car list there only seems to be a handful of C3 on there

RE: Anyone else watching Barret-Jackson?
 

Yes I watched some of it, what did dv8 say, "painful", to say the least. I owned a few of those cars over the years. I bought them used and enjoyed them, my cars were never in mint condition but I had my fun with them. So many of those buyers are employers and made there money because we all worked hard for them and when it comes time for a raise they cry and say business is slow so heres a .50 increase in your pay. I think Jay Leno said it best "Welcome to the more money than brains club" End of rant, PG.

Heh, I got to watch a 76 vette sell for 32,500. I guess that at least made me feel a bit better since I picked mine up for about 12.

Anyone else think the 2009 vette looks a bit too much like an old mustang gt500?

i was hinking that that 2009 looked more like the viper than anything

Anytime you want to feel like you got a bargin just pick up a copy of Corvette and Chevy trader, look at your year and look at the prices they are asking. No matter what we paid for our cars or how much we've spent on them, someone is asking twice as much. When you gather a crowd when you get gas, or when your at a light and someone gives you a thumbs up, to me it's worth it,. PG.

haha that is soo true...i got such a deal on my car b/c some guy put it up on ebay b/c he need the moeny and his wife wanted him to sell it

RE: Anyone else watching Barret-Jackson?
 

I've already got more into the "Starship" than I could ever get out of it in a sale. I got it for me though, not to sell, can't sell, won't sell. I'd just hav'ta start all over. [&o]

If I still had just 2 of my ol' rides, I could sell them and retire, very comfortably. ;)Who knew, who knew? :eek:

'70 440 six-pak Road Runner ( took 5 deer to kill 'er )
'70 SS 454 "Heavy Chevy" Chevelle (victom of divorce )

RE: Anyone else watching Barret-Jackson?
 

Doh! That's a bummer. I fully agree though. I'll never sell my vette. I've put too much work into her and it's just too much fun to drive. On a side note. I just checked out the florida special plates and one of them is a save our seas thing and has a picture of a shark on it. =)

RE: Anyone else watching Barret-Jackson?
 

I wish someone or org'n with credibility would investigate B-J as I've heard stories that some of those outrageous prices are really setups. [:o]

Anybody else hear anything?

RE: Anyone else watching Barret-Jackson?
 

I enjoyed watching the auction and I think the new zr1 looks Corvette. I was right on my guess for the price of 1 mill. 001 serial number will be worth a lot in years to come. Did you notice the same guy paid a million for another Corvette? 1953 serial number 003 he had this car at 900000 but just raised it to a million so it would be a million. also while bidding was going on for the president limo Jay Leno produces a cigar claiming he found it under the seat.:D
