IMHO, the Barret-Jackson auto auction is the worst thing to happen to the classic car community. When i watch some sellers on there kicking and screaming cause their 6cyl no option mid 60's mustang ONLY brought 100K, blows me away. They should be jumping for joy. $100K, sheesh.
I looked at a 56' Ford F-100 the other day. It had normal wear n'tear, the floors were gone and pretty much all that was good was the frame and outer cab(which i need). The guy must be a regular watcher, because he seemed to think that truck was worth $13,500 because it had the custom cab trim option. Uh, i'll pass.
There's no chance of finding a decent price on a muscle car or anything older. I hear these uber-wealthy old farts on TV talk about cars in the $20K range like it was chump change. I guess they forget that most of us citizens don't have tons of cash sitting in the bank. Why, i mean how... could you buy a mint Hemi car and NEVER drive it? Because these rich schmucks aren't car guys, they're investors. Gaaa, it irritates me to think about all the performance muscle cars rotting away in a garage somewhere.
A big middle finger goes out to you Barret-Jackson from the working man.
