Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction on Speed Channel

[Midnight Flyer]

Anyone watch the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction on the Speed Channel tonight? A 1959 Cadillac Seville Eldorado with 2,240 actual miles went for $150,000. Several 60s and 70s muscle cars with frame off restorations went for anywhere from $85,000 to over $150,000, many if not all for the investment value. Some truly beautiful cars were sold! 8)

:twisted: You bet, Yoop! That Impala SS427 could flat haul the mail. A friend of mine had a red with black interior '69 SS427 and that was one sweet car! 8)

Ran up to the sub shop last night and they had Speed on the tv and they were selling your 57 T-bird, went for $120,000. Start saving your pennies.

I saw that one, it was BEAUTIFUL! Looked like it just came off he assembly line! 8)

Watching it this afternoon; a pair of '63 Corvette split window coupes went for $525,000! My question is: would anybody paying this much for cars drive them or just let them sit and look at them? If I was gonna pay this much for a car I'd wanna drive 'em! 8)

Shelby was definitely a car that could lay em down.

Wonder if they could make a reproduction of my old '77 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ, silver with red interior, 4-barrel 455 engine. Best car I ever owned! Man that car would SCREAM. 8) 8)

O.K. with all the "Big Bucks" we drivers make didn't any of you buy from the auction?? LOL I went back to watching it last night but it was torture. Couldn't buy a thing. Drive safe everyone.

[Splitter]

If it were me, and I laid down that money? I would be driving them.

[Midnight Flyer]

They also set a record for the most money spent on a car. Someone paid $5.5 million for a 1967 Shelby Cobra. That's right folks, that's $5.5 MILLION!! Carrol Shelby said in an interview that little sweetie would go from 0-60 in about three-and-a-half seconds! 8) 8)
