    Watching the Barrett-Jackson Auction

    Since I'm into cars , I marvel at the B-J auction from time to time ......all wishful thinking , of course .

    Tonight a MODEL came up for auction . It was a 3/8 scale mid 50's Pontiac Concept Car working model powered by the starter motor from a full size automobile .

    Oh , the price ? 75 as in 75K as in 75 LARGE !

    So... did you bid on it? I can understand if you didn't since it isn't a Mustang!

      Some guy paid over $200,000 for a car for his mother! I am assuming he has already bought her a house.

      Wish I could afford that.

        Isn't the muscle car auction this weekend?

        I can't get the auction anymore. They took Speed off C-Band and put it on Ku[!] So I need to climb up on the roof and upgrade my dish...maybe when it's a little warmer

        Enjoy T...

          The key words are "50s Concept Car". That is why it brought the high price with collectors.

            Jay Leno was probably there, he needs a few more, one of his warehouses had an empty spot..

              Just think of the layout that you could have if ya had that kind of money? Heck If I had that kind of money Ft.Wayne would have a good place for a MRR club! Kevin

                I didn't see Leno . There was an elderly gentleman sitting in the front row , a lovely lady on EACH side of him , and the three were having a great time as "Mr Whitehair" kept bidding and winning various cars . Ah , the good life .

                        Probably young enough to be his daughters or grand daughters.

                          Last 67 Corvette just went for $600,000 and the announcer called car collecting a hobby!

                          We are in great company. Although I don't have quite that much in my hobby!

                            My brother owned a red 67 stingray (not the split rear window)...he paid $2600 used....and was amazed out of his mind when some guy gave him $6,000 in the late 70's.....I guess he shoulda hung on a bit more! ....tom

                              The old 'shoulda-coulda' !

                              I had a '74 Vette that I bought in '78 for $6K ...drove it for 5 years and sold it for $7K . I guess I wasn't thinking too far ahead in those days .
