Barrett Jackson Auction

[histoy]

The Barrett Jackson auction is going on this week through the 19th.   Is there a TV station that is broadcasting the auction this year?

[A383Wing]

Fox Sports 2 will televise it...which I don't get

[myk]

Fox 2 would broadcast "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" if they were paid enough...

In all seriousness, that's one thing I DO NOT get, at all...

[A383Wing]

no...I don't want my "in-box" full of "Little Pony" pics

[myk]

no...I don't want my "in-box" full of "Little Pony" pics

Ok, just throwing it out there...

It's also being broadcast on the speed channel at least here in Ontario Canada 

[Ghoste]

Bronys and ponys?  Huh? 

[histoy]

I must be confused, because I thought that FOX bought the SPEED Channel and switched it over to FOX Sports.

[A383Wing]

yea....SPEED Channel is now Fox Sports 1......I checked my guide on my cable company....as of now, looks like it will be on FS1 starting Friday at 11:00am here...looks like I will get it....

But I know the TV commercial said it was on FS2 last when I posted the original post I made

[War wagon]

Still called speed channel here
Bell express vu for us Canucks 

[TUFCAT]

Does anyone still give a rip about Barrett-Jackson anymore?    NOT ME!

I pvr the entire event then skip all commercials and cars I'm not interested in. While I don't really care either way what the cars sell for ,being a car nut I enjoy seeing so many cool cars in one place.
I am curious what the snake and mongoose cars and transporters sell for. If I had Bill Gates kind of coin I'd have too own those 

I started recording yesterday, although No Mopars wants across on air

[histoy]

Thanks for the info A383Wing

[War wagon]

If the prices of Tuesdays sales are any indication, this years sales will be up again...
For the Nascar and Ford fans a 69 Torino Talledaga sold for 100k, not bad for a car on day 1 
That's only the first day, premium cars on Sat night.

[A383Wing]

did I miss something? Is it on TV already? My guide says it starts on Friday

[War wagon]

Yes it's been on 2 hrs a night since Tuesday on Speed channel, increased coverage closer to wknd.
I believe Friday fox channel airs some coverage.
Speed channel runs everyday of auction

[1974dodgecharger]

Saw some bj auctions on the highway....really nice. Saw a roadrunner...

[War wagon]

Update
It's being broadcast tonight on fox sports 2 from 7-9 then fox business from 9-11
Or if your in Canada and get speed channel 
Some really cool cars tonight

[A383Wing]

I got nothing until 11am tomorrow...never saw anything this week at all

[War wagon]

Really nice 71 R/T V code pistol grip $55,000 
Was lot # 823 iirc
Pretty sure it was F6 , lots of options

[War wagon]

Lot # 826
Plum crazy 71 Plymouth Cuda CONVERTIBLE , original 318 2bbl now 426 HEMI
100k

[War wagon]

Tomorrow's coverage is 2pm-9pm fox sports 1 and then 9pm-12am fox business channel

OR... Speed channel for all 10 hrs

Thankfully I have a PVR 

[472 R/T SE]

Lot # 826
Plum crazy 71 Plymouth Cuda CONVERTIBLE , original 318 2bbl now 426 HEMI
100k

That was once my buddy's car.  It struggled to reach $70k couple years back.   The car couldn't have been made much better than what it was when Tom sold it.

Although today's Judge & yesterdays '68 Satellite vert & purple Challenger did good I thought.  I'm not real up to date on the A12s' but I thought his Bee might have been soft @ $60k?  

[1974dodgecharger]

Seriously who the hell is overpaying on these cars? I say 20% value on these is hyped as in they gain 20% in value only cause BJ.

I agree the Bee was soft. Seemed like a nice car. Couldn't buy it around here for that.
Good deals can be found just depends on your tastes.
They guy who bought the 1998 Bently Azure Convertible for $55k did well, that cars msrp was $360k new and it only had 50,000 miles. Was still as new,
new Lexus .... Or Bentley Conv. lol

I just enjoy watching the parade of cars I wouldnt have a chance too see otherwise.
Such a range of vehicles, you never know what will cross the block

[JB400]

It's on Fox Sports 1 today starting at 1 pm est and running all afternoon.

[A383Wing]

yea...starts today here..not sure what he's been watching...I have not seen anything yet

[War wagon]

Too bad your area doesn't have more coverage. The auction started Tuesday January 14th and runs til Sunday January 19th
Speed channel here broadcast coverage on Tuesday from 7-9pm
Wednesday and Thursday were 7-11 pm
Today 2pm-12am
Not sure about tomorrow or Sunday yet

Bottom line is you've been robbed by your cable provider 

Now you know what I've been watching 

[472 R/T SE]

We have Direct TV & have one of the basic packages & have got the auction all week on Fox Sports, Nat. Geo. & Fox Business.
It's on prime time Saturday, first time for a car auction.

[JB400]

I could probably get it, but it'd cost me more money   I don't think it's worth it, especially when I can get on their website and see it.

[War wagon]

Some really good deals to be had this year.
Just about died last night when a fully restored 67 GTX HEMI car sold for $53k. It was a legit HEMI car and not a clone.
I have more tied up in my Charger
Tonight is all the Killer cars including the Snake and Mongoose

[War wagon]

140k for a 68 HEMI coronet convertible, and 500k for a alpine white winged bird
MADNESS I SAY MADNESS

[polywideblock]

[War wagon]

Msn.foxsports.com
For live streaming....

1969 Charger 500 HEMI 4 spd 165K

[JB400]

Rick Hendrick bought the Snake and Mongoose combination off the block.

[War wagon]

HEMI super bird 500k , 440-6 super bird 130k both alpine white.
So hard to judge what cars will sell for....
Glad I'm not a seller, think it would add some years to my looks LOL

[Cooter]

Why is it you guys will crucify a seller on Craig's list, but will watch thus bulls*it all day long? Even DVD that sh*t?
hypocrites.
if this isn't someone hyping prices, I don't know what is...and another thing, if your not watching/worried bout the values of what they are 'supposedly' selling for on BJ, why the hell even watch?

[Ghoste]

I never understood it either Cooter, last thing I want to watch.  I think its just the thrill of seeing old cars go by in an endless parade on tv?

[1974dodgecharger]

I think its just cool to see old muscle cars?  I heard thats bad for the eyes and wallet though...now i see why older dudes stay home been there done that kinda of deal and then went bankrupt for their dream car lol....

Production values.  BJ is some grand, hoity-toity, high-browed affair, complete with red carpet, tuxedo'd hosts, professional lighting, camera work, sponsors and high-dollar machines.  Craigslist is....well, it's Craigslist and anything there just comes off as being laughable or a lame attempt to get young college girls on a casting couch...

[Ghoste]

Hoity toity?  It's a circus and don't ever kid yourself.  There is nothing whatsoever high class about B-J.

I agree as well---This auction is fun to watch but it doesn't establish the real market.

There will follow many high prices for cars for sale to come because of this auction and we will be commenting on that very topic for weeks/months to come.   It is what we do

[472 R/T SE]

I honestly don't care much about the rest of it, I just want to attend so I can discover all the different ways of the transportation of us humans'.

I have another buddy who went last year.  He's small time like me.  He said it was absolutely insane seeing all those different era rigs'.  He said once you see 'em all like that, it's easier to figure out what decade they came from, etc.
It'd be nice for me since I'm lost when it comes to the old Fury, Darts & number cars'.

Lemme see if I get this right.  The sister in laws's boyfriend's uncle owns an/some Alaskan fishing boats.  One of the boat's was on The Deadliest Catch's 1st 2 seasons.  He's into old iron too & I guess he bought a couple more rigs down there this year.  
Anyhoots, he has a place there in Arizona with like almost 100 cars.  
Plus there's another person with a collection I want to check out.

Than I hear Ron Pratt's selling off his collection.  He's in Arizona too.  I'd love to see his collection.

[A383Wing]

I just like watching the cars go across the stage...I get to see something different...unlike going to all the local shows around here and seeing the same cars every year

[6spd68]

What did the 'Hurricane Sandy' 68 Hemi go for?

[A383Wing]

What did the 'Hurricane Sandy' 68 Hemi go for?

from what I heard, it did not make it up to the block....seller either yanked it, or BJ found out it was a totaled insurance car and did not allow it to go through

[Ghoste]

It was pulled from the auction.

[6spd68]

That actually makes me rather happy.  Maybe the seller will now look into the vehicle and get the proper repairs made.

[Ghoste]

Sadly, my guess is that he'll just run it through somewhere else.

I didn't know cars with a checkered past weren' allowed at BJ's...

[6spd68]

Indeed, what about the barn finds they've had in past years?  Memories of a faded barn stored 68 Mustang GT-350 come to mind...

[A383Wing]

seller probably tried to "mis-represent" the car before auctions began...just as he did on ebay how many times?

[1974dodgecharger]

That actually makes me rather happy.  Maybe the seller will now look into the vehicle and get the proper repairs made.

or just sell it at the price it went for on ebay?  The freakin price went for 80k or so and did not even meet his reserve and I think (major guessing) it got up to 120k and still did not hit reserve.  How much did he get it for to not be satisified on the gains he made?  INsurance company sold it for how much?

[Ghoste]

It was pulled before the auction.  Whether it was a B-J decision or the sellers I don't know.  If it was B-J, there had to be an overwhelming risk for them to take.

I thought I read in other thread that seller got car for $60k after insurance totaled it

[Ghoste]

I wonder if he's stubbornly trying to set a record with it now and prove us all wrong.  I know he's aware of the controversy and naysayers.

[6spd68]

If I bought for 60, I'd have taken 80 in a heartbeat...  Or, as I've said, spend the 15-20K, go through the entire car, clean everything and make it right, then get that money and then some back out of it...   

Mind you, I'd not have initially spent 60K on a Charger when I can just get a 318 car, dump the cash into a smooth restomod, and enjoy something faster, equally as unique, with the same head turner capability, for a lot less money...   

^ Wait a sec, that's what I'm doing! 

[A383Wing]

yea..he was aware of it the first time he listed the car on eBay
