barrett-jackson comments

Well, I enjoyed last night's show. Surprising some of the good deals
that actually cropped up, like the white basic 64 Corvette that went for
45k, or the red 56 t-bird that wasn't concourse grade and sold for
something in the 30s.

Also good to see that a clone can give you what you want for a whole lot
less than a technically original car. I could live w/a clone Mopar
product just fine, thanx.

What a great feeling to hear the commentators actually praise the early
Cougar along with the Mustang! Nice to see that red 68!) one go for 30k,
though I think that was a bit high to pay for something whose only boast
is a sunroof. Just wish the hosts could get there years rights: 67s, as
they called it, don't have lights on the fenders!

I'll certainly watch today.

I would like to see a little more trucks, though.

I'll be there Sunday morning, if anyone would like a special shot of
any of the vehicles.

Anything Ford or Mopar classic with a big motor.

Big Al, who has posted here several times, has a friend with a tube
chassis Camaro running a 514 Ford. Best runs have been in the 8's.

I'll post some on Monday night. Is there a particular binaries group I
should post them to? The indoor shots of the Boss 429 Drag car came
out blurry (new camera-must learn to read directions).

I posted a few pictures at:

alt.binaries.automobile.pictures

I just can't believe what this stuff was selling for.$192,500 for a
claimed 1 of 70 '68 Mopar racecar, but only $90,000 for Boydster 3-a
brand new car from Coddington.

Part of it could be that people now see how obnoxious Coddington is from
his TV show and are turned off by it. I'm so disgusted at the way he
selfishly treats his crew like slaves, expecting them to give up their
lives to work day and night to meet his ridiculous deadlines, I wouldn't
buy a car of his if my life depended on it!

Having said that, though, I will admit that 57 chop top that sold over
the weekend was one hellacious automobile, so the guy does have true
talent.

I'd respect him a lot more if he got out of the office and did some work
on those heaps himself instead of bitching at his crew and then going
back upstairs and playing with his sketch pad

It's all in how they edit the footage.
