Tonight on Barrett-Jackson

[Frederickdav]

Did anyone else see the Barrett-Jackson auction tonight? A real nice '87 GN went for $22000. Which I admit is nothing special but, the way the commentator was talking about it. He was saying things like one of these is on his "bucket list" and if he only had a paddle, these cars are "highly collectible". I think the value of my "T"just went up a few coins!

Yup, I was watching Barrett Jackson that night. I was kind of disappointed at the $22k figure , too. Makes one wonder why so low of a dollar figure if it was very nice .

No offense to whoever owns it / sold it , it was not that nice of a car , I thought $22k was very generous for it .

 

[BobbyBuick]

there was one sold at mecum for 18 i wouldn't have given 6 for.

Damn, that being the case I could get 50k for mine

 

[stage1gn]

I've always said , a good car doesn't need an auction to sell !!!!!!

I saw that particular one in person. I could not agree more with you. It sukked.

What was wrong with it? I couldn't see any flaws on TV. Which would shock me if I could.

I have been to barret jackson twice now. Television makes those cars look a whole lot better believe me. Some are really nice but i saw some outside before they went on the block and was amazed at how good they looked on the big screen.

It had some worn spots in the interior, the paint had some crazing, it basically looked like it was ridden hard and put away wet, for lack of a better way to describe it.

 

[TR Custom Parts]

Saw it in person on Saturday, no way was that worth 22K, lots of flaws in the paint, didn't even look inside it!

 

[mikes86ttop]

Just got home myself. What a long day. Pretty cool experience overall and I also agree that GN was a little overbid...Mike

 

[Pwt]

I guess when you have a couple of drinks everything looks better.

 

[EVIL]

It appears Barret Jackson is the place to sell a TR.

Just oil up the paint and make it shine.

I second this. I went to BJ in Vegas last year and was amazed at how bad a lot of the cars were in person. Hell I saw a "GN" sell at the Vegas auction that wasn't even a GN but was advertised as being one as the VIN was for a standard regal!! If that tells ya anything.

Any of us selling should drive on down to BJ and spike the market for TR's
