I thought the muscle car prices were much more realistic today... no
buyers frenzy today.
I'm stunned at the low money that customs were bringing. Some of them
were simply works
of art. that twin turbo'd roadster went for a bit over 100K as I recall,
and they'd mentioned something
in the 400K range to build....

I am amazed at what the cars are bringing now. I agree that some
of the BJ thing is egos with too much money competing for a
trophy, but, and that is a BIG BUT, it happened too many times on
Saturday to be a fluke. Those folks are driving the values up on
just about every collector car and insurance is about protecting
your investment, (aren't you glad you own a Chevelle). Of course
you don't have to insure your car for that much. It is good to
have documentation (BJ actual sales) if you do want to insure your
car for the max. That's how I use their results. On a side note,
it seemed that the Street Rods were down thru Saturday. Anybody
else pick up on that or did I miss the $100K + sales?

I tuned in late last night and caught em putin the hammer
down on a Red 66 SS for $125,000. Can anyone give me the
details that made this one that special? We use Barrett
Jackson, Mecum, Kruse and other auctions as comparables
when insuring high dollar cars. Sometimes the underwriters
just don't understand and you have to show proof. On
another note, I have an old 68 Malibu out back that I am
thinking about sticking a Hemi in and running it through
BJ in the fall. Anyone know where I can get a set of motor
mounts for that??? (all in jest of course unless I could
find one of those Smokey Yunick Hemis).
Just out of curiosity, why do you use these auctions for
insurance purposes? This is just a personal opinion of mine,
but all I see these auctions as is rich people competing
against one another to see who has too much money to spend.
In other words, I see it as all smoke & mirrors, not a
reflection of what the cars are realistically worth.
