Barrett is crawling with nice Mopars. Remember they save the best for last Auction Cars in Scottsdale
The first couple of days, are the cheaper driver cars. If built right you can pick a nice driver for less money then the price to build it. The big dollar cars don't pass the block till Saturday and Sunday.
Prices for stock/restored Mopars were way down this year, something I am happy to see. Modified cars though, sky high! A couple of those resto-mod Corvettes weren't even real original-VIN cars but still tickled $200K. Apparently money doesn't buy smarts.
I heard one of the commentators say 85% of the cars this year were custom. Maybe they become more desirable than original when the economy is hoppin??
There was a nice ‘68 RR post car, older restoration but still showed well, that sold for $24k! That’s a great buy!!
I saw that, but the gavel came down at $107k - I think $10k must be the fees for buying at BJ? It cost $450 to bid (and you had to show bank statements to show you could pay)...if not for the $450 to try and if that Dart hadn't been scheduled on big money Saturday, I might've tried to scoop it - it's an amazing build, and early A's don't usually get much love
When that '66 Barracuda gasser sold for just $27500, I really wished that I had been sat there with cash in hand... that car was stolen. 1966 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA CUSTOM COUPE - Barrett-Jackson Auction Company - World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions You'd get way more attention at cruise night in that B'cuda than any of the resto-mod Corvettes that sold for 10x more. I honestly didn't understand what I was seeing all weekend long...
If anyone is interested in some walkthrough videos of all the vehicle tents, I was there with BluePrint Engines all week. All kinds of videos on our Facebook page, and I got plenty of mopars. BluePrint Engines
