Barett Jackson Car Auction-lower Prices This Year?
- Thread starter dsq
- Start date
You forgot the Europeans and the favorable exchange rate.
I'm watching this for the 3rd straight year and prices are way down from past years, especially the prime time cars. Jackson was almost begging to crowd to bid on Carrol Shelby's car and the Corvette concept car.
Quote from Thermactor:
do you think the people who are rich enough to buy these ridiculous cars for ridiculous prices are actually affected enough by an economic slowdown to the point where they'll stop collecting them? If anything, they're profiting from it and getting richer.
Great point.

Apparently so. The auction is doing very poorly.

I've had a vested interest in these cars for years and am quite pleased at what I have seen. Mr. Shelby's car went for 675 k, a Boss 429 brought 325 k with a 302 boss going for 120. Still 2 boss 9's left to bid on...
Seems soft to me... HEMI CUDAS are getting crushed-today they had 1 that went for 165k and another for 245k thats at min. 50% less than last year...even 440-6pak challenger went for 78k and a convertible one for 130k-that is 50% off...58-62 vettes are double almost while mid 60s vettes are getting softer at 150-200k vs last yr 200-250k...I saw a 1969 shelby going for 60k earlier this week. which is half off.A 65gt350 however went for 410k today.So it seems like the money is shifting around and looking to chase the next hot thing.
I havent watched it all day today but the prices seem softer than last year and their is no craziness like last year....I didnt see many z28 and camaros unlike last years flood....you can see how the money is flowing out of some models and into 50s cars etc.....2yrs ago nobody was interested in 50s cars and now they are paying 200-300k for buick skylarks and such!I think these people will be feeling like the guys who bought hemi cudas last yr.
A couple of the big bidders that have been there every year are absent this yr.
Whats ironic is that dude who buys all the million dollar cars, owns a huge home building business with pulte(he's there this yr also-he always sits up front...ron pratt).I think he s holding up prices but dont know how much he will feel like spending going forward given the state of the housing industry.
