Default Barrett Jackson

Well since I'm in Arizona I thought I'd go down to see the Auction. Spent some time looking over the cars listed, mostly the Vette's.

Well that proved I'm not into stock looking cars. Lot's of C2 cars in the action but when you line them up they all look the same, sorry think I'll pass.

Barrett Jackson is generally going to accept very good original restored Corvettes, or very well built resto mods. If you are looking for something other than that, then BJ auction is probably not the place to be looking.

If you are going to be in Arizona, head over to the Pavilions on Saturday, it is packed today, will be crazy next Saturday, and will be insane the Saturday during auction week. Plenty of cars from one end of the spectrum to the other for sale. Just south of Russo and Steele's new auction location right off the 101 at Indian Bend, and only 10 minutes from Barrett Jackson at Westworld.

I had a 64 Top Flight Car with Factory Air. Is there a center dash vent on this car? Check for Battery Location.
