Photos of my car for Auction-Thoughts
Photos are 3 posts below. I had trouble getting them to upload.
hope it is ok if I post this. If not, feel free to remove it moderators. I took these photos on Monday and think they represent my car well. Why they wanted to give me a very late spot on Saturday(40 cars from the end) and why they will only allow 4 of my photos instead of 6-9 like others is beyond me. I've been in contact with them since the first week of July and really thought my car would be placed in a decent spot. I like Barrett-Jackson overall, but I am mystified to the politics involved with getting a decent spot. I have moved my 67 Restomod Corvette to an early evening Friday spot in place of the very late Saturday spot. Hopefully it will work out well, but if not, what will be will be....
It's out of my hands at this point. Good luck to all selling or who are bidding!

Chris,
I’ve had my frustrations with the process as well, but overall have been very happy with the feedback from my consigner. I went to the Vegas auction and scheduled a meeting face to face to discuss the cars we were bringing and my anticipated values and made my request for preview location. Don’t know if the meeting helped or not, but I feel it was worth the time invested.
I think the quality cars get the attention and as long as it’s Friday or Saturday for the higher end cars I feel they will bring the money. It’s a gamble, but that’s part of the excitement, my three high end cars sell within an hour gonna be a wild night.
All the best, I know your car will do very well, can’t wait to meet up in Scottsdale.

Love the new pics, they really show off the paint better than the inside pictures.

I have no reason to market this process currently and I think it is very expensive, but it is worth it for high end cars!

Chris, those pictures are awesome! Friday is a much better position and your competition will mean the difference between doing well and doing very well. Plus, late Friday onsite provides a better chance for bold bidding enhanced by alcohol. Beer muscles are only second to keyboard muscles!

Stunning Chris. If I had you build me a car.... that would be it (except in '66 ). Can't imagine it not doing very well. The one thing I can do is pray for your success. Blessings.

And,... appreciate the comment on the ceramic coating. My paint is new so now would be the ideal time to apply the ceramic. Been debating if I should trust this new technology. Be thinking of you.
