I would too but I hear you have to have big $$ just to get in the main tent. That true? I would go just to walk around the cars and drool.

I hope they have good cars this time, haven't been too impressed lately at the auctions on t.v.

Default Hmm, ..

Prepare to swear, shout , get pissed off and every now and then say ... that was a good buy! These are usually big pontiacs and even 409 Chevy's!

I love and hate the coverage offered by speed ....

I went the last few years and am going again on friday this year. You see things there you just dont see at car shows especially since its a national event. Its only about $30 bucks to get in and with the exception of the bidders pit gets you in everywhere. If you havent been I would strongly urge it, TV just dosent do it justice.

Missed the '68 that sold! I have the exact car with a BB. Was the car that sold a BB car? What condition was it in? Showroom, driver?

350 horse 327 coupe with air. Very nice condition, but as mentioned, sat up way too high in the rear. I'm watching right now, just saw a 67 350 horse 327 coupe with air go for 75K.

I'm interested to see what mine would go for. Has anyone seen a 1976, with 90,000 miles and currently doesn't run, come across the block?

The cars are truly amazing at Barrett Jackson. I would love to attend and plan on going one of these years. It has become the Super Bowl of automobiles. The prices are a bit out of control but there is some serious money there. It certainly sets a precedent for prices in the upcoming year. Every time a see a car come acroos the block I think back when my friends and I had them......If we only knew!!!
