Barrett-Jackson 1998 Pace car
Did anyone see this car sell if so how many miles was on it and what did it sell for. I have been watching for it but I think it sold when I was at work. Thanks

Yes, that Pace Car, only had 117 total miles and one owner. They said he started it once a month since new to make sure everything was still running good. Just seems like a waste to buy a car and just look at it for 29 years. I would almost wonder if the owner made any money on the car considering what the original price of the vehicle was in 1978, compared to what the equivalent money would be today?

Last night was live from 7-12 EST.
That car went for 49k - I think -
I also heard the announcer mention 10% buyer’s fee several times during the broadcast. Up from 8% last year.

If you throw in the sellers fee BJ is making about 18% on all sales+ it cost $500 to get a bidders card. BJ is making a ton of money, when you add in othere things like vendor charges, day trippers ,its even better (for them)

Late last evening there was a 99 coupe with a wicked flame paint job, nice chrome wheels and a maggie. Not sure of the mileage, but looked like a decent buy to me at around $55K.

It did go on Thursday for 33k. The original description said it had an automatic but in fact it was a 6spd. It was one of the cars driven by chevrolet at the Indy event and used for a press car. It had a few aftermarkets on it such as corsa exhaust. Not much return on an investment-better to drive your car and have fun that to worry about its value down the road.

Yes, sorry my bad. I was referring to the 1978 Pace Car that only had 173 miles. I deleted my reply.

I saw this car in person yesterday and it is a nice car. Good paint job and the same wheels that I have. Now I'll tell you I paid way less for my 04 Z06 with the same mods, and only 3000 miles. This car like nearly everything there was way overbought. But hey it's a great place to sell cars like this.
