2009 Barrett-Jackson Corvette auction

[D S.]

I was sent a link by member Roger Dupler to the B-J auction beginning tonight at 7:00 PM EST through January 18 on the Speed Channel. It is a list of the Corvettes to be auctioned.

I have the catalog from BJ and there are some nice cars going through and some not so nice ones. Tuesday, Wed and THurs will be mostly low end cars, but look out for the "rafter boys" bids on Friday and Saturday. Watch how many times they back the bids up because the auctioneer really didn't have the bid. I'm not going this year, but will watching it on TV. I think a lot of consigners will be buying their own cars back as this economy has affected the classic cars as well.

I think there will be some great deals in the Heritage cars. A lot of history there, many 00001's and high dollar "experiments." I was driving the Tiger Shark around the grounds on Thursday and it is really a awesome machine! The resto-mods are really going to do well again. There is a very nice gold '58 that is truely art, even though it would score one point in a top flight!

If Scottsdale is anything like Vegas, was in the Fall, the sellers are going to take the hit and the buyer's will be doing quite well. I think this is especially true on quality restorations, without high horsepower engines, lots of options, and bullet-proof documentation.

We shall see.

Good luck to all participating !
