Hot Rods Jimmy Shine 34 Ford Pickup at Barrett Jackson

Just got picture text of my friend sitting in Jimmy Shines 34 this morning. I guess its going on the auction block today in Scotsdale...I told them to bid on it for me but I suppose its a little out of my price range! Always like that truck

 

When we saw him on TV saying he was selling the truck we were in shock. I never thought he would part with that one, it was such a part of him. He seemed a little more subdued than usual, so I think he is feeling bad about parting with it too.

It should go for good money though.

Times change,taste change..Jimmy is probably planning a new project. HRP

 

looks like he has a good time for selling it. Be interesting what it brings.

 

Always liked that truck.

 

I was just on the Barrett Jackson site and it said Jimmy's truck sold for 250k. Wow.

 

^^^OMG! that is nuts.

 

why did they change the selling order? looks like they held a group of cars off and jumped ahead with the others. Hope everyone was there that were interested in it but it did bring a nice number but I was under the impression it was to be in a couple of hours right before the big ticket cars started. unless the time was right and they were falling behind and just jumped passed those other cars and will continue now with the big ticket cars and bring the group they skipped back later to keep the main highlighted cars on the right timetable track?

 

Damn!!!! I only had $ 249,999.00 to spend !

 

they skipped 50 cars approximately 2 and a half hours worth. I was hoping to go to town and watch it and some of the others go across the block but I guess that won't happen now. by the time I get there most of the cars I wanted to see will be done if they keep going down the line now..

 

I have a car Jimmy Shine built and it only cost me $1800 at a charity auction!

 

that would fund a nice new project.... congrats on the sale Jimmy ! Hope the new owner gives it a good home...

 

thanks to Bigbang for clueing me in to the order change, I guess I'm going to watch the streaming online instead now, see you all later.

 

I'd rather have 10 that look just like it built by people who are not Jimmy Shine. that is a bunch of money.

 

Hope he has enuf left over to pay for the head gasket I loaned him at Bonneville.

 

Time to go get on with my day, armed with today's best car guy gossip.
Mr Shine did good outer that pile.
Can't wait to see what he builds next.

 

And now the kids can go to college!

Hope he helps us little guys, when he remembers to pay his capital gains tax.


bout 35 %

 

Online they have it at $236,500 and that includes the buyer premium.

Still a couple of hundred.............. thousand over my budget.

 

Oh My! The TV reality star did really well with his highly promoted truck. Bonneville is his next goal per his interview on BJ. I wish him all the best in his next endeavor.

 

If anyone's interested, I have 4 of those same 17 inch 1932 Studebaker spoke wheels for sale

 

Looks like he may have broke even on that build. Bob

 

What? No way. Just my opinion but thats just a chopped and channeled truck. Lots of them out there similar to that one.

 

I agree with 56don, that's just plain stupid money!

 

Yea!!!! Very stupid. Will most likely lose big if the new owner decides to sell.

 

Every time a thread starts about the BJ auction we get these type replies ^^^ The winning bidder didn't think it was stupid money, it was what he was willing to spend. It's their money to spend as they wish, these are the type of posts that make these threads get locked or deleted, i'm glad for Jimmy.

 

I agree 117harv Two things dad always said: Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay : And jealousy is a hateful thing

 

This may sound dumb, but who is Jimmy Shine? Never heard of him.

 

^^^ A dude the IRS is looking for.

 

just remember, it took at least 2 people to get that price up that high
