Hot Rods Barrett Jackson Prices Seem Low

Instant stupidity, just add alcohol and show your face on . That’s why the alcohol is free and pushed in the high rent section

I haven't watched the whole thing this weekend, just segments here and there. So far, I haven't seen any custom sell for close to what it cost to build. Which is why you build customs to enjoy, not for profit. (Unless someone is paying you to build it, obviously)

 

They will only bring what 2 people want to pay.

 

This afternoon there was a 60’s era Ford Bronco that went for $650,000. Granted it was for a charity but get real, it was a Bronco all jacked up big wheels and tires. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

 

The reality is trucks, 4x4s brought great money. The hot rods and customs, not so much.

 

A nice diversion is watching the young ladies writing the sale price on the windshield.

 

There was a beautiful 57 Chevy convertible went got 99,000. It had an Art Morrison chassis, had to have had 200,000 in it. Unbelievable loss of money selling that one

 

They need to do a feature on her.

 

Also think about this. How much is a 2 minute commercial worth on Barrett Jackson during prime time?
A loss on a build may be worth something in advertising for a shop.
Just a thought

 

YES! She has a great "Rear Bumper" & the camera guy does that "down low" shot every time!

 

I had never thought about that aspect of it.

 

And don’t forget about all the potential customers there with deep pockets you meet during the auction.

 

58 Corvette custom-------- $385,000...unbelievable

 

We regularly complain about how Barrett-Jackson prices are too high, making everyone think their rides are worth way more than they are and then we turn right around and complain that Barrett-Jackson prices are too low. Poor ol' Barrett-Jackson just can't win with this crowd!

 

No complaints. Just discussing a changing demographic

 

Gambling......Vegas Style....

 

if you wank big money looks like an Art Morrison chassis will help.

 

Please pass the pepper to go with all the salt on this thread! Pete

 

so, flipping back and forth from another channel last nite I saw Gene Winfield in line in a car heading for stage - very quick view of Rambler SST ?? that Gene built a long time ago that was lost for years?? - anyone with better info?

 

Jalopy Joker.....Gene Winfield built the 1966 Ford Fairlane show car. Lot 1366.

He was up by the auctioneers hyping it up.

 

Yes just like Vegas give the high rollers free booze

 

Lawdy lawdy lawdy

 

I've been hustlin' all my life..
When you buy a shitbox for 3K, dump 4K into it then flip it for $1700. . .

 

The key is having the capital to buy the dips.

 

To buy in the dips or from the dips?

Should I rush your rush job or the rush job I was rushing when you rushed in?

 

Here's an indicator, check the dates...

 

Thanks for info - I owned a '66 Fairlane GT and from the front did not recognize his

 

Wow... that was one hell of a deal on a 36 3W ! Someone took it in the shorts ...... One Henry's finest designs.

 

Capital does no good if you don't know when you're really in a dip.

No matter what the consensus is here, it seems everything is still about $10k too high, and more for muscle cars.

 

I was looking in the wrong auction returns (forgot this is a new year), but I did find this one that paints a rosier picture of the current value for a '36, if it's comparable to the car you posted.
