The Barrett Jackson this week
I'm sure most of us already are aware the Barrett Jackson is on this week. Us people in the snow belt areas can't drive our Cobra's in the snow. They don't hook up very well. So we look forward to the Barrett Jackson auction and wish we could afford the $850,000 original SC Cobra. I believe one of Shelby's first race car will be auctioned.

I always Tivo the whole thing and then speed through the gazillion commercial breaks. You can then watch the entire program in about 2-3 hours. Speed Channel's coverage is usually pretty good, but the number of breaks are rediculous.

Agree, TIVO or DVR is the way to go. I went through Tuesday's 5 hour segment in less than two hours. I did fast forward through quite a few of the cars that I wasn't interested in. The number of commercial breaks is insane!
Only bummer is that they still don't offer SPEED channel in HD where I live.

The days of the $850,000 original SC are long gone. $1.5m was an average price until a couple of weeks ago when CSX 3021 sold for a reported $3.5m.

And you can just bet that ole C.S. is trying to figure out a way to cash in on those sales by suing the owners for a percentage of the appreciation because he feels he is the reason for the increase in some way or another.

Stephen Becker of Planet Cobra is there displaying a Cobra that has a Pops Performance built FE in it. My car was scheduled to be displayed but that had to be cancelled due to not being ready. Planning on having it there next time.

Shelby's car did sell, it was an MG I believe. The first car he ever won a race in. Pratt bought it. I think it was lot #25 (very low #) I don't think it brought nearly what they were trying to get for it. But if you put it in Pratts collection, now your talking some HIGH, HIGH dollars....

What I saw
I went over to the auction last night. What I saw was a hand full of Cobras and most of them were the Factory Five Replicas. I did see 2 CSX4000 in the tent and I'm pretty sure those are the Superformance cars. All in All it was a good show, not as many cars as past years but good.

My first time ever, I watched some of the Barrett-Jackson auction (over the Web, don't have it on cable). Seemed like some nice cars went at relatively low prices, considering the purported history and condition of some of the cars.
I missed the Cobras, but saw some nice Mustangs and Corvettes. The auctioneers sure can talk fast, and the camera guys were zooming in on more than just the cars! Great entertainment ... would be fun to participate ... just bring $$$ !

This year's prices are reflecting our sick economy. A glaring example: '69 COPO Camaro, ZL1 427, 100 point presentation went for $290k. A lot of money, but this is about the most collectable muscle car, and would have sold for at least 2.5 times that figure in 2006 or 2007.

Marco, I agree 100%. I also think your seeing alot of nice cars which have been built over the past two years when people started seeing all the straight silly prices people were getting for cars and thought they could get in on the hype. I actually like seeing the Corvettes, GTOs, Camaros and such going for the much lower (and honestly reasonable prices...because really, how long was these cars going to keep going for six figures (it's not like they only made a couple hundred of them)??? Reminds me of the crash in prices after the 80's.

I haven't noticed as many of the usual suspects. Those that I do recognize do not seem to be interested in as many of the cars. Not certain whether this is due to the economy or the catalog. There also seems to be fewer registered bystander/bidders who drop out half way. The hype is that the economy has had no affect, but it obviously has. Amy Assiter is still a joy to behold.
DVR is the way to go.

Prices didn't collapse, but they sure came back to earth a bit. There was a lot of nice land yachts from the late 40's and 50's that seemed like a steal this year. Seemed like sellers unleashed a flood of Corvettes and Camaros this time...way too many.
There were a couple of auctions where you knew the Barret Jackson folks were sweating bullets about the low bids.

You guys are the experts.
Sure the super restored rare Camero's and Hemi's have come down in price a little. BUT, I do not recall ever seeing a 66 Shelby Mustang(fully restored) sell for over 200k.
I also noticed a lot of one and two owner cars instead of the usual trading Corvettes back and forth with your friends.
