Who's watching the Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson Auction on Speed this week?

If so ....

Which was your favourite car?
.... and why?
What was the mod?

It's 3 part question, boys. Pay attention.


I liked the red custom '57 Chev vert. Slammed, bammed, thank you mam! I'll get the lot # and pic tomorrow. B-J is not fast enough. Sold for about $160 K . It was hot! My wife said she would jump my bones anywhere on, or in that car! I've created a monster.

We should post pics of the cars we liked. You never know, something from those 'merican cars may futurely inspire new mods on our ricers. Old school has always been new school, and now new school has become old school garnished with tech, but it's still school all the same. We've gotta a day left to see some cool customs and 'steal' ideas from some of the best designers in one of the best showcase markets available.

my dad went to barrett jackson in vegas in 09 and said it was amazing to say the least.
i watch barrett jackson from start-up to finish. i have no favorite car, i just like seeing origininal cars matching numbers and all go for some really big numbers.

I can only watch so many 'matching numbers' Camaro's and 'Vettes go over the block. Before long, I'm sick of them; not to say they are still really nice cars.

I really enjoy seeing some of the resto-mods and customs.

^^ tru say but anyone with a load of money can create a resto/custom it takes a true car guy to keep a car in original form for 40+ years.
iv noticed a lack in camaros and chevelles this year in B-J. lots of mustangs this year.

I love watching this, drives my wife crazy:chuckle.

I see too many nice rides go by to pick one. '67 Vettes are so nice, and a 396 Camaro sold the other day for like $30,000, man I wish. I just caught the end of that one so not sure of the car's details.

I'm a pretty big fan of the "resto-mod" too if it's done right. And the Yenko recreations are hot and go for a decent price. I've never seen a real Yenko.
