Barrett Jackson Now

That 69 Charger, red like the other one we posted about, but this one had red paint that absolutely looked liquid and beautiful! The 318 was yanked out and a 440 based 512 stroker:bananadance: (440 Source kit) was under the hood. "Hemi" torsion bars, and I'd tell y'all more, but Barrett-Jackson auctions and announcers SUCK for audiences! What rear axle? What transmission?
Regardless, WHAT A DEAL FOR THE BUYER!
Look! $27k!!

If you want everything perfect you arent going to get it at that price for sure Lol!!!
Just have to do your due diligence, any used car is an unknown without a documented restoration catalog.
People are different have have different views on methods/ practices and risk...maybe he didnt view it as a big risk...easy plumbing fix and wouldn't scare me. Just have to be ready for suprises... hell, you go buy a brand new car that can have safety issues...look at at the recent recalls.

What's with all that nonsense hanging in front of the rear wheel. I saw that and thought "sucka!"
 
BJ seems to lack on the description of the cars. But... Ole Magnete is giving us a history lesson on every car though want it or not.

How can people watch the BJ show and be able to tell off their TV the extent of the car's resto?? It would be like trying to buy a project off the little pics they send on your cell.
 
Red over black. Joy has lost his mind. Commercials! Jesus Chrysler.

I get ya there...wasn't thinking of the safety aspect of but more of what else they half assed...I bet that car is full of wtf moments...lol
 
So, let me see if I've got this right. Hypothetically , you are a rich car collector, and you need a break on your taxes. So you donate a 100k car to a very worthy, very popular charity, to be auctioned off at a Big auction event.
Since it is a popular charity, someone who also could use a tax deduction, buys the car for 300k.
So, you claim a 300k deduction (that's what it sold for!), the buyer gets it appraised for a hun k, and claims a 200k donation to the charity, and the tax deduction, and gets to keep his 100k car, and the auction company who so publicly waived their fees, takes a deduction on their taxes for the fees on a 300k that they donated.
Am I a cynic, or do I have this right?

Sounds good to me.

It looked solid. NO open hood!:soapbox:
I prefer Mecum auctions WAY WAY better than B-J auctions.
Mecum shows the engine and moves slower, with less commercials.
If I didn't DVR a B-J auction it would be unwatchable with 50% of the show being commercials!

I see it just the opposite :thumbsup:

I like the no reserve auctions much better :bananadance:
 
Also I don't understand why people keep calling hardtops coupes. Hardtops the quarter glass rolls down and coupes they are fixed.

I built this car 2 years ago for a customer and it sold for 105K. I call it the Animal. Blast to drive. The description is pretty accurate other than it took me lest then a year to build, not 2.5 years. Pretty much the same except the new owner changed the wheels. We had 15x12 Rallyes made for the rear at a tune of 700 for the pair of wheels.

I bet it looked better with the big ralleys on it! Good looking car!

That's funny,I grew up always thinking a post car is a coupe and no post is a hardtop whether or not the rear windows roll up and down. Guess I am wrong.
 
Watch the auctions for entertainment and some interesting history on cars as they have it. As some have posted, before I'd want to plunk down cash on a car, I'd want to know exactly what it is inside and out. I've seen many cars that look great from 25 feet then the picture changes every foot closer ya get. I restoed two cars, one being a rusted WI driven hulk (my mom's Cutlass vert that was handed down through the family) and then my CA Plymouth. No need to talk about the difference restoing them! Still, there were so many shortcuts that could be made and with the Cutlass, by the time my dad and I got done with it the only original metal on the car was the hood and left fender...including the cowling and dash...cut out and replaced. There were so many occasions thinking on cheaper and quicker ways to do things; but opted to do it as right as could be. Took over 250 photos of the Plymouth during the resto process so if I sell it someday the buyer will see about every inch of the car...phone camera is so handy unlike the days when doing the Olds before we had cell phones. I've met guys at shows that did the same and some have their photo albums in their trunk that's great to glance thru as we shoot da ****. I drool over the car (well not drool on the car that could cause a bad scene) that much more seeing exactly what the car is/was. Anyway, I just couldn't think of dropping big cash on a 'restored' car having little idea what lies under the paint, carpet, dash, etc.
