Sorry, "naysayer" was the wrong choice of word. "Opponent" might be a better choice. I wasn't saying it to be sarcastic. But for the guys that don't want to see those cars out there, I would think that one more in somebody's collection (instead of on the track) would be welcome.

Jack,I couldn't care less how you make a living.I never said someone shouldn't make money at what they do.It's the American way.If you conduct the way you do your business in a honest manner then when you die you'll go to your reward with a clear concience.
Be carefull what you jump into,you might need highwaders.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

I don't know about everyone else, but I think at the next east coast race Ed and Jack should share a hotel room for the weekend!!!!!! LOL

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

lmao!

They will probably lose the paper work to the car and the car will not change hands. I've heard of things like that happening at auctions.

Casey Miles
248H Stock?

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Remember John Gallina's SS legal 7 second Buick? It sold @ BJ as I recall for $27,000...never to be seen again.

New race cars are not the place @ BJ. Old race cars are the opposite based on what I've seen.

It brought what it was worth.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Greg,if that's so do you think all the guys that are racing them payed too much for them?
The going price seems to be north of $100K.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Too much for me.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

What a bunch of whiny, miserable people you are wishing bad things on people you don't even know. Your life must be really bad because misery loves company.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Thanks Dean - I was starting to think it was only me who felt that way ............

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Ain't America great?Wer're all entitled to our opinions,whether the P/C police like it or not.

BTW I'm assuming you're refering to me hoping the seller of the car loses his shirt on the mustang.
I don't see where I wished any physical harm to him,only in his pocket for a)not putting a reserve on it b) the fact that it's pretty safe to assume he's not a racer.A real racer wouldn't in his wildest dream think of selling one of these cars for $56K.A speculator needs to take a financial beating
once in a while.Maybe then they wouldn't throw stupid money at things and ruin the market for real
car guys.But I'm sure this doesn't matter one bit to you.You're most likely a keyboard racer anyway.
Jack is a racer and maybe way back in his mind he sees my point,but that's for him to determine.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

I don't think they are clueless Ed. I think they know exactly what they are doing.... and being paid well for doing it.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

I guess Scott.Like someone said before,it puts food on the table.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Yes, to them it's strictly business. Truth, honesty, fairness, and sportsmanship (as in racing) are not in their vocabulary. I think they've all read Robert Ringer. "Looking Out For Number One" The name of the game is to pile chips on your side of the table. Everything else is secondary. This is not a motorsports operation...... it's money game.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

I'm with you Jack. I met Ed last year when I was pitted next to him at Maple Grove. I thought he was a pretty nice guy. I had no idea he had a real thing against people with a couple of bucks regardless of whether they have worked night and day for 20 or 30 years to get there and are now enjoying the fruit of all their hard work. Too bad...

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

I was told this same CJ sold at BJ last year for $110K. That IS a speculator. Not a racer!

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Come on Anthony.I never once said that.I have no problem with anyone who gets
involved with racing and their equipment.You have a nice fleet,cars,trailer ,etc.I'm sure you
worked hard to get where you are today.I hold no ill will towards youi or any other racer with more than what I have (which is a vast amount of people).
Take a look at the high profile speculators (some,not all) who are taking over the
collector car market.They found a place to dabble and become a hero to their friends
and adoring fans.
Jack have no fear that I'm including you in that group.In the end you're small potatoes
in the collector car market.But that's okay,if you enjoy what you do,good for you.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Ed - The horse has left the barn - no amount of back peddling will help ...............maybe you should choose your words better .But then we can't forget your words - ain't America grand ...........

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Jack,I don't back pedal.It's not my fault you can't comprehend the written word.You also put too much importance on yourself in the scheme of things.I repeat,I think it's a good thing when speculators get bit in the *****.Period.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

I agree....if it wasnt for speculators and dirt bag shows like Barrett-Jackson more regular working stiffs could afford to have a nice muscle car these days.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Amen

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Guess I'm a dirt bag --- But I'm a working stiff dirt bag - unlike many of you ! And I've been a speculator since around age 12 .

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

AND if your aunt had a "set" she would be your uncle!

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Jack your self pity is hard to bear.I never accused you of being one of the type I' talking about.It's probably true you work at your car/real estate business.And good for you.But now what does "But I'm a working stiff dirt bag - unlike many of you." mean?I worked
outside in the usual weather extremes of the northeast for my whole adult life.GrantedI was paid well for it.And please don't use the I used my head not my hands comparison.Our occupations weren't exactly rocket science.You make it seem that we are somewhat less than you in that respect.
Like you said,your words,not mine.

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Wow!! Hasn't been this much excitement on this board since Art left. Kinda miss ole Arty. You two aren't nearly as funny!!

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Charlie - You're a true car guy -and I know you've walked in my shoes -- help me out here ...................

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Come on Jack you need help to beat up on me?

Re: 2010 Cobra Jet - No Reserve
 

Ed, you can take my comment as you wish. But when are you on here with any positive comments or thoughts? Everything out of your mouth, I mean keyboard, is negative. You are entitled to your opinion, and so is everyone else. Comment all you want, but I am pointing out that your comments are very whiny.

Why in the world would you have enough time in your day to worry about what some guy you don't even know does with his own a car? How does that affect you? How is the market ruined? Most cars sold at BJ for big bucks are $50,000-100,000 restorations, not run of the mill cars that you see around town. People know what they are getting into at BJ so who cares?

If you are looking for a muscle car you can go to BJ and see hundreds at one time which is economical. If you overpay that might be better than flying all over the place to look at car after car.
