I like the first one a whole lot, and I'm sure you do to.

I know there is lots of hype, but it sure is nice to see what comes across the block.

Kenny- These prices are very affordable even for someone just beginning to collect muscle cars - the '69 GTO was a steal for a restored piece and the Boss 302 was reasonable for sure ....................

I saw Rick Hendrick buy a car. Announcer said that was his third car he purchased at BJ.
I figure here was a car guy just like us-only he had a pocket full of money to spend. Maybe he had a $200k cd sitting in the bank at .75% interest. Or his stock broker called him with (another) hot stock tip and he said screw it, I'm going to buy a car i can go to the garage and look at, drive or keep it for a couple years and resell it and make money. (Unless he buys a Ray Allen car). No sense in letting someone else have fun with that money.

If I had his money, I'd do the same thing.

The part that I don't like is that I would like to find a 63-67 Corvette that I want to restore myself. BJ has drove the prices so high that I cant find a reasonable priced project car.
By the time I pay top dollar for a car and restore it, the cost will be prohibitive. I won't buy a finished car. Not my style.

The black 55 was his 3rd or 4th of the day. He bought a handful of various cars on Friday, also.

My best bud that I race with and attend Yankee games with has a '66 or '67 Corvette convertible. 427/435. I put an engine together for him for it. Call it period correct with date codes very close to original I believe it was an orginal 427/435 but the engine was gone. He removed the body a year or two ago and spiffed up the frame and suspension. He rarely drives it........It's like a savings account to him I think.

I also have a buddy with a nearly totally orginal and correct '70 Boss 429 Mustang. I don't think it has seen the light of day in 20+ years. It was once appraised at something like $50K but that was a long time ago......He syas it's his retirement..........

I have a friend and neighbor that collects 63-67 vettes as well as selling them . He has them from $38,000.00 and up (35 of them )..... All are drivers and some are restored as B J cars ....He would beat B J's prices all day long........

[Stick Racing]

I have a friend in western Md who was and maybe still is one better known guys in NCRS.
Last I heard he has somewhere north of 45 Corvettes in his garage. They are all 1-3's on a 1-5 scale. I hate show up at his house cause I know what the outcome will be.

I will never forget the sound of that 63 fuel car with the gas pedal on the floor.

Me 2 but the price went up to much for me since the last time it was advertised.

Its official!!! Craig Jackson "the blowhard of arizona" just LOST 2.0 million dollars!!!!

His pride and joy 1970 plymouth hemi cuda convertable just dropped 2.0
million in value. A original 1970 plymouth hemi cuda convertable ( the last one produced in 1970)authenticated by Galen Govier on hand himself just sold @ Russo&Steele 1.55 mil.
I guess this means his bubble has burst and a hemi challenger convertable failed to meet reserve @ $750,000.00. Working in the collector car dealer biz myself we saw a HUGE drop in attendance at all the auctions this year. & no real money bidders to speak of. Other than the prearranged sales @ Barretts..
In this market a car is only worth the what the market will bear. Now we know the market has let Craig "Jokeson "know what it is instead of him dictating it.
