How many Hemis are sitting in a climate controled garage when they should be on the race track.

I agree-They have taken the average guy out of it,grabbed the baby boomers who are scared of getting old and have a whole lot of money and have hosed the whole works for us. Same old crap. Doug Schriener

when this loads "Skip The Intro'

I was told a good majority (maybe ALL) of these were owned and sold by
a Mr. Guffy from the midwest...

I thought it odd that the Yellow '56 Chevy Jr.Stocker that sold last years BJ
for near $44 - 45,000, again sold for that kind of money here at this R&M.

And just Plain SICK. A fool and his money are soon parted.

The guy who bought the Ray Allen Chevelle has a net worth of $800 million. I doubt he cared how much he lost. He had his 15 minutes of television fame..........

From what I understand he owns the Discovery Channel,or some other similar company.I know people associated with Ray Allens car and they believe the BJ sale was a scam.He also owns the GM
Motorana bus from a few years ago.His car collection is in the high 100s.I bet he can't name 10 cars that he owns.BJ,dicks like this guy and Reggie Jackson are a reason the average guy can't touch a
desirable muscle car anymore.

I saw the chevelle at Englishtown and the Briggs lettering was on one side of the car only.And any of the "good" motors are long gone.

If I could just find the clothes I was wearing when I dug around thru the Chevelle looking for my tire pressure gauge that Ray borrowed.......I could auction them off.......Clothes that touched the Briggs Chevelle in 1970.

I think Ray told me the glovebox door used to fly open and the stuff that was in there flu out......

Terry most of these guy spending that kind of money with Barrett- Jackson probably lost more in the stock market than on the cars they bought and sold. Some felt the pain others did not.

Help me with some history on this car---waaaaay back in about 1973ish hadn't this car passed to Claude urvig (sp?) and was wearing white paint with a white roof-or was he in a different car altogether? it was still heavily associated with T-K of course......anyone remember?

Yes..the former
It was converted to a 71 by the time Tommy Camperlengo had it

It's not tjust the aucrions, like Barrett/Jackson. The whole car restorartion thing got way out of hand, years ago, and created the "matching numbers" atmosphere that drove prices through the roof for some basically, ordinary cars. Nice cars, yes, fully restored, yes, but why should a "showroom restoration" be worth five to six times what it cost, brand new???

I remember that in about 1968, or so, you could buy all the '57 Chevy convertibles and Bel Air two-door hardtops you wanted for about $400,00 apiece. Now, look at them...
It's absurd...
