Must have missed that one Bob....what was the deal on it anyhow????

[Dave Severson]

Anybody else doing the fantasy bid deal??? I've only bid on 10 cars, and have a pitiful score of only 260 points.... Doesn't look like I'll be winning the trip to New York to drive all the exotic cars.....Oh well...

Kind of wondered the same thing especially after it aired more than once.

Yup, definitely a buyers year for sure!!!! and here I sit with money wrapped up in four different projects and not a dollar to spare in spite of how cheap some of the cars went for--especially some of the Tuesday & Wednesday cars....betcha there was some real deals then that didn't make TV time!!!!!

I only caught the last two days of this year's auction, and did see a couple of the big ticket cars go out. On the other hand I saw a lot of cars going for what seemed like low dollars, especially some rods that cost a lot more to build than what they sold for.

Anyway, today, having a few minutes of downtime, I decided to browse through some of the earlier sales days to see what was selling and to see if any of the cars I like were sold. Well I got a helluva surprise. On Wednesday (1/14/09) a 1934 Plymouth PE Deluxe, 4 door, all steel streetrod sold for $63,800! It had a SBC with a 700r tranny, IFS, with disc in front and drums in the rear, and all of the usually goodies like a/c, GM tilt steering, power driver's seat, seat belts, aluminum wheels, etc.

Let's see, that sounds very familiar, except that mine is a 2 dr, with a TH400, and a Vette IRS and discs in the rear. Either the buyer who paid that price for that car was smoking something really good or mine is way under insured.

Gotta love Barrett Jackson. Like they say "ain't no business like show business!
