914World.com _ 914World Garage _ I went to Barrett Jackson today
Posted by: MW 914 Jan 20 2006, 04:31 PM
Here comes a TON of pics so give me some time to get them all up. The quality of cars was amazing. I would say that 99.999% of them are worthy of a full feature article in a magazine.
Here is what greeted you at the door.

I have to go to a Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction one of these years. I swap with someone for on call week so I can sit around and watch the coverage on Speed. I usually get to see 80% of it.
Thanks for the pics Mike!

its a roots supercharger. back in the day it was common to see them mounted like this. coupled right off of the crank. streamliners and speed record cars ran them this way to keep the package low profile.

Thanks for sharing your photos Mike. It's nice to see things other than Porsches all the time. Some big money down there now. I watched on SPEED for a little while last night and saw a 57 Bel Air ragtop go for $105K. Wouldn't it be fun to have that much discretionary cash?

Nice pictures of some interesting machines. Barrett Jackson is very funny, last year I saw some guy pay 2 million dollars for an Osmobile prototype. I figure that would buy about 50 914/6's
Posted by: dan10101 Jan 20 2006, 11:19 PM
Actually it was 3 million. But who's counting.. 
He did it to become a celebrity I'm sure. It worked. Now everyone in the world thinks he's bonkers. The funny thing is, someone else bid against him up til about 2.7mil. He jumped the final bid 300,000.
Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 21 2006, 10:38 AM
he was caught in the classic "don't chase the bid syndrome". appearently he had enough and turned the tables. i guess he showed the guy he was in the bidding war with, a $300k move. only added what? $24k to the buyer's premium.

Posted by: richardmosselman Jan 21 2006, 10:45 AM
There's a show on SPEED-behind the scenes @ B-Jackson. The Ferrari clad guy is apparently the buyer for a new museum in Colorado. The other bidder had actually stopped bidding way earlier but Ferrari guy egged him on so much that he got P-Oed and jumped back in. Ferrari guy could have got it for way less-his bosses must not be too happy!

i went last year.... for some reason i didnt feel like going this year... it was cool last year but being too poor to even consider most of the cars.... i got depressed. and there were TOO many people the day i went.
btw, southwest airlines.... phx to denver is 49 each way + tax. buy your ticket for next year!
