			The bidding was appearently up to 89k and stalled out 
reserve 110 , did not sell. 
Sort of disapointing you might think. 
 
This is what some press guy had to say below! 
 
HOT OFF THE PRESS REPORT FROM THE BARRETT-JACKSON 
Mark C Bach 
 
Well folks the Barrett-Jackson auction is in full swing.  3,000  
bidders 
(paying $300 a pass) were expected over the four days to bid overly  
$30 
million on cars.  If you had access to the Speed Channel on cable you  
saw 
expanded coverage including an eye ball popping six hours on Friday 
alone!  Thursday had a light rain but didn't detract too many folks  
from 
coming and the cloudy skies on Friday morning soon departed to a 
brilliant sunny day.  Barrett Jackson had to scurry to find some  
pumps to 
remove some rain water and a few spots were "slippery when wet" (after 
all, the main sale area is a polo field) but Barrett Jackson, as  
always 
kept a firm hand on things and had a great first two days of 
auctioneering. 
 
No surprise that a 69 brown Camaro "COPO" that didn't sell at last  
week's 
Silver Auction was at Barrett-Jackson, where it didn't sell AGAIN!   
Ouch, 
the bidder had a $110,000 reserve at Silver and after failing to raise 
sufficient interest, was in the unsold corral with a requested price  
of 
$99,995 (heck why not ask for an even $100K?).  I'm not sure this COPO 
will ever sell that high when outfitted with a burnt brown paint, but  
of 
course if you paint it a more eye appealing color, you lose the 
authenticity.
