Some of those creations were simply mind boggling...someone brought a just completed Boydster (whatever that is) and it went for 90k...bet it cost more to build it...

Have to admit that some of those customs are pretty sweet. I did like that "Whatthehay" Boyd car.....

That car was absolutely stunning. The only problem is after seeing Boyd's TV show, I know the BS craftmanship that went into building that thing. Brock Yates is talking about how people are paying the big dollars for Boyd's cars because of his exceptional craftmanship when in reality, his cars are built by a bunch of cry baby 20 year olds.

THIS WAS MY FIRST YEAR AT BJ I TOOK THE BLUE JL-8 WITH THE CROSSRAM. I CAN SAY MY CAR WAS ONE OF THE NICEST Z-28S THERE AND BY FAR THE MOST ORIGINAL. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW A CAR WITH A REPRO CROSSRAM AND OTHER NON ORIGINAL PEICES CAN SELL OF 70 TO 90K. I BOUGHT MY CAR BACK FROM BARRETT-JACKSON. I FEEL LIKE THE AUCTION DID NOT WORK THE CAR FOR THE $ IT IS WORTH, MOST OF THE Z-28S THERE WERE NOT THE CALIBUR OF MY MY CAR IN OPINION. 16K IS A LOT OF $ FOR 2 MINUTES OF ACTION. I ASSUME THEY HAVE HAVE NOT POSTED MY CAR AS SOLD BECAUSE I HAVE NOT PAID THE 16K COMMISSION.

Sorry the car didn't bring what you were hoping it would. I can't figure it out. Cars with non original motor and modified Offenhauser crossram gets $79K but your car with all rare GM parts and original motor only goes up to $100K. I just don't get it.

I think a few people got less for their cars than anticipated,some will be unwilling to gamble if they continue with no reserve.The format last year was better for sellers who had the option of lowering the reserve during the auction,but it is decidedly anticlimactic for viewers so it doesn't seem likely to change

On the bright side Muscle is the future of this auction

Some people say the bubble will burst. I kind of doubt it because the people who are buying now can hold on to them through thick and thin. My dream hemi car is turning into a nightmare...why didn't I buy ten years ago....oh, I remember...I couldn't justify what they were bringing even then! Idiot!

Don't you hate when you're behind the price curve! I wanted to buy a beach house on Long Beach Island here in NJ and I was sooooo close about 7 years ago. Now the curve has headed upwards so fast I doubt it will ever happen.

The prices have not sky rocked to the point of unaffordable.
It's been that way for a long time. 1969 I lived in Burlington,Ia 40 miles from Fred Gibb. The ZL-1 were 7,800 dollars, then I couldn't afford one and 12-31-02 I was their for the new 2002 Camaro ZL-1 and I still can't afford one so nothing has changed.

GRB · #**100** 01-31-2005, 08:05 PM

Kim, I too would have bought a ZL1. Didn't have the brains. Bought an 02 GMMG ZL1 in which I will soon have $150k invested (bad choice of words). Which proves I still have no brains!!!

Yep, got carried away.
