Barrett-Jackson Auction

Just tore myself away from the teli to see a 1962 BT7 tri-carb fetch $70,000.USD. Not a bad start considering it wasn't a "Curt Tanner" resto. I love giving this kinda information to my wife so that she doesn't get quit as upset with me when a new item or two comes across the Visa statement. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
 
Re: Day One - Barrett-Jackson Auction

Guys - Check out Reid's blog, he has super pics of the car - and lots of the detail stuff.
It is truly Reid's professional way of doing things - A job well done. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
just a side comment, Reid should dump Ron Phillips and convince his new friend to become a healey owner - just check out the reid's marque blog

Your right their were some great buys and the jag was one of them! I was shocked to see a Hemi clone catch over $100K Are these people nuts or what? The green BJ8 was just there for eye candy and I believe it will come across some time today. Should be an interesting day!

Now when we see a Healey go over $100K I think it 'll be a good time to let my wife know about the new ali head that's coming! On second thought maybe not /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif

O.K. I'll bite. My guess will be $58K based on the color. Resale red seems to do so much better. Let the flame's begin! Oddly enough you really don't see to many two tones color combo's. I wonder why?

For the most part I agree with you but I've seen some very good buys as well! You'd never be able to touch some of the hours that have been put in some of the older resto rods.

Re: Day One - Barrett-Jackson Auction

Mad river, what year is you BJ? Single lights but larger than mine. I'd guess early 64? Its a beauty and I love the color.
 
Re: Day One - Barrett-Jackson Auction

Now, if the Dukes of Hazzard, Nash Bridges,and Route 66 drove Healeys we'd all be rich. But that doesn't explain the Fiat/Ghia "golf cart" thing some cute blond bought for 40K.
 
Re: Day One - Barrett-Jackson Auction

Tahoe Healey

Just think what you really could have bought for $40K

It just don't make no sense other than some people just got to much $$$$$$$$$

Re: Day One - Barrett-Jackson Auction

I'm to old to adopt but I am willing to give up my body all in the name of Austin Healey! I don't want to sound to selfish but I should ad for the female persuasion only! Sorry guy's!
