I've posted some pictures I took at the Barrett Jackson auction last month at https://www.coldplugs.com/bj2008.htm
The picture quality is generally poor, since (1) they are from a cell phone in low light and (2) I took them. I was surprised at the number of cars that sold for what seemed to be reasonable prices and there were even a few bargains.
Overall, this isn't an event for LBC people but it's great fun nevertheless. The vendor displays were outstanding. I got my fill of re-creations and retro-rods early on but did make some potentially useful contacts and bought some tools.
Re the pictures, there are no captions but I'll comment on a few of the cars:
The Anglia was a "woodie" in great shape. It sold for $15,000.
The yellow Morgan was flawless and went for $28K.
The Morris Minor truck looked perfect and sold for $26K.
My favorite was the dual-cowl Duesenberg - beer budget and champagne taste. It went for a million.
The '32 Ford chassis was built for display.
The customized 300SL belonged to Alice Cooper.
I don't think any of the Porsches pictured were original - all are modern repros.
I loved seeing the restored spark plug sandblasters (there's a picture of one) and was tempted. Maybe next year.
