I don't know how many of you follow Barrett Jackson, but every time it comes on I get addicted lol. My TV's don't normally leave the speed channel while it's on. Anyway, last night there were a couple of interesting sales that I though I'd share..

The first was an old K5. For the shape it was in I'd say the buyer got a steal.

Anyone ever had the chance to go to Barrett Jackson? I'd love to make it some day.

 

That's a pretty nice K5 & Typhoon!

 

I agree. I was amazed that K5 still had original paint in that condition. And the Typhoon is just nuts how much is original and how little miles are on it.

 

seems to be a trend at Barrett Jackson in the past year or so more and more trucks have been rolling across the auction block.

That was another nice one that went.

 

couple of nice Found On Road Deads went last night too

 

some nice trucks. That silverado looks awsome.

 

very nice, that K5 is awesome, i bought my 03 for that much haha.

but that silverado custom has tonnnnnnnnns of money into it, holy cow!
that guy gotta nice truck to show off! to some of those guys, $20 000 is pocket change!

I've seen some guys, cant remember their names off hand, that buy a handful of car each costing around $100 000 and act like they just bought a gumball.

 

a lot of the "bidders at barrett jackson are actually hired buyers for other people they buy cars for like 6 or 7 people so of course its no big thing for them to buy 5 cars each costing
100k-300k
