Hey everyone don't forget if your interested if you like Barrett-Jackson auto auction its on Speed channel all week.

[3fanforever]

Yep, and the "Intimidator" Camaro goes on the main stage at 7:00 Eastern Time tomorrow night (Saturday). I'm pretty curious to see what the winning bid will be.

Thanks 3FF. I do like watching that show but I never do it with any regularity. It'll be interesting to see what that rig goes for.

I like watching it! That show gets addicting! I watched it for 5 hours last night! Mad because I'm at work now and its been on since 2p! Shoot! LOL!

I watched one the other night, a black '69 Firebird, mild custom. only got $30K ... 'twas disappointing - a good looking car with a first class makeover... was followed by an early "goat" (GTO for the uninitiated), nasty mustard tan color. didn't like it so clicked to ... one of those 150 places on the remote - don't remember which.

I've been watching this and it's pretty incredible. One of Tony Stewart's #20 Home Depot cars just sold for $300,000. That included a photo-op with Tony, who was there on stage, a full race suit and helmet Tony wore during a race, and a diamond ring Tony wore to some award banquet. The money goes to the Darrell Gwynnn Foundation, who was also there on stage. Pretty cool! And I'm really impressed with how knowledgeable Mike Joy is about some of these cars and what's going on.

Must be nice. Stewart has the highest selling car so far @ $300,000 for his race car, and he's won the bid on two other cars:

$80,000 for a 1950 Custom Chopped Mercury 2 Door Coupe:

$120,000 for a 1967 Pontiac GTO 2 Door Hardtop:

I have watched this all week. The cars during the week wasn't going for any where near where they should have.
Although they did have some stupid cars earlier. Like the Mustang that was a lawn mower.

The Merc is like a NASCAR vehicle. Looks like a 50 Merc but is anything but that.

At $80K, IMNSVHO, Smoke stole it. If the owner did all the work himself. I'd guess that there is probably at least 2000 hours of work on the body alone. If you figure your "hobby time" is worth $20/hr, that $40K alone. Then figure at least that amount for the interior, then money spent on the engine installation, chrome, paint, blasting and cleaning the undercarriage, exhaust system, etc., etc. Anyway, Smoke got a deal.

Speaking from a bit of personal experience, if you do any vehicle customizing on your own car, you do for the love of the car, not profit.

They just said the motor that's in the "Intimidator" Camaro they're auctioning off tonight, is the same motor that was in the #3 Dale ran at the 2000 Daytona 500. And whoever wins it, gets another motor that can be run on the street, in addition to the one that's in there now. That makes this Camaro a one of a kind.
