Barrett Jackson is a ripoff if you are selling a Pontiac collector
car. The only auction to go to if you want to sell a nice GTO is Mecum.......
GTO's bring much better money there, and you are allowed to post a reserve
on the car so you can't get hosed. I remember last year when a gorgeous
numbers matching 65 GTO sold for less than the cost of it's paint job at
Barrett Jackson. A man could make a killing going to Barrett Jackson, buying
GTO's at fire sale prices then taking them to Mecum and unloading them. This
could be the basis of a very successful business! They couldn't show the
the GTO last night but they did find time to feature two Volkswagen "Things"
going across the block! Somebody get a rope! Look at the world record prices
the Randy Williams estate cars brought at Mecum. They wouldn't have brought squat at Barrett Jackson. As a matter of fact, the 61 Ventura out of the Randy Williams
collection brought more than double the money of the Ram 4 GTO that sold at Barrett
Jackson last night. In the real world, no 61 Ventura is worth double the price of a
Ram 4 GTO.
