Having attended the last three Barrett-Jackson auctions (including yesterday), I can provide some insight: For the most part, Clint is right. People are flying in to this thing in private jets, helicopters, luxury motor coaches - you name it. It would be difficult to find a more gaudy, vulgar display of wealth anywhere on the planet. Dusenburgs, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Roll-Royce and Packard. The wealthy can revel in their flamboyance. And they do. But, there are deals to be had for the average Joe looking for a project. There are plenty of cars that don't make the auction block, but just sit with a sign and a price - sometimes a good one. Often, you'll have to inquire. Parts can be found, too. "The Arizona Republic", Phoenix's largest newspaper usually has two, maybe three columns of Classified Ads for "Classics/Antique" cars. For several weeks around this time of year, there's almost two full pages of classified ads! Much of it is local iron - coming out of the woodwork for the auction season. My sons and I sometimes even just drive over to the site and park. We just sit and watch (and listen) to the cars coming into and out of the grounds - like the 427 Pantera yesterday. I'd seen it inside and was glad to get to hear it drive past. Chevy or not, a car like that will bring on the wood, if you know what I mean. Money or no money, buying or selling, looking, tire-kicking or not, the Barrett-Jackson is an event not to be missed if you're anywhere in a 1000 mile radius.
