RE: [Chrysler300] Barrettt Jackson Chrysler 300 results?

["Larry Nirenberg" <lnirenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I too was a bit disappointed by the results for the 2 Gs but I think reality
and BJ results are not always one and the same.  I watched what appeared to
be a very nice and well documented '70 LS6 Chevelle go for $82K (I think on
Thursday?) and another seemingly no better go for 50% more. Often its just a
matter of timing and in the end I think a lot of what goes on there is
(pardon the expression) a big dick competition by collectors who's egos
require an audience.  Like a house, the market only really matters to any of
us if we're sellers but the higher prices help us feel better about all the
money we throw into our cars.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Barrettt Jackson Chrysler 300 results?

 


I have only looked quickly at some of BJ Auction results so far, but it
seems last years 300G convertible prices are not repeated this time? Both
cars offered that I saw were red - one with white top, the other black. Both
seemed good cars from what they said about them, but members in US may know
more?

And also results for a '57 and a '60 New Yorker converts were posted this
morning, oddly to me, the '57 bringing more than the '60 ?! I say this
because the 57 was a maybe less sought after color, than the 60, which
seemed a very well known car ? But then the 57 had chrome wires, with large
whitewalls - is that the key to selling 50s- 60s Mopars/300s ??! Or are
maybe the hemi cars, 300s, now as keenly sought as the 60-61 ram cars?

Overall, it seemed the real 'rare star cars' of last year's BJ were a bit
thinner number wise, and maybe if prices a bit lower, that a reason?

Here in Australia our recent mania, stupidity?, for paying just under a
million dollars for low production 67-71 aussie 4 door sedans, coupes, has
seen some now start saying the few sales at these prices have been driven by
maybe guys who have as syndicates maybe up to 15 of these they plan to sell
- at they hope the high prices they have helped 'create' ? 
Regards any 300, over here the cost of fully restoring any car is outrageous
re ever higher costs/prices, and no doubt any 300 of the first 7 years is
going to cost big bucks to concours restore wherever in the world?

No one plans to sell ( most 300reders that is I assume), but if one can
recover the often more than I thought it would initially cost, then that is
some compensation?

Anyone else got any thoughts re BJ 2008, and what 300 values are doing, say
versus other car values/costs?
