Re: Barrett Jackson Max Wedge

Good call on the customs being the big sellers. 

Even the original 1965 Plymouth A-990 altered wheelbase car was only around the 
$70,000 area.

All in all, it looks to me that prices are still down.  Biggest seller was 
around $300,000.  No mega-million sales this year.  Hope this is only an 
indication of the current economy and not the continuation of a permanent 
downward spiral on prices for our cars. While my '65s are not investments, I 
sure wouldn't want to sell them for $10-15,000.

One thing to consider is that all cars at the sale are not #1 or even solid 
#2s.  When we went there a couple of years ago, we looked at a '65 Satellite 
that looked great in the pictures and even on camera but was a weak #2 car at 
best.
