G-bodies at Barrett-Jackson 2018

Barrett Jackson starts Tuesday with a bunch of low mile GN's coming out of the woodwork:

Lot 182 - 87 GN with 13K miles - Tuesday

Lot 407 - 87 GN with 23K miles - Wednesday

These two GN's are even being sold by the same outfit in Lincoln, NE:

Lot 559 - 87 GN with 7,400 Miles - Wednesday

Lot 1554 - 87 GN with 5,700 miles - Sunday

They even use the same underhood pictures.

Then there are two GNX's:

Lot 1307.1 - 87 GNX #375 - Saturday

Lot 1327 - 87 GNX #003 with 10K miles - Saturday

For considerably less money, you can get a 33K Mile Regal Limited with the T package:

Lot 347 - 87 Regal Limited T with 33K miles - Wednesday

And the only non buick G-body I could find: the Prestone Monte Carlo SS:

Lot 3004 - 87 Monte Carlo Aerocoupe for Charity (TGen foundation) - Thursday

They should all bring good money, with the stock market at record highs and Good Guys letting them all in for 2018. We shall see this week.

What size tires did a GNX ride on?

I used to restore mopars. It really sucks when you can't justify to your wife buying the parts your car needs to work because it will cost more than the car is worth... and you'd have to part it out in order to get your money back.

'70 Cuda440's weren't ALWAYS $100K. They were $5-7K for nice drivers and $12K max all up fully concourse restored in my recent past. Have you ever tried to do a concourse level restoration on any car for $7K? It just not possible.

Barrett-Jackson didn't make parts to restore a mopar more expensive (It actually made them cheaper and more available), but it DID make it possible to restore a Mopar without being independently wealthy (because you could actually sell it for a profit).

The idiots that pay too much for cars on B-J couldn't restore a car to save their life. That means they aren't interested in the vast amount of $1K to $2K project cars out there OR even better the project cars that somebody has $10K-$20K in that they have to sell for $5K-$7K because B-J people don't want those, either.

More money coming into the hobby is always a good thing. When someone pays $100K for a classic muscle car at B-J, My only hope is to someday line up next to him at a track in my T-Type I have about $12K total in, to show him money can't buy you brains.
