and i did buy that car. Had a friend in from Boise (Mustang Mark) and we attended
BJ on Tuesday and Thursday and this off the hook car show in Scottsdale on the
Saturday he arrived and the Saturday before he flew back to Boise

Mark my wife and i were on the lookout at the auction for Mustangs and in particular
Fox body cars and we did not see much.An occasional convertible and SVO but
no SSP cars not even a suspect coupe! at a Friday Night cruse in on the West side
of town we seen the most Fox cars of the entire week including a 93 non SSP coupe
The media here reported record sales and attendance at Barrett Jackson but to me
it did not seem as energy charged as it had in the past. Mustang Mark had a great time
i think he probably seen more collector cars in the week he was here than he has seen
in his 60 years on earth. It's a bucket list item for sure .

That looks like a really nice show, Andy. I wish our local cruise/show happened every weekend. Ours is only one weekend a month during the warmer months. Glad to hear you all had a good time!

It's interesting that you write that. Of course watching on TV is tough to judge at best, but I kept thinking the same thing each day I tuned in to the event. At the time thought maybe the energy just wasn't resonating through the TV.

Thanks.....we did
I was thinking about putting something together next year
for .net visitors to Arizona
Barrett Jackson was not the only Auction in town. we have
Allot a great car shows And plenty of stuff to do and see here.
and especially nice to visit here if your coming from the cold country.
bring the wife and or girlfriend or the wife and girlfriend (as long as
the wife doesn't mind) People watching is also interesting at the
auctions. It's fun to see how the elite (in their own minds) tend to look
down at you as a spectator. They think that if your not wearing A bidders
pass on a lanyard around your neck that you are from the un washed group
AKA Just A spectator. I do that one better. I get in for Free AND bring
friends in with me!

After 30+ years of attending this event i have seen allot a changes like
Internet bids and third party proxy bids. Nothing like electronic
push button bidding existed back then. If you wanted the dam car you
were up on the ramp making sure you were seen and heard!
and after a good fight the audience would sometimes applaud
also allot a phony cars that are groomed for the sale. AKA tribute cars
no past no hart no soul.

clown cars are everywhere these days and the sellers try to hype them and ask big money. Unfortunate but part of the game today.
