Ray Allen/Briggs Chevrolet SS454

[Paul Ceasrine]

Did anyone notice that Ray Allen's/Briggs Chevrolet SS454 SS/EA
(Killer Car) was recently sold at an RM Auction.
Back in 2006 at Barrett-Jackson, Scottsdale, Arizona it sold for
$1,150,000 (including commision $1,240,000).
Anyone remember the two nice guys that went crazy on that car, when the bidding stalled at $300,000.
Well it just sold for $264,000.
I wonder if the guy who bought it at Barrett-Jackson (who was stirred into a frenzy during the bidding back in 2006 by the B-J auctioneers) will be sending them a Christmas Gift this year.

Its because of BS like Barrett Jackson and the collector whores who know nothing about cars trying to make a quick buck is the reason the poor working class cannot aford a nice street ride or race car unless they bend over and grab their ankels. The IDIOT who bought that car for over a million is just dumb as a post. Same goes for all of the other so called collector cars. How many Hemis are sitting in a climate controled garage when they should be on the race track.

I had heard a rumor that the guy that bought it from Barrret Jackson restored the car back to FACTORY specs...

This would explain the price difference if that was true.

I believe it was restored before Barret Jackson as the announced the lettering was stick on and easily removable

I agree-They have taken the average guy out of it,grabbed the baby boomers who are scared of getting old and have a whole lot of money and have hosed the whole works for us. Same old crap. Doug Schriener

I was told a good majority (maybe ALL) of these were owned and sold by
a Mr. Guffy from the midwest...

I thought it odd that the Yellow '56 Chevy Jr.Stocker that sold last years BJ
for near $44 - 45,000, again sold for that kind of money here at this R&M.

And just Plain SICK. A fool and his money are soon parted.

The guy who bought the Ray Allen Chevelle has a net worth of $800 million. I doubt he cared how much he lost. He had his 15 minutes of television fame..........
