Re: Real A990 Coronet at Barrett-Jackson
I stayed up to date on both the latest Mecum at Kissimmee and the Barrett-Jackson auctions. I noticed the restored factory racecars and high performance cars were more numerous and brought more money at Mecum. Barrett-Jackson on the other hand seemed to have more resto mod versions of the same style cars and brought high selling prices for those type cars.

Re: Real A990 Coronet at Barrett-Jackson
I couldn't help but think as that nice black 61 bubbletop 409 went across that the guy could have got more with an LS swapped in and 20" wheels.
And if you ever nagged on a friend for trading in his Superbird plus cash to buy a new Blazer or Bronco in the mid 70's... well he gets the last laugh. |

Yes what was it, three or four years ago if anything was modified on a car it would kill the price.
Now a well modernized car is what brings top dollar at least at this auction. |

Light weight MoPars are selling for a fraction of what they brought 10-15 years ago.

Re: Real A990 Coronet at Barrett-Jackson
I just don`t get it, When an Elenore, which is a fictional Shelby Mustang recreation of a recreation of a fictional movie brings more money than what THREE real Shelby Mustangs go for, the world is out of wack. And when two aluminum nose Max Wedge MoPars can`t get 1/2 as much as a Volkswagen Van does, I just shake my head.

My new Challenger T/A that I drive daily gets way more attention from those of similar age to me than my '65 Coronet street beater. I prefer the Coronet, and I'm in the "Under 40" age bracket. I personally enjoy watching the prices tank on these cars, as I was never in it for the money, but the fact that I enjoy early Mopars. |

Re: Real A990 Coronet at Barrett-Jackson
I have always admired the folks that have raced their light weight cars. Hopefully more will race now.
