Title: Barret Jackson
Post by: Russ on January 05, 2006, 08:47:18 AM
i don't know why but i am always glued to the T.V. when the barret auction is on.mabey i dream if i had unlimited money what would i buy? anybody else watch this?
there are 11 vw's listed all no reserve (i'm sure none are high profile enough to make t.v.) but you never know.

I just watched a bunch of episodes, it was there maraton or something on Speed TV. I personally think these guys are responsible for putting muscle cars out of reach to the majority of people. The prices are crazy but like people say, its worth what ever someone will pay for it !

In terms of the VW's listed, your probably right in that they likely won't get any air time when you consider there going to be up against cars that will draw over $100 k.
Having said that, I'll probably follow up to see what the 53, 63 rag's as well as the 56 vert went for.
