      The Barrett Jackson auction is a lot of hype over overpriced US muscle cars.

      Sometimes two buyers get into a pissing contest and try to outbid each other. Their egos get in the way, and they are paying ridiculous prices.

      Caroll Shelby's personal Cobra, which is worth $500K, maybe $600K, because it was his personal car, went for $5MM, because neither buyer wanted to give up

        A yellow 250 GT Cali Spider (LWB + open headlights) went for 3 mill.

          Production number 1 of the new Corvette ZR1 went yesterday for $1MM (plus 10% buyers premium).

          Anything over $100,000 went to charity, and therefor is tax deductible. An interesting way to give money away.

            To an extent I agree, but there's still some cool stuff out there every year and I don't know if you've ever been to it, but it's quite the spectacle. The scale of it compared to the other valley auctions is on a whole nother level. Though, that also has it's downsides.

            Here's links to the Spyker pics. Not the greatest conditions, but hey, I tried.

            Thanks again for making a thread basman. I've updated most of the galleries in addition to adding all of the results that are available so far.

            EDIT: Oh, and beautiful car F Spider.

                So is one of these 2 cars #148, that Dan told us he received for the Auctions? Are these factory demonstrators? Press cars like Rijk's 107? I'm asking because I can see the cars are (apparently) standing on the Park Place stand. And they themselves have #128 on sale, but it is not at the show?
