The finical markets during the pandemic have created tremendous wealth for some people. We're going to see a few of these high end TV auctions yield some stunning results for a while longer. |

It will not be so pleasant for those of us down "in the trenches". Face it : the "Barret Jackson Guys" are not car guys, they're financial manipulators. The sooner we realize this and divorce ourselves from this crap, the better off we'll be. I would be willing to bet that none of those buying and selling the high end cars there have never even touched the cars, much less worked on them. Rant over. |

Exactly right. They are investors, period. It's only about the money, nothing else. They buy policies from Lloyds of London and don't give a damn if their garages burn to the ground.

Re: '47 Ford Woodie at BJ auction yesterday.
Such a different reality. My knuckles know every nut and every bolt personally on my meager stable. If it burned down tonight I'd be out maybe 25 grand, but I would be devastated. Real car guys don't wear gold chains. So for these investors, it's like they are buying hog futures?

Re: '47 Ford Woodie at BJ auction yesterday.
The 1947 Ford "Woodie" was from the Edsel Ford II collection. He had the car modified with a 302 engine, automatic trans and all the modern conveniences. Jack Roush Racing did all the mechanicals. I think it went for $150K. He also sold his 1958 Edsel Bermuda station wagon in the auction.

Re: '47 Ford Woodie at BJ auction yesterday.
Nope. 1.5 times that $150K is much closer. $209K hammer, plus the 10% fee (I'm assuming) makes it closer to $229K. Add taxes and transport to get it to your shop. Yikes.
P.T. Barnum knew the right customers! Those whales in Scottsdale are a whole industry into themselves.

Re: '47 Ford Woodie at BJ auction yesterday.
That's amazing. I am asking only $29k for my '47 convertible, which is priced lower than Hemmings and other sources.

Re: '47 Ford Woodie at BJ auction yesterday.
my eyes must be deceiving me. a ford owned woodie with a late model motor discussed on the ford barn!!
Bill, I am with you, the "provenance" must have some value to someone. otherwise it looks like every other 46 48 ford woodie to me!
