The BJ auction can get out of control with the cash and the silly screaming. It is difficult to see old cars going for that much cash, especially since I grew up around many 1966 Olds Toronados. I understand the demand is very high and the supply is dwindling after 30+ years but isn't the money out of control at times? A Nomad went for $60,000.00 right before a run-of-the-mill custom chopper went for $50,000.00. In that case, did the Nomad buyer get a good deal or was the chopper buyer just foolish? I continue to tune in because there is some wild stuff like a 30's-era Chrylser Airflow street rod with a Viper V10 engine. It went for Half a mil, though.... http://www.timshotrods.com/ http://www.barrett-jackson.com/about/pressreleases/BJCCA05-wrap.asp I watch Barrett Jackson occasionally, but sometimes I have to turn it off as fast as the times I tune in expecting motorcycle programming but find NASCAR 24/7.
