Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2014

Barrett-Jackson, WestWorld, Scottsdale, Arizona, January 14-19, 2014

Report and photos by Rick Carey, Auction Editor

Barrett-Jackson opened a completely revised auction site in 2014.

Gone was the famed giant fabric covered auction arena with its huge American flag. Gone were the flood prone preview tents in the ‘Polo Field’ catchment basin. Gone were the rows of plastic and trailer potties.

The new site is anchored by a sparkling new permanent auction arena lavishly equipped with the latest high-tech sound, video and communications gimmickry and, it was noted proudly by Craig Jackson, extensive permanent toilets designed to meet the needs of the huge Barrett-Jackson crowd. A row of temporary structures that qualified for a Guinness record, eight tenths of a mile from the spectator entrance to the last row of cars, housed the premier consignments – as well as a continuous array of vendor and sponsor displays vying for the attention and dollars of the Barrett-Jackson bidders, their guests and hundreds of thousands of walk-in day trippers.

Between the auction complex and a row of more tents every one of the 1,403 cars consigned had a place under cover.

It was a nearly miraculous make-over completed in the less than one year since the last hammer fell at Barrett-Jackson’s 2013 WestWorld auction. If there were glitches in the implementation they were essentially invisible, a credit to Barrett-Jackson’s organization and the dedication of its team.

Barrett-Jackson included seventy-five ‘Salon’ lots and all but four of them found new homes, adding the cream of the crop of hyper-rare American muscle and classics to the selection offered to B-J’s eclectic audience. The return of great classics to Barrett-Jackson is one of the most important sub-topics of the WestWorld sale’s development over the past few years.

Overall Barrett-Jackson sold 99.7% of the cars offered, achieving another record sale of $111,023,715, a total up a bit from the early post-sale totals after some significant post-block sales. The revised total is up 8.2% from 2013 and 22.6% from 2012, a number that rivals the last two years’ growth in China’s GDP.

Other things changed, too, and not for the better.

Media were denied access to the auction arena and to the ‘Salon’ cars, resulting in the ‘Restricted access, not viewed closely’ description of a number of the Salon cars. The limitation is a disservice to the wider audience for Barrett-Jackson’s premier event. The cars can’t be observed and reported, a restriction that serves no purpose. Where the cars were displayed close to the limiting barriers they were reported somewhat more accurately, but even then without access to important details. The block itself was totally out of bounds: no experiencing the high-octane excitement that lends flavor to any Barrett-Jackson event report.

All things considered, though, the new Barrett-Jackson WestWorld event was a further step forward – maybe even a leap forward – in the Barrett-Jackson collector car event presentation. The restrictions on reporting it may call into question ‘what’s behind the curtain’, but what’s out front is a spectacular celebration of car collecting and the joy it brings to its participants.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2014 – Auction Report

Lot #1 1981 Cadillac Seville 4-Dr. Sedan; S/N 1G6AS6998BE683089; Light Green, , Metallic Grey/Green leather; Visually maintained, largely original, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $1,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $1,100. No Reserve– 4-6-8 FI engine, automatic, P/S, P/B, etc. Rebuilt title. – Tired but sound old car with a chipped, dull old repaint and sound but worn original interior. – This may be a new record for a dismal opening car at Barrett-Jackson, the kind of beater that is usually found in Salvation Army charity donation sales. It’s surprising there was any money for it at all but driven to the airport and left in long-term parking it is virtually certain to be there upon returning; no one would bother stealing it.

Lot #2 1973 Ford Mustang Coupe; S/N 3F01H136092; Medium Charcoal Grey, /Black, White fake suede; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $6,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $6,600. No Reserve– 351/177hp, automatic, Grant GT steering wheel, Corbeau seats, 17 inch polished Torque Thrust wheels, P/S, P/B, A/C. – Cheap, runny repaint, worn, soiled seats, cracked window seals. Raised suspension. An unattractive but sound driver. – It was probably relief at getting the Seville off the block that induced the B-J bidders to pay this much for such a scrofulous Mustang.

Lot #5 1984 Oldsmobile Toronado 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 1G3AZ57Y6EE335941; Light Briar metallic, , Brown vinyl roof/Mauve velour; Unrestored original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $6,200 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $6,820. No Reserve– Wire wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, A/C, and all the rest. – Orderly, seemingly well-maintained low mileage Toronado represented as 31,780 miles from new. Sound original paint, chrome and interior. Bald tires. – Surprisingly well preserved, including the bawdy house velour upholstery and trim which usually loses its fuzz after five years.

Lot #28 1949 Mercury 4-Dr. Sedan; S/N 9CM289339; Dark Metallic Charcoal, /Grey velour; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $8,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $9,350. No Reserve– 255/110hp, 3-speed, overdrive, oil filter, hubcaps, sombrero trim rings, narrow whitewalls, pushbutton radio, clock. – Orange peely, scratched old repaint, sound upholstery, cracked steering wheel, sound old chrome, dull stainless. Mostly original except for paint and upholstery. Sound, straight body. An unusual unmolested example. – Most Mercs like this have become kustoms so it is unusual to see such a well-preserved original example. It will probably soon get the mild custom treatment with flames and dual Smitty’s, but that’s not a bad thing.

Lot #40 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 10702412029462; Black, /Beige leather; Visually maintained, largely original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $9,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $10,450. No Reserve– Chromed alloy wheels, sliding sunroof, automatic, P/W, Becker Mexico cassette stereo, A/C, new tires, sheepskin seat covers. – Surprisingly clean and sharp for the 108,855 miles on the odometer. Clean untouched chassis and underbody. sound and shiny repaint with no obvious flaws although what lies under the sheepskins is a mystery. – A generous price for an SLC, but not unreasonable as long as the air conditioning continues to blow cold.

Lot #41 1968 Fiat 500L 2-Dr. Sedan; S/N 2621662; Dark Blue, /Cognac leatherette; Black vinyl top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $14,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $15,400. No Reserve– Folding sunroof, luggage rack, bumper overriders, upgraded to 24hp 650cc high performance engine. – Thick but sound old repaint, good interior and chrome. Dull aluminum trim. Old undercoat in fender wells. Usable as is and fun. – Offered last year at Russo and Steele’s Monterey auction with a reported high bid of $11,000. The consignor made a little more by waiting, and the new owner is going to have more fun with it than this much money would buy at a luxury resort.

Lot #119 1948 Buick Roadmaster Sedanette; S/N 14862969; Light Green, , Metallic Olive/Beige cloth; Older restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $38,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $41,800. No Reserve– Dynaflow, dual remote spotlights, hubcaps, sombrero trim rings, pushbutton radio, stoplight viewer, skirts, fog lights, grille guard, heater, backup lights. – Good paint, chrome and interior. Clean, sharp older restoration to like new condition, showing a little age but no appreciable use. – These are dramatically designed automobiles that still look good today and attract favorable attention for those who know and those who are just moved by sleek postwar design. Top of the line Roadmaster, thoroughly restored and attractively presented, this price is fair to both the seller and the buyer.

Lot #170 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N JH23J0B296647; Top Banana, , Black vinyl roof/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $60,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $66,000. No Reserve– 340/290hp Six-Pack non-original engine, 4-speed, Pistol Grip shifter, stripe package, vinyl roof, power steering, power brakes, hubcaps and trim rings, front and rear spoilers. – Recent restoration. Good exterior paint and brightwork, trim is original with signs of rechroming and slight pitting. Engine has been refreshed and engine bay is detailed to a good quality. Interior is as new. A quality car, but nothing special – The replacement engine had little effect on the price, not surprising considering the way these cars were used when new so that a correct original engine is the exception rather than the rule. The original engine might have brought 10% or so more but no harm, no foul at this price.

Lot #320 1965 Volkswagen Beetle 2-Dr. Sedan; S/N 115612003; Java Green, , Pearl White/Cream leather; Cosmetic restoration, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $7,700 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $8,470. No Reserve– 1600, 4-speed, 12-volt electrics, whitewall inserts, chrome hub caps, amber fog light, radio, reproduction wood slat roof rack. – Recently restored. Detailed engine bay. Several paint flaws, several trim pieces poorly fit, discoloration on the white wall inserts, slightly tired chrome. A quickly cosmetically restored car with some character that presents nicely enough for a Beetle. – This is a good example of an auction car, superficially restored to look good under the lights of the auction block but with little attention to its details. The B-J bidders were not fooled and paid a superficial price for a superficial car.

Lot #427 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350 2-Dr. Sedan; S/N 332770M243484; Yellow, , Black/Black leather; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $29,700 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $32,670. No Reserve– 350/310hp, automatic, P/S, P/B, W25 fiberglass ram air hood, N34 Sport Steering Wheel, FE2 Rally Suspension, Radial T/A tires, bench seat, Kenwood radio, rear wing. – An older restoration represented as matching numbers. Sound paint, good interior, engine compartment almost like new. Filler in parts of the sills. Good cosmetic restoration, but has clearly been driven. – Done to a visibly compromised standard which in the end makes it a decent value in a rare body style and equipment package that promises better handling and performance than its big block brothers but is fully valued at this price.

Lot #428 1948 Ford F-1 Pickup; S/N 88RC121977; Medium Green, , /; Recent restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $30,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $33,000. No Reserve– 3-speed, heater, dual outside mirrors, hubcaps, trim rings, whitewalls, chrome grille and bumpers, oil filter, tinted windshield, varnished wood bed floor, stainless bed strips. – Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Restored like new, except under the hood where the engine has been superficially painted assembled to dress it up for the auction. – The odometer on this truck shows 5,479 miles, probably since its competent and attractive restoration. The mileage goes a long way to explaining why the engine got its quick respray. This is otherwise a quality truck that should give its new owner ample reason to appreciate both the truck and the price paid for it.

Lot #474 1968 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 344778Z122014; Sapphire Blue, , White roof/Blue; Visually maintained, largely original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $37,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $40,700. No Reserve– 400/350hp, represented as numbers matching, heavy-duty suspension, 12-bolt Posi-traction rear end, close-ratio 4-speed, blue Rallye wheels, vinyl upholstery, includes owner’s manual and sales brochure signed by David North (designer of the 4-4-2). – Straight body with fresh paint. Chrome shows some scratches and minor pitting. Seats, carpet, dash look new. Shelf above speakers is lightly damaged with chipped paint and faded color. Overall, a better than average driver. – This is a strong price for a mediocre 4-4-2. Still, it’s possible to be proud to own this car at this price and enjoy its brilliant colors and lusty engine.

Lot #491.1 1972 Buick GS 455 Stage I 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 4G37V2H180460; Flame Orange, /White vinyl; Visually maintained, largely original, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $29,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $32,450. No Reserve– 455/270hp, automatic, factory air conditioning, tilt steering column, factory tachometer, power disc brakes, Rallye wheels. – A recent cosmetic restoration with strong paint but showing some isolated areas of poor prep. Detailed engine bay but has not been repainted to the same standard as the exterior. Trim is scuffed and scratched. Undercarriage is clean. Wheels have spots of rust. Interior is aged and dirty. A 20-footer. – Price paid here was more appropriate for a 1970 or 1971 GS 455 Stage I, even a conscientiously restored ’72. This is not an attractive car.

Lot #500 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N JS29U0E109634; Burnt Orange Metallic, , White vinyl roof/Burnt Orange vinyl; Visually maintained, largely original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $34,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $37,400. No Reserve– 440/375hp Magnum, automatic, hood pins, luggage rack, power brakes, factory air conditioning, AM-FM radio, Rallye instrument cluster, rim-blow steering wheel, original build sheet, well documented. – A beautiful car with recent minor cosmetic restoration. Original paint in good shape with only minor chips and scratches. Engine is nicely detailed. Excellent vinyl roof. Trim has some minor scratches. Interior like new. A very attractive car. – Very well bought. Color is very 1970s and not to everyone’s taste, but that will probably the last thing the new owner thinks about as he lays into the accelerator. Bought right.

Lot #501 1970 Dodge Charger R/T 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N XS29V0G110182; Blue, , White vinyl roof/Blue vinyl; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000. No Reserve– 440/390hp, automatic, represented as matching numbers, hood pins, Sure-Grip rear end, updated AM/FM radio, non-original Tic-Toc-Tach. – Mostly original car with well documented engine rebuild. Engine bay is fairly tidy. Original paint looks very good, with only minor cracks. Original vinyl roof is in good shape. Interior looks great but console has some scratches. Original brightwork is excellent, a well-preserved largely original car. – Gotta love that big Six Pack 440. The odometer shows 49,418 believable miles, most of them probably making passes and driving back the return road of some drag strip in search of better numbers. Its survival in such good, if aged, condition is remarkable and contributes to this being a good value at the price paid here.

Lot #502 1968 Chevrolet Corvette 427/435 Convertible; S/N 194678S417593; Copper Bronze, /Black; Black top; Cosmetic restoration, 4+ condition; Hammered Sold at $35,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $38,500. No Reserve– 427/435hp, 4-speed, represented as matching numbers, Hooker headers, aluminized chambered exhaust, F41 suspension, Posi-traction rear end, hard top, AM/FM radio, tinted windows. – Recent cosmetic restoration to low standards. Paint prep was horrendous. Top of engine is nicely detailed but bottom is untouched. Undercarriage is very rough. Panel fit is poor. Reupholstered seats look great but the rest of the interior is in poor shape – No documentation offered, which is the kiss of death for a Corvette, along with the negligent cosmetic re-do. The new owner might have gotten lucky, but that’s a faint hope and the bidders weren’t fooled.

Lot #502.1 1965 Pontiac LeMans GTO 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 237375Z131567; Engine # 145292YF; White, /Blue leather; Cosmetic restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $49,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $54,450. No Reserve– 389/325hp Catalina block, 4-speed, Tri-Power, Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires, P/S, P/W, push button radio, PHS documented, but documented as something different from the way it’s presented. – Good paint, spotless engine bay. Enthusiastically restored car with replacement block and added Tri-Power and 4-speed, but it was a superficial job that’s nothing to write home about. – Desirably optioned and upgraded, but not the way it left the factory nor done to particularly high standards and that makes the price rather generous. The new owner could have found better ways to spend this much money.

Lot #503 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible; S/N 223679U119278; Liberty Blue, /Black vinyl; Black cloth top; Recent restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000. No Reserve– 400/330hp, automatic, represented as original matching numbers engine and transmission, hood-mounted tachometer, Rallye 2 wheels, redline tires, Stayfast top, power disc brakes, shoulder belts, clock, AM radio, beauty rings, fog lights, woodgrain dashboard, full-size spare. Protect-O-Plate, PHS documentation. – Recent restoration with good brightwork and sound paint. New top complete with canvas cover. Original interior trim with new seats and carpeting well executed. Detailed engine bay. Very impressive car. – Top dollar paid for an excellent car in an eye-catching color. The attention to detail inspired confidence, and the new owner will likely be happy as a result with both the car and the price paid. Firebirds are on a roll, and this is a superior price for a superior standard Firebird 400.

Lot #505 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air Sedan; S/N 01611L160989; Black, /Black; Recent restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $60,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $66,000. No Reserve– 348/280hp, Tri-Power, 4-speed, 3.70 Posi-traction, power steering, hubcaps, factory tinted glass, bias ply tires, radio and heater delete. – Completely new rotisserie restoration but without representation of the correctness of its impressive drivetrain. Exterior is very attractive and done to high standards. Interior has been redone and is period correct. Detailed engine compartment is not overdone. Impressive restored vehicle that is just shy of being a complete show car. – Often overlooked in favor of the sensational 1961 Bel Airs, the 1960s are cool cars in their own right. This one was completed to an exceptional degree and had a mildly sinister look. It brought top dollar for a car that claims no originality for its 348/280hp Tri-Power 4-speed drivetrain

Lot #529 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe; S/N 194376S118763; White, /Black; Modified restoration, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $42,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $46,200. No Reserve– 327/350hp, 4-speed, replacement engine, Edelbrock intake, headers, aftermarket power steering, disc brakes, dual exhaust, C4 monoleaf rear suspension, centerlock alloy wheels, aftermarket air conditioning, woodrim steering wheel, KYB shocks. – Fair recent restoration with upgrades to make it a better drive. Originally a green car but has been repainted white. Overall paint work is good but there is minor cracking around the windshield and rear window. Completely new interior and wheels. Rebuilt engine and drivetrain. A presentable driver. – Given the go-fast parts on the non-original engine and the general condition the seller should be extremely happy with this result.

Lot #531 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N 194678S409104; Bronze, /Black; Black top; Recent restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $42,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $46,200. No Reserve– 427/390hp, M21 4-speed, represented as matching numbers, Posi-traction, Rallye wheels, redline tires, factory air conditioning, documented with a copy of the original (and still installed) tank sticker. – 76,388 mile big block Corvette recently restored to show quality. Paint looks excellent. Engine bay has been meticulously detailed. Front bumper isn’t aligned. Undercarriage is recently repainted. Reupholstered seats as well as the rest of the interior in excellent shape. Well restored, without going over the top. – A tastefully done and well-presented Big Block Corvette that sold for an appropriate amount.

Lot #543 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback; S/N 1F05J211516; Bright Red, , Black hood/Red vinyl; Unrestored original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000. No Reserve– 427/375hp, automatic, represented as matching numbers, Ram Air hood, dual exhaust, front spoiler, power steering, power brakes, Magnum 500 wheels, beauty rings, woodrim steering wheel, Deluxe Marti Report. – A quality survivor with 56,589 miles. Original paint checking in some places and showing various scratches and wear but sound. Polished brightwork and exterior trim. Original interior is complete and intact, with some sun fading. Clean engine bay with original equipment. A quality Mustang. – Bid was high considering condition alone, but thoroughly considered in light of this car’s originality. It’s somewhat amazing that ’71 Mach 1s like this are far less than half of ’69-’70 Boss 429s with the same engine. Enjoy the ride and the Hundred Large in the buyer’s pocket.

Lot #573 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback; S/N 9T02R172975; Meadowlark Yellow, , Matte Black hood/Black vinyl; Unrestored original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $54,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $59,400. No Reserve– 428/335hp, automatic, represented as matching numbers, black-out hood, tinted glass, AM radio with 8-track player, high-back bucket seats, factory air conditioning, all original paperwork including owner history, original build sheet and Marti Report. – 39,699 original miles. Original paint in fair shape with cracks and chips. Engine bay has been meticulously detailed. Louver paint has been scratched off the bottom fin. Rechromed bumpers look great. Interior in excellent shape. Most recent undercoat is rough. – Sold for $52,500 here in 2012, then bid to $50,000 at Mecum Monterey last August, the price here is as sound as the car is.

Lot #576 1956 Chrysler New Yorker St. Regis 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N N5632695; Red, , White/Pink; 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $40,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $44,000. No Reserve– 354/280hp, automatic, tri-color paint, two-tone interior, wire wheels, whitewall tires, power steering, power brakes, push-button transmission, power windows, power driver seat, radio, rim-blow horn. – Sound recent restoration throughout. Good exterior paint with minor scratching around window trim from installation. Brightwork is original with slight evidence of age and wear. Rebuilt engine and mechanical underpinnings. Completely reworked interior with NOS materials. – A rarely seen model, well presented, and worth all of the price paid although six years ago in 2008 it brought $57,200 here.

Lot #582 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe; S/N 124377N248687; Marina Blue, , Black vinyl roof/Gold; Recent restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $30,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $33,000. No Reserve– 327/210hp, Powerglide, redline tires, power brakes, power steering, AM radio, bench seat, factory air conditioning, documented with original bill of sale and Protect-O-Plate. – Represented as numbers-matching original driveline. Very good paint and chrome. Cracked windshield weather seals. Seats, carpet and dash are very good. Clean and detailed engine compartment. Firestone red line inner on chrome factory wheels. Excellent first model year Camaro in very good restored condition. – The very interesting and reportedly original color combination paired with rare bench seat, low-po engine, and auto trans leads one to wonder about the original owner – clearly someone who went their own way. Regardless, the odd configuration spoke to someone, perhaps an Administrative Assistant?

Lot #631 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Coupe; S/N 1G1AP87LXBL172495; Dark Gray, /Silver; Unrestored original, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $30,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $33,000. No Reserve– 350/175hp, automatic, P/S, P/B, mag wheels, air induction, rear spoiler, vinyl upholstery, AM/FM radio, air conditioning. – No evidence of restoration. Fair paint shows normal wear. Sound exterior trim throughout. Very clean and well-kept interior. Impressive original car that may never need restoration if it continues to receive the care it has seen thus far. – A compulsively boring Camaro that hardly deserves its Z/28 designation with the 175hp engine. It’s hard to see the rationale for this price even considering the originality and documentation for a car that on a very good day would barely see the high side of $20 Large.

Lot #637 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL320 Roadster; S/N WDBFA63F3VF153209; Quartz Blue Metallic, /Gray; Dark Blue top; Unrestored original, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $16,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $18,150. No Reserve– Stock wheels, fog lights, headlight wipers, maple wood trim, leather rim steering wheel, 40th anniversary floor mats, 6-disc CD changer, heated leather seats. – Striking, collector-quality late-model Mercedes. Original wheels with 75 percent tire life left. Pristine interior shows virtually no use or wear. Well-kept engine compartment. Sound paint and major chrome. Essentially unused and represented with 36,481 original miles. – These cars were ubiquitous at country clubs, doctor’s offices, and upscale shopping centers in the 1990s. The bulk of those cars were driven extensively and then passed on to successively uncaring owners, while this one seems to have been lovingly cared for. Now, does anyone care? One of a big contingent of 10-15 year old luxury cars crossing the block at B-J.

Lot #640 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Convertible; S/N 2G1FP32G622113396; White, /Tan; Tan top; 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $20,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $22,000. No Reserve– 346/310hp, 6-speed, 35th Anniversary model, acceleration slip, chrome wheels, fog lights, power top, leather-wrapped steering wheel, stainless steel exhaust, 6-way power leather seat. – Sound, 4,900 mile original example. Fair paint with some road wear on front nose and rear deck. Tight convertible top, minor blemish near driver’s door. Well-kept interior. – The 2002 model year has become the year of choice among late-model Camaro collectors, and the return of the nameplate hasn’t hampered prices in the least. If you’re going to pay up, as this buyer did, doing so for a no-miles example is the way to do it.

Lot #643 1963 Pontiac LeMans Convertible; S/N 263K13211; Red, /Red; Off White top; 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $19,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $21,450. No Reserve– 326/260hp, automatic, power top, wire wheel covers, white stripe tires, Soft Ray tinted glass, vinyl upholstery, bucket seats, radio, sunshade, cigar lighter, custom interior trim, build sheet, PHS documentation. – Restored. Fair paint, sound chrome, original top and safety glass. Newly recovered seats highlight a very clean interior. – Nearly 16,000 Tempest LeMans convertibles were built in 1963, though it’s not easy to find one today. An interesting car that will be summer fun. In contrast, GTOs are commonplace, and the little 326 V-8 is no slouch. At this price, the new owner may be commended for identifying a very unusual Pontiac at a modest price. It won’t meet itself coming the other way very soon.

Lot #653 1965 Ford Falcon Ranchero; S/N 5H27C169588; Maroon, /Black; Recent restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $27,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $29,700. No Reserve– 289/200hp with 4-barrel added, 4-speed, wire wheel covers, white stripe tires, chrome bed trim, bucket seats, console, factory air conditioning. – A very well-done restoration. Excellent paint no chips, cracks, or scratches, well applied to good fitting panels. Bumpers are sound with fresh chrome. Aluminum grille trim is dull and dinged, but isn’t it always? Engine appears to be well cared for, underhood and underbody are both clean and orderly. – Nicely equipped and not suffering from the 4-barrel atop the C-code 289, the new owner of this competently restored Falcon Ranchero got full value for the money. Driving by someone suffering in the heat in the cab of an F-1 or early F100 with the Ranchero’s A/C blowing cold is supremely valuable. A good value in a distinctive car-truck.

Lot #656 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe; S/N 2W87Z7N231260; Black, , Gold chicken/Red leatherette; Visually maintained, largely original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $21,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $23,100. No Reserve– Smokey and the Bandit edition. Automatic, Pioneer CD stereo, console 8-track, gold snowflake wheels, blackwall tires, shaker wood with temperature and oil pressure gauges, glass tee tops, rear window louvers. – Dirty windshield corners, dirty original underbody, sound original interior. Needs tires. Replacement engine. Just a car, even if it does let the driver ‘show off’ like Burt Reynolds. – A generous price for a show-off Trans Am. Maybe some Trans Am-ist could elaborate on the so-called Smokey and the Bandit edition?

And someone has, noting, “[T]hose cars are now called “Bandit” editions, but I believe their trim package preceded the movie. Following on the success (?) of the black with gold-pinstripes Cosworth Vega, and more like the German “JPS” Capri II (Capri II “S” in the US), which had black and gold wheels and interior to go with the panel stripes, Pontiac offered the black and gold “Special Edition” Trans Am for 1977. Pontiac provided writer/director Hal Needham with Trans-Ams and Bonnevilles to use in the movie, and the rest is history.

Lot #658 1966 Ford T5 Notchback; S/N 6T07C147685; Candy Apple Red, /Black vinyl; Visually maintained, largely original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $20,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $22,000. No Reserve– 289/200hp, 3-speed, Magnum wheels, narrow whitewalls, pushbutton radio, gauges, no P/S or P/B. – Represented as numbers matching, export T5 model. Good older paint, chrome and interior. Clean but not like new underhood. Underbody shows age and use. – One of Mustang collectors’ favorite trivia questions, less than 600 built mostly for sale to US servicemen in Germany where Ford didn’t have rights to the Mustang name. A bare bones Mustang (uh, I mean T-5) that will be a treat at Mustang events and at a highly reasonable price.

Lot #669 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe; S/N 194370S410839; Engine # 70641083V0519CTH; Daytona Yellow, /Black leather; Cosmetic restoration, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $22,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $24,200. No Reserve– 350/350hp, 4-speed, Radial T/A tires, T-top, LT1 hood, P/W, A/C, push button radio. – Represented as matching numbers. Clean original engine bay. Very good interior. Chassis shows signs of age and body has several paint flaws. Had a misleading LT1 hood, but is just a used and fairly clean 350/350 and was represented as such. – Perhaps because of the LT1 hood the B-J bidders didn’t turn on to this 350/350 and left it sucking wind. On the other hand, the new owner got a choice Corvette (even if not LT1-choice) for a modest and realistic price.

Lot #672 1972 Ford Ranchero GT Pickup; S/N 2A48Q252371; Green, , White/Brown; 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $25,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $27,500. No Reserve– 351/266hp, automatic, chrome Magnum 500 wheels, side stripes, handling package, power steering, power front disc brakes, instrument group, leather upholstery, bench seats, air conditioning, radio, tilt steering column. Marti Report. – Good recent restoration on an unusual vehicle. Fair paint with road wear throughout. Sound major chrome and truck bed. Extremely clean and fresh underhood. Recovered interior with original gauges set in wood dash. A really nice pickup-car. – A strong result for an unusual car. These Torino-based “crucks” outperform their coupe counterparts, and tend to have a loyal cult following. 1972s are heavier than earlier models, which hurts their performance standpoint but makes them more usable as trucks, not than this one shows any evidence of serious truck use during its life.

Lot #683 1963 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible; S/N 3H15F236541; Peacock Blue, /Blue; White top; Older restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $36,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $39,600. No Reserve– 260/164hp, automatic, wire wheel covers, white stripe tires, backup lights, windshield washers, dual sideview mirrors, bucket seats, console, padded dashboard, tinted windows, AM push-button radio. – Very meticulous restoration. Clean and straight chrome has no scratches, stainless is bright and straight. Top is clean and well fitted. Engine compartment is clean and well cared for, the correct the interior has no wear, radio appears to be original, rear package shelf a bit worn, one scratch on windshield trim. AACA Senior National First Prize. – Sold by RM at Ft. Lauderdale in 2010 for $39,600 in comparable condition, then here in 2012 for $30,800. The difference may be 30%, but it amounts only to $9,000 and this is a quality Falcon although at more money than a comparably equipped Mustang it values its relative rarity and unusually good condition highly.

Lot #783.1 1962 Dodge Polara 500 Convertible; S/N 5422149298; Champagne, /White; White top; 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $45,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $49,500. No Reserve– 361/305hp, automatic, P/S, power top, dual exhaust, hubcaps, redline tires, push-button transmission, tilt steering column, air conditioning, power windows, radio, two-tone interior. – A sound older restoration. Good exterior paint and major chrome with minor age evident. Original interior fading. Claims to be restored to concours quality but falls somewhat short in the details. – Really strong price paid here, but when did another one like it appear?

1970 Plymouth 'Cuda 2-Dr. Hardtop — Lot #807 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N BS23N0E111135; Lemon Twist, , Black/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $45,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $49,500. No Reserve– 383/330hp, automatic, P/S, P/B, hood-mounted tachometer, rear “go wing” spoiler, Rallye wheels, console, slap-tick shifter, later AM/FM radio with CD player, woodgrain steering wheel. – Fifteen year restoration documented with photos. Excellent paint and trim. Minor scratches in chrome. Immaculate engine bay. Seats and all interior surfaces appear as new. Only out of period equipment is the radio. About as good as it gets at least in presentation. – One is always left to wonder when a restoration takes 15 years to complete – at some point the work done at the beginning practically needs to be redone or becomes aged and hoary. Nonetheless, the quality and colors were here, and price was well deserved even with the base engine.

Lot #810 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 Convertible; S/N 124678N436549; Le Mans Blue, , White stripes/White houndstooth; White vinyl top; Cosmetic restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $52,800 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $58,080. No Reserve– 396/350hp, solid lifters, 3.55 Positraction, 4-speed, off-road exhaust, Rally wheels, BF Goodrich Radial TA’s, P/S, P/B, P/T, Hurst shifter, wood grain steering wheel, AM/FM radio, offroad exhaust. – Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Only a little over 2,000 miles on a nut and bolt, rotisserie restoration. Not a matching numbers car, with a ‘period correct’ engine, but better than perfect cosmetically. – The trouble with a ‘period correct’ engine is that there’s nothing there to say if this is an original SS 396 or even an SS. It’s just a Camaro that may or may not (probably not) be accurately presented as it was new. This price is appropriate for a car that’s on the up-and-up, but the buyer took a leap of faith in bidding this much.

Lot #847 1957 Chrysler Saratoga Coupe; S/N L5726168; Black, , White roof/Cream leather; Cosmetic restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $54,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $59,400. No Reserve– 354/295hp, 3-speed automatic, BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewalls, bench seat, push button radio. – Very strong paint, chrome and interior. 33,267 miles and superbly restored, likely one of the best Saratogas around. The black paint reveals no imperfections in the all-original sheetmetal, and this car is a great representation of 1950s American fins and chrome. – Sold at Branson Spring in 2011 for $42,660, then at Mecum’s Indy sale in May of the same year for $58,300, a reflection of relatively steady values for quality cars of the Fifties.

Lot #862 1936 Chevrolet Standard Convertible; S/N 21FC064339; Green, /Brown leather; Tan cloth top; Older restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $52,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $57,200. No Reserve– 207/79hp, 3-speed, painted wire wheels, Firestone whitewalls, rear-mounted spare, rear fender skirts, rumble seat, dual mirrors, AM radio, heater. – Excellent interior. Several paint chips and cracks around the windshield and rumble seat. An attractively restored rare Chevy with a couple of noticeable flaws but still a standout in a sea of vintage Fords. – This is singularly impressive money for a Chevy, even one so well restored and maintained as this.

Lot #879 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner; S/N D7KW170243; Raven Black, , Colonial White/White; Older restoration, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $30,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $33,000. No Reserve– 312/245hp, automatic, Two-tone interior, AM radio, power steering. – Good paint with blemishes around the trunk. Good chrome and interior. Gaps inconsistent, some chrome trim misaligned. Retractable hardtop is in great working order. A driver that is representative of the presentation of must Skyliners which take inordinate attention to their complex roof mechanisms and are often superficially treated elsewhere. – Less than perfect, but could have been bought for slightly more without causing consternation. The colors are stark but more in tune with modern tastes.

Lot #942 1948 Studebaker Commander Starlight Coupe; S/N 4349601; Peacock Green, /Grey; Older restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $21,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $23,100. No Reserve– 3-speed, Firestone whitewalls, push button radio. – Decent interior. Poor panel fit on the trunk. Poorly fit windshield trim. Light orange peel on the roof and along drip rails. Paint crack in the tail. Clean engine bay. From the John Hendricks Collection at the Gateway Auto Museum. A nice color and Raymond Loewy styling don’t hide the minor cosmetic issues, but it would make a good, unique driver with plenty of opportunity for the new owner to address its shortcomings. – A milestone of postwar design, competently restored even if showing age and bought reasonably.

Lot #951 2001 Acura NSX Targa; S/N JH4NA21641T000048; Yellow, /Black leather; Unrestored original, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $56,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $61,600. No Reserve– 6-speed, HRE wheels, yellow calipers, Bridgestone Potenza tires, targa roof, Alpine stereo. – Essentially a new car with 3,092 miles. A few add-ons but not overly modified. The wheels, fancy aftermarket stereo and somewhat excessive amount of rear window stickers, however, do take away from what could have looked like a factory fresh NSX. – Honda, somewhat inexplicably, let me drive an NSX press car for a weekend years ago and I have ever since been a fan of them. Settle in and it quickly becomes part of the driver. The corners are tightly composed and the car responds to the slightest thoughts. A new NSX is on the way, and this is the time to buy if this result is any indication.

Lot #960 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 223377U147119; Gold, /Black vinyl; Cosmetic restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $30,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $33,000. No Reserve– 400/325hp, automatic, P/S, P/B, modern Hurst-style wheels, BF Goodrich red line Radial tires, bucket seats, A/C, AM/FM radio. – Very good paint, chrome and interior. Very clean engine bay. Nicely restored first year Firebird. – Russo and Steele sold this car in Scottsdale in 2012 for $21,725. Mecum sold it at Indy in May 2012 for $26,500. The history is indicative of the increasing popularity of Firebirds, and not out of line among present values.

Lot #965 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N 194675S116375; Glen Green, /Tan; Tan cloth top; 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $90,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $99,000. No Reserve– 327/300hp, automatic, spinner wheel covers, gold line tires, teakwood steering wheel, Bloomington Gold Certificate awarded in 1997. – Single-family ownership, older sympathetic body-off restoration completed in 1996. Paint is in fair shape with minor chips and noticeable swirls. Top of the engine is detailed while undercarriage is filthy. Brightwork is mostly good with some minor scratches – Incredibly strong price paid for a superficially presented 300-hp Corvette with a slushbox. Of course this car’s same-family history and its originality drove the price, but the presentation calls its quality into question. An incredibly generous price for an ordinary Corvette.

Lot #983 1952 Jaguar XK 120 Fixed Head Coupe; S/N 679632; Old English White, /Red leather; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $60,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $66,000. No Reserve– Centerlock wire wheels, Dunlop Road Speed tires, locking filler cap, dual wing mirrors. – Very good paint, chrome and interior. Very clean engine bay. A nicely restored driver but not a show car. Stated to be body-off restored, which its presentation supports, and with matching numbers and Heritage Certificate, but the cosmetics and presentation don’t measure up to most XK 120 restorations. – Sold by RM here in Arizona in 2011 for $55,000, then peddled at Worldwide in Houston and Bonhams Quail Lodge in 2012 with reported bids of $95,000 both times. It came back to earth here at WestWorld and brought a reasonable price for its presentation and condition.

Lot # 1002 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 138177K198773; Yellow, /Black vinyl; Black vinyl top; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $60,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $66,000. No Reserve– 396/375hp, 4-speed, P/S, P/B, P/W, tilt steering column, wood-rimmed steering wheel, tinted glass Firestone red line tires, documented with sale documents and title history. – 23,784 miles. Replacement transmission and rear axle but represented as matching numbers engine. Very good chrome. Decent paint and interior. Rare, desirable options. An older restoration in a color combination not often seen. – Sold by B-J at Palm Beach in 2006 for $81,000, then at WestWorld in 2010 for $57,200. Aren’t you glad you weren’t the 2006 buyer?

Lot # 1025.1 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N J58S105005; Panama Yellow, , White coves/Black; Black cloth top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $120,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $132,000. No Reserve– 283/245hp dual quads, 4-speed, 3.70 Positraction, Al Knoch black canvas top, new whitewall radial tires, factory radio delete, heater, aluminized exhaust system. – Beautiful recent restoration and represented as matching numbers. Paint was properly prepped and looks excellent. Engine bay has been highly detailed without going overboard. Panel fit is spot on. Door window trim wasn’t polished and it stands out against rest of car. New soft top looks great. – Fantastic car in great colors, done to an excellent standard, and nicely optioned. The bidders responded to the dramatic colors and desirable drivetrain with an exceptional price. Ordinary Corvettes at B-J brought soft money; exceptional ones like this brought all the money … and then some.

Lot # 1033 1956 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N E56S001407; Cascade Green, , White coves/Beige; Beige cloth top; Older restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $87,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $95,700. No Reserve– 265/225hp, 2×4, Powerglide, whitewalls, push button radio. – Very good paint, chrome and interior. A lightly used older restoration, built during the year when Zora Arkus Duntov first had a crack at the Corvette. Finished in an eye-catching color and equipped with the Powerglide automatic, it’s ideal for cruising and being seen in. – Today it seem almost ludicrous to combine the dual quad 265 V-8 with Powerglide but in 1956 it wasn’t strange at all when the alternative was a clunky Bel Air 3-speed stick. And, as Jim Hall conclusively proved with his Chaparrals, Powerglide was in many ways an attractive alternative to fumbling around in a box of cogs with limited ratio choices. ’56 was a watershed year for Corvette and this is a good one, even at this price.

Lot # 1053 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible; S/N E7FH266731; Gunmetal Grey, , Gunmetal Grey hardtop/Red; Black cloth top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $300,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $330,000. No Reserve– 312/270hp dual quads, 3-speed with overdrive, two tops, chrome wire wheels, Firestone whitewalls, Town & Country radio, P/S, P/B, engine dressup – An Amos Minter restoration to his exceptional standards with excellent paint, chrome and interior in the original colors. Spotless engine bay. A little overrestored but not enough to make it unappealing, freshly restored and never shown. – The supercharged ‘F’ Series cars are the holy grail for early T-Birds, but this ‘E’ Series example is still desirably equipped and fresh from a complete restoration. It sold for $64,660 at Mecum’s Dallas auction in 2012 before being ministered to by Minter. An astounding price, but the price of the best and most accurately restored ’57 Thunderbird. The new owner will never have to make excuses for this car. For its price, another matter, especially when an older restored Minter F-bird sold at RM for $200,000 this week.

Lot # 1057 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III Phase 2 Convertible; S/N HBJ8L39323; Healey Blue, /Navy Blue leather; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $78,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $85,800. No Reserve– 4-speed, front disc brakes, chrome knock off wire wheels, Classic Radial all season tires, roll up windows, heater, banjo steering wheel. – Excellent paint, chrome and interior restoration by Healey Lane. Very clean engine bay. Completely restored and documented with almost everything rebuilt or replaced. This final year BJ8 is fresh from top to bottom and ready to show. – BJ8s just aren’t doing what they did a few years ago, while 100/4s climb steadily up the value ladder. Let’s put it this way, for the same money (or close) you can have a BJ8 Phase 2 with 150hp … or an XKE with the sexiest body ever put on four wheels and 265hp. Hmm? This is realistic money for what this Healey is.

Lot # 1152 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible; S/N 4Y86N432985; Black Satin, /Black leather; Black cloth top; Cosmetic restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500. No Reserve– Automatic, P/W, power top, power seat, whitewalls, dash clock, push button radio, A/C – Very good paint, chrome and interior. Straight body. Lightly worn seats. Big, beautiful and all black. Perfect for parades and leisurely drives. – Glide up anywhere in this Continental and be received like royalty, a car that says ‘1%’ like no other, even an M-B 600. Well maintained and presented in good cosmetic condition, it brought a superior price that reflected its presence if not an appreciation of others’ opinion of its value.

Lot # 1171 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Convertible; S/N 12005126; Brown, /Tan; Tan top; Cosmetic restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $45,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $49,500. No Reserve– Automatic, two tops, factory wheels, factory air conditioning, Becker Europa AM/FM radio, leather upholstery, owner’s manual, spare tire, tool kit. – Excellent paint, chrome in fair shape with light pitting and minor scratches. Wheels are in great shape without nicks or other road rash. Engine bay has been thoroughly detailed. Excellent seats, carpet and dash round off an already good-looking interior. – The Pagoda SL market is somewhat befuddling. Fresh world-class restorations on well-equipped cars vault prices well into six figures in the right venue, while slightly less impressive examples can sometimes sell at a 50% discount. This 280SL, aided by its two tops, is a quality driver done by professionals to an acceptable standard of presentation and brought a realistic price.

Lot # 1262 1952 Nash-Healey Series 25 Convertible, Body by Pinin Farina; S/N AZ124140; Red, /Black; Black top; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $70,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $77,000. No Reserve– Overdrive, chrome wire wheels, whitewall tires. Arizona assigned VIN. – An older restoration still holding up well. Good paint and body fit, sound chrome and interior, engine bay shows use while still being clean and orderly. – Sold by Worldwide at Auburn in 2012 for $58,300, then by Auctions America at Auburn Fall in 2013 for $72,600.

Lot # 1275.2 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Coupe; S/N 124870L514769; Mulsanne Blue, Black stripes/Sandalwood; Older restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $69,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $75,900. No Reserve– 350/360hp, M21 4-speed, 3.73 Positraction, Z/22 hidden wiper package, Torque Thrust wheels, Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. – Very good paint and interior and represented as the original engine. From the Floyd Garrett Muscle Car Museum. Rare, clean and correct. First and last of the second generation Camaros before being choked by smog regulation, the 1970 cars are the ones to have, with this being a particularly good example. – Accurately restored and attractive, but generously priced.

Lot # 1283 1961 Chrysler 300G Convertible; S/N 8413174378; Mardi Gras Red, /Tan leather; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $92,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $101,200. No Reserve– 413/375hp, Cross Ram intake, push-button transmission, P/S, P/B, P/W, Remington whitewalls, push button radio, swivel seats. – Good paint and chrome. Lightly worn seats. Original dash. Very sound driver that has appeared in Automobile Quarterly as well as on TV. – Sold here in 2008 for $150,700 in similar condition. The underhood presentation of the long-ram 300s is nothing short of spectacular and they go just as strong as they look. Bought here for a modest price.

Lot # 1310 2009 Mosler Raptor GTR Coupe; S/N 1M94136BX9C682029; Lamborghini Orange, , Carbon wing/Black cloth; Unrestored original, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $255,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $280,500. No Reserve– 1,200hp Chevy-base V-8, Getrag 6-speed, Dymag wheels, cross-drilled 14-inch rotors, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, tinted windows, A/C, P/W. – Crashed in 2011, but completely repaired and showing no evidence of damage. Still one of the ultimate track cars with a 1,200 horsepower LS7 behind the driver. – Sold by B-J at Las Vegas in 2011 for $268,800 and still an exceptional performance value at the price even if its design is best described at ‘functional.’

Lot # 1311 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe; S/N 194375S113272; Blue, /Blue; Unrestored original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $86,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $94,600. No Reserve– 327/300hp, automatic, drum brakes, BF Goodrich Silvertown narrow whitewalls, radio delete, A/C, dash clock. – Good repaint, original interior and chrome. Imperfect gaps. Small dents in roof. Cracking filler cap. Solid original engine bay and frame. Strong original car and amazingly preserved with 9,358 miles, but also with less than ideal specs. – This is a snapshot of the ‘preservation’ phenomenon: sold by B-J at Palm Beach in 2004 for $61,830 with 9,133 miles, then at WestWorld in 2007 for $107,250 and by Auctions America at Auburn Fall last Labor Day weekend for $74,250. The WestWorld bidders paid up for originality while ignoring the base engine and Powerglide.

2008 Bugatti Veyron Coupe 'Simon Cowell's' — Lot # 1319.2 2008 Bugatti Veyron Coupe ‘Simon Cowell’s’; S/N VF9SA25C68M795060; Black, /Black; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $1,250,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $1,375,000. With Reserve– Polished alloy wheels. – Certified pre-owned Bugatti offered by Simon Cowell with a one year warranty from Bugatti. New tires, recent service and 1,300 miles from new. – The warranty probably requires that it always be driven while wearing a vee-neck sweater with just a little chest hair showing. No, that’s rude. I apologize, Simon. A real supercar, for supercar money.

Lot # 1333 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N RM23V0A168713; White, /Black vinyl; Black vinyl top; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $130,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $143,000. No Reserve– 440/390hp Six Barrel, automatic, Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, push button radio, documented with build sheet. – Very good paint and interior. Clean original engine bay. Well kept car with low miles. Strong, driver quality example of these wild cars. – Not a restoration, but not original, either, this is a quality Superbird with rock crushing 440 Six Barrel power at an appropriate price even without a representation of the driveline’s originality to this car.

Lot # 1368 1972 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 W30 Convertible; S/N 3J67X2M235892; Flame Orange, , Black hood stripes/Black leather; Black vinyl top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $90,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $99,000. No Reserve– 455/300hp, automatic, Goodyear Polyglas tires, push button radio. – Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Body-off restoration done correctly, not overrestored just very fresh and crisp. A solid, eye-catching 4-4-2 convertible done to the highest standards, one of 113 W30 convertibles built in ’72. – Oldsmobile 4-4-2s continue to be extremely popular even as most of the rest of the Muscle Car market is cooling off and this ’72 benefited from the continuing excitement even though its 455 engine is throttled back to only 300 (rated, net) horsepower this year. They are, however, a torque-monster making them fun to drive around town. This result is representative.

Lot # 1369 1929 LaSalle Series 328 Convertible Coupe; S/N 415702; Engine # 8707530; Red, , Black fenders and trim/Brown leather; Tan cloth top; Older restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $100,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $110,000. No Reserve– 3-speed, painted wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual sidemounts with mirrors, Pilot Ray driving light, mesh radiator stone guard, rumble seat, golf bag door, luggage trunk. – Excellent paint, chrome and interior done in the late 90’s and exceptionally well maintained since then. Built from a 1929 coupe and a 1929 convertible. Has won numerous awards in the past and could still win more. – Sold here in 2012 for $82,500 and brought a sizable bump today, a tribute to its innate eyeball appeal and quality restoration.

Lot # 1379 1998 Dodge Viper GTS-R Coupe; S/N 1B3ER69E0WV401056; Stone White, , Viper Blue Le Mans stripes/Blue and Black leather; Unrestored original, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $78,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $85,800. No Reserve– 6-speed, GT2 aero package, BBS wheels, Michelin Pilot SX tires, 5-point harnesses, tinted windows, Alpine radio, original manuals, window sticker, purchase paper, service contract, keys and wheel center cap removal tool. – Like new. Another great exotic that was just stuffed away and never actually used, #56 of 100 built, 1,082 miles from new. – This is the cafe racer street version of the GTS-R FIA GT race car. It sold here in 2011 for $95,700, demonstrating the folly of preserving an expensive car as an ‘instant collectible’. It takes 20 or 25 years for the depreciation curve to bottom out, which leaves the new owner with a decision to make: continue to accept depreciation as it sits in the garage, or take it out and drive it for the sheer exhilaration of all those ponies and lb-ft.

Lot # 1402 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 136370K148538; Red, , Black vinyl roof/Black vinyl; Cosmetic restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $37,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $40,700. No Reserve– 396/350hp, automatic, hubcaps, trim rings, cowl induction hood, stainless exhaust, F41 suspension, 8-track player, tilt steering column. – Claimed original 65,000 miles, documented with build sheet, ‘correct’ engine, garage-kept survivor. Good paint, chrome and vinyl roof. Exceptional interior that appears to have never been sat in but is claimed to be original. Minor imperfections are irrelevant to the overall quality of this Chevelle. – Assuming the “correct motor” (as described) means what it seems and not “correct type of motor,” this was a good buy – even with the auto box.

Lot # 1412 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N 30867S112349; Red, /Red; Black top; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $62,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $68,200. No Reserve– 327/300hp, 4-speed, represented as matching numbers, alloy wheels, whitewall tires, WonderBar radio. – An older restoration that has kept its freshness. Sound paint. Chrome is good to fair with only minor scarring. Clean NOS interior with new convertible top. Detailed and rebuilt engine. Clean and orderly throughout on a vehicle that presents well. – This result is a little on the strong side considering the pedestrian 300hp engine, but not egregiously so. The fact that the restoration is holding up so well is testament of the quality of the work and the owner’s level of care, both good clues to future enjoyment.

Lot # 1536 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Utility; S/N FJ40259419; Tan, , White roof/Black; Truck restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $35,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $38,500. No Reserve– Power brakes, full-size spare tire, hubcaps, radio, air conditioning, forward-facing rear seat instead of expected jump seats. – Sound recent and complete restoration. Quality paint, original glass throughout. Completely new interior including sun visors that are still in plastic wrap. Freshened engine compartment tastefully done. A presentable and thorough touring FJ. – Compared to other FJs in Scottsdale, this was a deal. For those sellers who are beginning to point to $100K sales [there was one here in Scottsdale], there are still plenty of sub-$50K restored FJ40s like this with which to refute the argument that the FJ40 market has gone completely crazy. The craziness is still isolated.

Lot # 1537 1957 Willys FC-150 Pickup; S/N E171A0192; Red, , White/Red; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $26,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $28,600. No Reserve– 4×4, Coca Cola livery, complete with cooler. – Beautifully done in and out, only 77 miles showing on the odometer since the restoration was completed. – Good money for something that’s basically only good for parades, as it’s deathly slow. Even still, a charming oddity.

Lot # 1539 1963 Chevrolet Impala 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 31847J243316; Red, /Gray; White top; Cosmetic restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $22,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $24,200. No Reserve– 327/300hp, Powerglide, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, vinyl roof, power bench seat, padded dashboard. – Odometer shows 22,468 reportedly original miles. Good repaint, excellent chrome, clean engine bay, vinyl top well fitted, good trim. Original interior holding up very well. A solid car all around. – In this configuration, this Impala is more about the enjoyment than the thrill, but it is still a very usable cruiser that will earn attention. Cheap, too. Reported sold by Kruse in Miami in April 2007 for $21,300, then here at WestWorld in 2008 for $23,100. It can’t have covered many miles in the past 7 years, and has had excellent care to look this good today. A usable, interesting, comfortable entry-level collector car without the hype of big engines.

Lot # 1550 1969 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Coupe; S/N 344779M412206; Silver, /Maroon vinyl; Older restoration, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $23,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $25,850. No Reserve– 400/325hp, automatic, represented as matching numbers, power front disc brakes, power steering, Magnum wheels, factory air conditioning, bucket seats, factory tachometer. – An older restoration recently cleaned up for the auction. Paint is fair with signs of poor prep work as well as multiple chips and cracks. Engine is tidy. Brightwork is unpolished and severely scratched. Undercarriage is clean. Interior chrome is pitting and the center console is cracked. Not a happy car, nor a reassuring one. – A very usable driver. 4-4-2s have held their own in the market for the most part during the past five years, and fair money was paid here in line with its prior sale at B-J’s Las Vegas auction in 2011 where it brought $20,900.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2014 – Auction Report Page Seven

Lot # 1554 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster; S/N 194678S410564; Le Mans Blue, /Black; Black vinyl top; Modified restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000. No Reserve– 427, Muncie 4-speed, 3.70 Positraction, transistor ignition, HD sway bars, P/S, forged 11:1 pistons, aluminum intake, big roller cam, off-road exhaust, Rally wheels, Firestone Super Sport red line tires, AM-FM radio, tinted glass. – Clean engine bay. Light bubbling in the paint on left rear fender, gaps between windows and top. Described as built with the 427/435, current engine is a 454 destroked to 427 and ‘built to L88 specs.’ A tastefully modified big block car that for the most part presents very well but evidences a hard life. – No doubt fast, but of mixed heritage that makes this price generous. On the other hand if the car were free it would be hard to build it up to these specs for the price paid here.

Lot # 1565 1966 Ford Mustang GT Convertible; S/N 6F08K351783; Candy Apple Red, /Black; Black top; 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $45,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $49,500. No Reserve– 289/271hp K-code, top-loader 4-speed, Pony interior, Shelby mag style wheels, front disc brakes, factory GT, power top, no power steering or power brakes. – A desirable Mustang, with excellent paint, chrome and interior, fair panel fit. A bit odd that it has front disc brakes but no P/B booster, a real leg muscle builder. – A highly desirable high-powered engine and 4-speed in the claimed original color combination. It is very difficult to find a drop-top K-code GT with 4-speed, although this one changed hands at B-J’s Las Vegas auction in September for $36,300.

Lot # 1575 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook Convertible; S/N P24064416; Mexico Red, /Red; White top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $26,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $28,600. No Reserve– Overdrive, whitewall radial tires, Kelsey-Hayes chrome wire wheels, power top, driving lights, factory radio, rear fender skirts, locking gas cap, two tone cloth/leather bench seats. – Driver quality paint not aging very well. Window seals falling apart, chrome only OK. New canvas soft top looks great, without stains or folds. Fair panel fit. Unusual, but not attractive. – Quite pretty but dreadfully slow. A Sunday driver, but not on the Freeway, please, where it will be a rolling roadblock. Little effort went into this Plymouth’s preparation for the auction and the seller should be extremely happy with this result.

Lot # 1575.1 1939 Packard Super 8 4-Dr. Sedan; S/N 12723597; Black, /Tan; Older restoration, 1- condition; Hammered Sold at $37,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $40,700. No Reserve– Dual sidemounts with mirrors, fog lights, luggage rack, original interior. – Former 1st Place AACA winner with 51,396 believable miles showing on the odometer. Still a commanding presence. Excellent paint and chrome, surprising original interior. Plastic dash parts have held up well, red wheels definitely NOT typical. $15,000 recently spent on mechanical overhaul. – The Super Eight was downsized in 1939 but kept its big engine. Sold here last year for $48,400, its price this year was right on the money, and is a lot of car to get for the price.

Lot # 1576 1952 Ford F-2 Pickup; S/N F24LU11640; Wood Smoke Grey, , Black fenders/Burgundy vinyl; Recent restoration, 1- condition; Hammered Sold at $21,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $23,100. No Reserve– 1-ton pickup, 16-inch wheels, 4-speed floor shift, 8-foot oak bed, red deep-dish wheels, wide whitewall tires, two-tone interior. – 500 miles since body-off restoration. Straight body, good glass, new bed. Wheels and tires appear to be trying too hard to make an impression. – Big enough to be useful but too nice to use for work. 1-ton trucks have always lagged behind user-friendlier half tons. This F-2 will be even slower than its little brother. Nice buy, nonetheless, especially if the new owner can paint his business name on the door and claim it as a dependent.

Lot # 1577 1952 Ford F-1 Pickup; S/N F1R2KC17098; Red, , Black fenders/Black; Recent restoration, 1- condition; Hammered Sold at $26,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $28,600. No Reserve– Whitewall tires, stars and stripes on bed sideboards, dual exhaust, spotlights, extra gauges, column shift. – Body-off restored with a straight body, excellent paint, chrome and glass. Too good to work, but great for parades. New bed, new oak deck. – A rising tide is lifting all boats – er, trucks – including this one. Its recent auction history witnesses the tide’s slow advance: Branson Spring last April, sold for $19,440; Mecum Kansas City two weeks later, sold for $25,440; now $28,600. The elements move at a pace about as deliberate as this F-1 pickup.

Lot # 1578 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Dr. Sedan; S/N VC57J270780; Tuxedo Black, /Silver; Visually maintained, largely original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $26,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $28,600. No Reserve– 283/220hp Power Pack, Powerglide, P/S, wheel covers, whitewall tires, fender skirts, two-tone interior, EZ eye glass. – Spectacular largely original car with one quality repaint. Excellent original interior. Great recently polished chrome and trim. Extremely clean engine bay. A sharp example of a family Chevy, one of 254,331 Bel Air 4-Dr. Sedans built in 1957 – This is a remarkably nice survivor that brought top money for its equipment and body style.

Lot # 1580 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup; S/N 0892095F255X; Juniper Green, , Bombay Ivory/Green cloth; Recent restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $23,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $25,300. No Reserve– 235/123hp six, 3-speed, short narrow bed “new series,” wide whitewall tires, chrome bumpers, single sidemount spare, sun visor, fancy two-tone cloth seat. – Hard-to-fault restoration of an attractive truck. Laser straight body, lovely new paint and chrome, excellent interior and new wood bed. As nice as you’re likely ever to see. – This truck will probably never haul another load of compost, but it’s very pretty and will be much admired. Bought far below what was spent on the restoration, and for what seems like very sensible money given what fully restored trucks are starting to bring. It sold at Mecum’s Indianapolis auction last May for $21,400.

Lot # 1583 1949 Diamond T 306 Dump Truck; S/N 30611195; Red, /Beige; 1- condition; Hammered Sold at $27,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $29,700. No Reserve– Hercules 6-cylinder engine, PTO, cab lights. – Rare survivor of hard-used piece of history. Prizewinning restoration that’s simply stunning for its rarity and attention to detail. Excellent paint, nice barebones interior. Senior AACA winner in 2000 and still show quality. – This truck belongs in a Fourth of July parade. Where would you ever find another? Well worth the conversations that will surely follow this truck wherever it goes.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2014 – Auction Report Page Eight

Lot # 1592 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N VC57N105552; Surf Green, , White/Highland Green; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $38,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $41,800. No Reserve– 283/220hp, Powerglide, represented as matching numbers, spinner wheel covers, whitewall tires, dual antennae, AM radio, clock, two-tone interior. No power steering or power brakes. – Restored in 2007, minimal mileage since. Superb body, paint and chrome. Very well detailed engine compartment. A handsome car in showroom condition. – Is the Tri-Five market softening as those enthusiasts get older? the auction history of this car would seem to bear that out, having sold here in 2008 for $83,600.

Lot # 1603 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible; S/N 138677K110356; Bolero Red, /Black vinyl; Black top; Recent restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000. No Reserve– 396/350hp, 4-speed, represented as date code correct (but not ‘original’) engine, P/S, P/B 12-bolt rear end, power top, mag-style wheel covers, red line tires, factory air conditioning, vinyl bucket seats, gauge package. – A recent body-off restoration. Paint is in very good condition with only a few minor chips. Engine bay has been thoroughly detailed. Undercoating looks excellent as well. Soft top is in great shape without wrinkles or folds. Interior is like new. Beautiful. – Sold right where it should have. Good colors, good presentation, and good equipment. The extensively documented restoration added to its appeal.

Lot # 1604 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Coupe; S/N 124379N660245; Orange, , White/Black houndstooth; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $48,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $52,800. No Reserve– 302/290hp, 4-speed, original Z/28, correct DZ engine block, Rallye wheels, power steering, power disc brakes, cowl induction, rear spoiler, console, gauge package, woodgrain steering wheel. – Body-off restoration. Overall paint fair with some overspray and chips. Excellent, highly detailed engine bay. Bright rechromed bumpers. Undercoat is still sound. Window and door trim have minor dings and scuffs. Interior like new. Close to show quality – A few overlooked details probably discouraged some bidders, but this seems like a very sage purchase at this price, down just a tick from the $53,000 it brought at Mecum’s Houston auction in 2012.

Lot # 1606 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS Coupe; S/N 124378N478449; Engine # V0624M0; Green, , White roof/Black; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $51,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $56,100. No Reserve– 302/290hp, 4-speed, RS trim, high-rise intake, 12-bolt rear end, cowl induction, power brakes with 4-piston front discs, front and rear spoilers, Rally wheels with center caps and trim rings, redline tires, bucket seats, console, gauge package, AM Radio. Later hood and air cleaner. – A mostly well-cared-for car. Recent paintwork has bubbling at rear window and the stripes on the rear spoiler are misaligned. Some pitted chrome trim and bumper scratches. Panel gaps off at doors. Underbody was clean but painted. – Sold for $55,000 at B-J Las Vegas in 2009, passed at Leake Tulsa last June but sold by Mecum at Dallas in September for $41,730. The result here is arguably the market price for an RS Z/28 in this condition.

Lot # 1608 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 242379Z119209; Carousel Red, /Black; Cosmetic restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $58,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $63,800. No Reserve– 400/366hp ‘Date correct’ engine block, Ram Air III induction, 4-speed, P/S, P/B, driving lights, Goodyear Polyglas tires, Hurst shifter, Tic-Toc-Tach, woodgrain steering wheel, console, bucket seats, air conditioning. – Fresh mechanicals, powder-coated undercarriage. Good chrome and well fitted Endura bumper, super clean engine bay. Very nice repaint but left front fender sprung. Very nice repaint. New interior. PHS documented. – Despite a few details to be fixed and questions about the engine, this was a reasonable price for a well-equipped GTO.

Lot # 1610 1964 Pontiac LeMans GTO Convertible; S/N 824F31998; Engine # 79J; Black, /Black; White top; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $47,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $51,700. No Reserve– 389/325 engine with ‘dealer-installed’ Tri-Power setup. Alternator, power steering, power brakes, power top, modern battery with Delco top. Bucket seats, front disc, rear drum brakes, dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers, Rallye wheels with center caps and trim rings, – Recent partial restoration. Paint was applied well but needs further color sanding and polish. Undercarriage and frame are tidy save for a poorly installed exhaust and a minor leak near the transmission. Most trim was removed, polished and reinstalled, but many dings were not taken out. Thin rear bumper chrome. Excellent interior. PHS documented. – Should be ready to run and will provide a lot of fun at this price, even with the note flaws and oversights. Regardless of who installed the Tri-Power, it will sound and feel the same coming off a stoplight. Plus the top goes down. A sound value.

Lot # 1624 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible; S/N VC57T277176; Ivory White, /Orange vinyl; White vinyl top; Older restoration, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $45,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $49,500. No Reserve– 283/220hp Power pack, 3-speed, power steering, dual rear antennae, bumper guards, spinner wheel covers, whitewall tires, two-tone vinyl interior. – An older restoration that has sat a long time. Nice interior, body not very straight, radiator dented and crossrail bent, scuffed trim. Ready for some more time at the shop. – A handsome package in good colors that will reward some TLC and attention with an increase in value. The price reflects the shortcomings, as it has all this year as it’s been peddled from auction to auction: Sold for $63,250 at Auctions America Ft. Lauderdale last March, no-saled at Mecum Indy ($62,000) and Leake Tulsa ($65,000) before being reported sold two months ago at the Motostalgia auction during USGP week in Austin for $61,600 and driven with an F1 driver on the Sunday pre-race parade lap. The price today is realistic.

Lot # 1628 1990 Ferrari Testarossa Coupe; S/N ZFFSG17A4L0084824; Red, /Tan; Unrestored original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500. No Reserve– Full luggage set, tools, books, dust cover. – Straight and clean Arizona car, good paint, nice interior, unmarked wheels, decent tires. Engine is surprisingly dirty, especially given the recent reported service. – Prices are starting to climb for these 1980s icons. Good money, but the dirty engine raises questions. Let’s hope the buyer saw the records.

Lot # 1631 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Convertible; S/N 136670B161379; Engine # CRV; Black, , White stripes/Black; Black top; Recent restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500. No Reserve– Represented as an original 454/450hp LS6 with a warranty block stamped CRV. M22 4-speed, P/S, P/B, 12-bolt Positraction rear end. Factory tachometer, 3-spoke tilt steering wheel, F41 suspension, cowl induction, buckets and console. – Frame-off restored and presents well with good panel fit and paint, though there is some overspray. Excellent chrome, good interior and top. Clean mechanicals. Overall well done, a sound and competently presented LS6 although there is no mention of documentation of its as-delivered configuration. – Even with the warranty block, this should have sold for well above what it brought. Either somebody didn’t like the numbers, or it was sold on the wrong day. Whatever its history, at this price and in this condition, how could you go wrong when not so long ago an LS6 convertible was a shoo-in six-figure car.

Lot # 1635 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N 10867S103276; Red, , White coves/Red; White vinyl top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $60,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $66,000. No Reserve– 283/270hp dual quads, 4-speed, represented as original matching numbers except carbs, which are correct pattern. Wide whitewall tires, 3.7 axle, WonderBar radio. – A driver quality Corvette cleaned up for the auction. Typical paint, trim and body fit, top of engine detailed, correct ignition shields. New glass, good chrome. Top is wrinkled and stained, which suggests it has rarely been up. – Desirable engine/drivetrain combination is sound, drivable condition. Many are over-restored and it is nice to see some restraint in the presentation. The bidders agreed, and paid an unexpected price.

Lot # 1644 1956 Lincoln Continental Mk II Coupe; S/N C5601537; Black, /White; 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $90,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $99,000. No Reserve– Non-original and hidden fuel injection, disc brakes, and aluminum radiator, whitewall tires, air conditioning, two-tone interior. – Restored with some driver-oriented modifications. Very straight with nice paint and good chrome. Excellent interior, though changed from original gray. – Unless perfectly (and expensively) restored, Mk IIs rarely approach $100K anymore. This one benefitted greatly from thoughtful updates and brought top dollar. It sold for $51,360 at Mecum’s Monterey auction last August, a serious score for the seller.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2014 – Auction Report Page Nine

Lot # 1649 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Fastback; S/N 0F02G165031; Yellow, , Black/Black; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $80,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $88,000. No Reserve– 302/290hp, 4-speed, represented as matching numbers, tachometer, shaker hood, rare sport wheel covers, rear window louvers, rear spoiler, power steering, no power brakes, fake caps on battery, Goodyear Polyglas tires, vinyl upholstery, AM radio. – Recent no-expense-spared rotisserie restoration done to Marti specs. Excellent paint, panel fit and chrome. Engine beautifully detailed and with all stickers. Undercarriage well-sorted, interior like new. – On the money. Boss 302s (and Trans-Am era cars in general) are enjoying a bit of a resurgence at the moment. They are still off their 2008 high in most cases, but not as far as you might expect. This one benefitted from an outstanding, correct restoration in its correct original color, #2214 known to the Ford Marketing Whizzes as ‘Last Stand Custard.’ You could also have ‘Bring ’em Back Olive’, ‘Young Turquoise’, ‘Hulla Blue’ and ‘Good Clean Fawn’ among others. Really.

Lot # 1659.2 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser Convertible; S/N 57SL70004M; Sun Glitter Yellow, /Black, Yellow vinyl; Black top; Older restoration, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $30,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $33,000. No Reserve– 368/290hp, automatic, Indy 500 Pace Car replica, power steering and brakes, continental kit, rear fender skirts, whitewall tires, two-tone interior. – Restored. Nice paint, lots of quality chrome, well-fitted interior, decent top, clean mechanicals. Terrible hood fit, cracked taillight lenses. A little disappointing in the details. – Turnpike Cruisers are relatively unknown to collectors these days, but they tend to sell for strong money when they appear. Not so for this example, which probably suffered more from its time-slot than its condition. The bidders were plainly asleep here, except for one, who went home with far more car than money, a car that sold here in 2012 for $70,400!

Lot # 1663 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N 194676S104179; Yellow, /Black; Black top; Recent restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $47,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $51,700. No Reserve– 327/300hp, automatic, represented as matching numbers, alloy wheels, tilt steering column, full records, originally delivered to Walter Davidson of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. – Recently restored, two owners from new. Good panel fit, overly shiny paint. Crack by right headlight. Repop bumpers, good interior, clean engine, steering wheel shows age. – Nicely done, but the Powerglide is a dead weight on its value and the aged steering wheel suggests there may be other less easily seen shortcomings. This is fair money for the car; the Harley-Davidson link had minimal impact to the car’s price.

Lot # 1664 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Convertible; S/N 124679N542120; Rallye Green, , White stripe/White houndstooth; White top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $60,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $66,000. No Reserve– 396/375hp, 4-speed, ‘date-code correct’ engine, smog equipment, power steering, dual exhaust, 3.73 Positraction, fog lights, lower front spoiler, headlight washers, tilt steering column, radio, full-size spare tire. – Recent rotisserie restoration with good paint and major chrome. No expense spared on the engine compartment detail. New interior components and top. Presents very well. – Assuming this car came from the factory as an RS/SS, this was a bit of a bargain, even with the replacement engine and no claim it came originally with the 396/375hp. It sold at Mecum’s Indianapolis auction in 2012 for $69,960, a tough way to get rich.

Lot # 1665 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible; S/N P6FH273573; Peacock Blue, /White; Black top; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $32,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $35,200. No Reserve– 312/225hp, automatic, soft top only, power steering, upgraded brakes, engine dress-up kit, continental kit, wide whitewall cross-ply tires, aftermarket radio. – Quite straight in a pretty color, although the paint needs rubbing out. Good chrome, decent interior. Botched radiator repair. – The makings of a pretty car, but will need a hardtop and some more devoted attention to the details to advance into the major league of 2-seat Thunderbird values. It brought a reasonable price here for what it is.

Lot # 1700 1995 Jaguar XJS Convertible; S/N SAJNX274XSC195016; White, /Tan; Tan top; 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $20,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $22,000. No Reserve– Automatic, alloy wheels, power top, power seats, air conditioning, cassette deck. – Nice paint, some wear to seats, good interior wood, scrape on right rear bumper, odometer undoubtedly rolled over. – Much less trouble than the V12 and not a lot slower. These cars can still be found for $8,000-$10,000 in local classifieds, so the $22K price here should probably be described as a purchase of passion.

Lot # 5001 1956 DeSoto Adventurer 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 50385936; Black, , Gold accent and roof/Gold vinyl, Black cloth; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 1 condition; Hammered Sold at $95,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $104,500. No Reserve– 341/320hp Hemi with dual quads, automatic, P/B, P/S, chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, P/W. – Show car restored with excellent paint, bright chrome and show car engine compartment. – Sold here in 2011 for $154,000, which isn’t going to make the seller very happy but is all the money it is worth today.

Lot # 5004 1954 Buick Skylark Convertible; S/N 7A1098771; Yellow, , Black wheel wells/Yellow, Black leather; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 1 condition; Hammered Sold at $185,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $203,500. No Reserve– Chrome wire wheels, whitewalls. – Show car paint and chrome. – A breathtaking Skylark at an equally breathtaking price.

Lot # 5005 1987 Buick GNX 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 1G4GJ1172HP452592; Black, /Grey, Black velour; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $95,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $104,500. No Reserve– – Never used, never even washed, #482 of 547, 11 miles from new. Documented with the original window sticker (still on the window), invoice and purchase order. – Sold by B-J at Palm Beach in 2010 for $145,200. It will look sinister in the corner of some garage where it will sit until it next changes hands, carefully being pushed backwards half the time to keep the odometer from ringing up another mile.

Lot # 5006 1969 Chevrolet Camaro COPO 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 124379N657867; Rallye Green, /Black; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $120,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $132,000.

Lot # 5009 1970 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 Coupe; S/N 194370S413942; Monza Red, /Black vinyl; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $200,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $220,000. No Reserve– 350/370hp, M22 4-speed, F41 suspension, 4.11 axle, J56 brakes. – Restored like new, one of 25 built, GM of Canada documentation, 2013 NCRS Top Flight. – Crossed the Mecum Indy block last May with a reported bid of $200,000. This is one of the most rare of all Corvettes, the last gasp of the high performance small block before the smog police and insurance nazis emasculated performance engines for two decades. A beautiful, rare car at a realistic price.

Lot # 5012 1958 Buick Century Convertible; S/N 6E1031879; Green Mist Metallic, /Green, White; Dark Green vinyl top; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $120,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $132,000. No Reserve– Wheel covers, whitewalls, ‘Air-Poise’ suspension, Flight-Pitch Dynaflow – Very good paint and chrome. Chipped hood edge. One owner 30,800 mile car represented to be all-original except for required mechanical maintenance. – There are several things going for this Buick: its one-owner, 30,800 mile history; big engine-short wheelbase chassis performance; rare Air-Poise and Flight-Pitch Dynaflow options, attractive colors. They added up to a combination that was enthusiastically received by the Barrett-Jackson bidders. An expensive ’58 Century, but likely to be one of a kind with quality, preservation and features unlikely ever to be seen again.

Lot # 5013 1957 DeSoto Adventurer Convertible; S/N 50415283; Black, , Gold/Beige leather; Black vinyl top; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $250,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $275,000. No Reserve– 345/345hp dual quad Hemi, pushbutton automatic, P/S, P/B, P/W, dual rear antennas, tinted glass, dual outside mirrors, chrome wire wheels, bias ply whitewalls – Excellent paint, chrome and interior. No longer fresh but still an arresting presence. One of just 300 Adventurer convertibles built in 1957. – Talk about a home run, this rare Adventurer convertible sold for $123,750 at RM’s Monterey auction in 2006, then for $126,500 at RM’s sale of the Don Davis collection in April of last year. A rare and dramatically styled car that brought a stupendous price unlikely to be matched any time soon.

Lot # 5018 1971 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-2 Coupe; S/N 194371S118181; Brands Hatch Green, /Dark Green vinyl; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $450,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $495,000. No Reserve– 454/425hp, M22 4-speed, F41 suspension, 4.11 Positraction, J56 brakes. – Restored like new. One of 12 built before smog and insurance took down performance. GM of Canada documented, restored in the original colors, Bloomington Gold. – It’s telling how our better impulses – to reduce smog, restrict performance, inhibit fun – are eventually overcome by our passions. This ZR-2 was a great car in its day but it was followed by a wasteland of dull, boring, car-slugs of the 70’s and 80’s. The animal spirits of performance just won’t be put down and today this ZR-2 seems almost pedestrian beside the Corvettes, Vipers, Porsches, BMW Ms and M-B AMGs that make sweet, sublime 500 and 600 + horsepower with power everything, nearly zero smog emissions and concert hall stereos. It is the elemental, no frills, character of this ZR-2 that confers its value. It is rude, raucous and raunchy, and that’s why it’s worth this much.

Lot # 5021 1971 Plymouth Road Runner Hemi 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N RM23R1G134682; Gold, , Matte Black hood/Brown; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $95,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $104,500. No Reserve– 426/425hp, 4-speed, P/S, P/B, rally wheels with trim rings, Polyglas GT tires, Track Pack, Air Grabber. – Described as an original car with 11,103 miles, documented with its original invoice and build sheet. It’s impossible to assess its condition from the distant view permitted at B-J, however. – On the view from 10 feet and the description alone this price seems to be eminently appropriate for such a remarkable survivor and with just over 11K miles a few more to experience its performance and keep its juices flowing are not going to have much effect on its value.

Lot # 5022 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 #57 Rebel Convertible Race Car; S/N 194679S713635; Red, /Black; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $2,600,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $2,860,000. With Reserve– 427/430hp L88, 4-speed, chrome side exhausts, polished alloy wheels, bubble covered headlights, Cibie driving lights, aluminum chin spoiler. – Excellent paint, trim and interior. Better than new. Sebring history 1969-71, 1971 IMSA champion, 1972 Daytona 24 Hours 8th overall and 1st in class. This is what Zora Arkus-Duntov intended when he created the L88. – A legendary Corvette race car, there is no arguing with the Barrett-Jackson bidders’ determination of what it is worth.

Lot # 5026 1963 Plymouth Belvedere Max Wedge 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 3231130981; Red, /Beige; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $90,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $99,000. No Reserve– 426 Max Wedge with short cross-ram dual quads, 3-speed. – Older restoration of a claimed completely original car with good paint and chrome but showing age. Viewed at a distance, this is as good a description as can be inferred. – Legendary car, one of 18 built.

Lot # 5028 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T Hemi Convertible; S/N WS27J8G212214; Iridescent Blue, /Blue vinyl; Black top; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $140,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $154,000. No Reserve– 426/425hp Hemi, automatic, body color wheels, dog dish hubcaps, red line tires, P/B, P/S, replacement block. – Quality older restoration with bright paint and chrome. – If this isn’t the ultimate cruise night show-off car it has to be close. One of just 9 built, the convertible body must flex like a snake when all this power gets dumped down the drivetrain; it stays together only because it has narrow tires that turn to smoke with the slightest twitch of the throttle.

Lot # 5035 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe; S/N 194377S115791; Red, , Black stripes/Red; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $3,500,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $3,850,000. With Reserve– 427/430hp, M22 4-speed, J56 brakes, F41 suspension, transistor ignition, 4.56 Positraction, Rally wheels with trim rings and hubcaps. – Excellent paint and chrome. Documented with its tank sticker. NCRS Top Flight, Duntov Mark of Excellence in 2001. – Incredibly rare and legendary, commonly accepted to have 500+hp off the dealer’s lot. When offered at RM’s Arizona auction in 2000 it was described as having a replacement block.

Lot # 5038 1953 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster; S/N E53F001181; Polo White, /Red vinyl; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $700,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $770,000. No Reserve– – 9,260 miles from new, all original including tires, top and interior (but some paint work), Bloomington Gold, Hall of Fame, AACA National First Prize. Sold as a pair with 2003 Corvette lot #5039 with matching VIN and miles. – More spectacle than market, this result means nothing.

Lot # 5044 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing; S/N 1980405500634; Silver, /Grey plaid; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $1,900,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $2,090,000. With Reserve– – Freshly restored and show quality from ten feet. – Barrett-Jackson gets some extraordinary prices for Gullwings.

Lot # 5047 1937 Lincoln K 7-Passenger Touring, Body by Willoughby; S/N K7850; Grey, , Black fenders/Dark Grey leather; Black cloth top; Recent restoration, 1- condition; Hammered Sold at $260,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $286,000. No Reserve– Body color steel spoke wheels, whitewalls, dual enclosed sidemounts with mirrors, cloth covered trunk with fitted luggage, Trippe lights. – Concours restored with a little storage dust underneath but otherwise excellent paint, chrome and interior. – A handsome car that owes a significant value increment to its use as a parade car by the governor of New York, Herbert Lehman, and at the 1939 New York World’s fair.

Lot # 5048 1929 Duesenberg Model SJ Dual Cowl Phaeton, Body by LeBaron; S/N 2158; Engine # J-292; Black, /Black; Black cloth top; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $1,300,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $1,430,000. With Reserve– Dual carburetors, chrome wire wheels, whitewall tires, Pilot-Rays, dual sidemounts with chrome rings and mirrors, dual windshields, spotlights. – Very good older paint and chrome. A quality older restoration. Later factory-fitted supercharged engine restamped with the original number – Despite the engine fiddling (not uncommon with Duesenbergs) this is an exceptional example that brought a price appropriate to its restoration, performance and sleek LeBaron coachwork.

Lot # 5051 1947 Delahaye 135 M Cabriolet, Body by Guillore; S/N 800788; Red, , Black fenders/Black; Black cloth top; Older restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $450,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $495,000. With Reserve– 3-position top, Marchal head and fog lights, chrome wine wheels, blackwall tires. – Excellent paint and chrome. Underbody is like new. – Attractive coachwork by Guillore, a quality restoration and 130hp performance make this a great find in a beautiful French car, bought for an appropriate price.

Lot # 5053 1939 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Touring; S/N 915030; Blue-Green, /Tobacco leather; Concours restoration, 1- condition; Not sold at Hammer bid of $950,000. With Reserve– RHD. Body color wire wheels, blackwall tires, skirts, trafficators – Engine replaced with a 2300 bored to 2.5 liters, 2500 cylinder head, carburetor, manifolds and ancillaries. Restored in 1998, 2nd in Class and Most Elegant Closed Car at Pebble Beach in 1998, still good enough to be Best Pre-War Alfa at The Quail in 2012. Excellent paint, chrome and interior showing only faint evidence of being used. – As attractive as it was when RM offered it at Amelia Island last March, but no closer to finding a new owner than it did then when it was bid to $900,000. It is a beautiful example of Touring’s streamlined coachwork however the consignor may want to recognize that the replaced engine detracts from its value and accept the judgment of the bidders.

Lot # 5054 1930 Cord Front Drive L-29 Phaeton; S/N FD2936A; Dark Blue, , Saffron coachlines/Tan leather; Tan cloth top; Cosmetic restoration, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $160,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $176,000. No Reserve– Saffron wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual sidemounts with mirrors, black trunk. – New upholstery. Quickly repainted over old paint. Frame painted with so little attention they didn’t spray behind the steering arm. Fair old chrome. Orderly and clean engine but done a while ago. ACD certified. – Sold by RM at Amelia in 2006 for $99,000, the result here is sufficient for a thoroughly and freshly restored example.

Lot # 5057 1927 Mercedes-Benz 630K Drophead Coupe Sport Touring, Body by Thomas Harrington; S/N 32019; Black, /Dark Red leather; Black cloth top; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; Post-block sale at $650,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $715,000. With Reserve– RHD. Chrome wire wheels, blackwall tires, luggage trunk, Zeiss headlights, Butler fender markers, Marchal driving lights. – Good recent repaint, body covering and upholstery on a much older and largely original chassis and engine. Original coachwork as fitted in 1927, attractive, lightweight and practical. In Thailand for nearly two decades until recently and serviced by M-B Classic Center. Eminently presentable and usable as is. – Bid on the block to $375,000 but reported later sold at a price of $715,000 ($650,000 hammer.) A stylish high performance Mercedes-Benz with supercharged six developed by Dr. Porsche, but expensive.

Lot # 5059 1931 Pierce-Arrow Model 41 7-Passenger Touring; S/N 3050171; Maroon, /Black; Tan cloth top; Older restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $125,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $137,500. No Reserve– Body color steel spoke wheels, wide whitewalls, dual cloth covered sidemounts with mirrors, cloth covered trunk – Very good paint, chrome and interior. Chassis covered in oily road grime appropriate to the 9,097 miles on the odometer. An attractive older restoration with tour miles. – An heroic automobile, driven as the Pierce family would have intended and bought reasonably at this price.

Lot # 5060 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Ascot Phaeton, Body by Brewster; S/N S308LR; Black, , Red frame/Brown; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $500,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $550,000. With Reserve– Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual sidemounts with mirrors, dual windshields, dual spotlights, roll up windows. – Very good older restoration showing a little age, but little use. Rollup windows added by Murphy. Represented as original chassis, engine and body. – An exceptionally handsome car, documented from new and as-built throughout. Real quality in a Springfield Rolls-Royce with Brewster coachwork for which an appropriate price was paid as Barrett-Jackson returns to its classic car roots and expands newer collectors’ appreciation for these monumental automobiles.

Lot # 5063 1963 Shelby Cooper Monaco King Cobra; S/N CM/3/63; Metallic Blue, , White stripes/Black; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $1,500,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $1,650,000. With Reserve– RHD. 289/400hp, four downdraft Weber carbs, 5-speed transaxle. – Excellent paint and interior. Restored better than new. – Sold by RM at Amelia in 2007 for $935,000, then passed at Gooding Pebble Beach in 2008 with a reported bid of $1.2 million. It’s hard to argue with the Barrett-Jackson bidders’ assessment of its value.

Lot # 5064 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster; S/N 1210409500417; Red, /Tan leather; Tan cloth top; Customized restoration, 1 condition; Hammered Sold at $175,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $192,500. No Reserve– Body color wheels with hubcaps and trim rings, whitewalls, pushbutton radio, Solex carbs. – Very good paint, chrome and interior. Engine compartment is oddly restored with incorrect shiny paint finishes. Even the carbs are clear coated. Underbody is repainted better than new. A custom car show restoration. – Remarkably and unattractively over-restored, but that didn’t deter the bidders from over-paying for it.

Lot # 5065 1953 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N E53F001083; Polo White, /Red vinyl; Visually maintained, largely original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $250,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $275,000. No Reserve– Wheel covers, Powerglide, heater, wide whitewall tires, WonderBar radio – Good old repaint with chips and scratches. Good interior. Dash top cracked. Good chrome. A strong, consistent cosmetically restored and maintained Corvette. Represented as unrestored, a term than is hard to apply to it. – Peddled around in the past year, from Mecum’s Bloomington Gold sale in 2012 through Mecum Monterey last August, the consignor finally got real, especially at this handsome price.

Lot # 5066 1954 Plymouth Belmont Convertible; S/N 13829339; Red, /Putty Grey; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 1 condition; Post-block sale at $1,200,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $1,320,000.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2014 – Auction Report Page Twelve

Lot # 5067 1947 Ford Super Deluxe Sportsman Convertible; S/N A1684761; Pheasant Red, /Burgundy; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $135,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $148,500. No Reserve– Body color wheels, hubcaps, trim rings, wide whitewalls. – Looks good from ten feet, but hard to tell without being able to get close, especially to look at the wood. – No opinion of value is possible from ten feet.

Lot # 5068 1953 Oldsmobile 98 Fiesta Convertible; S/N R476456; White, , Blue/White, Blue; White vinyl top; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $190,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $209,000. No Reserve– Flipper wheel covers, wide whitewalls, continental kit. – Very good paint and chrome. Underbody is clean but original. – Sold by Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2008 for $165,000 and hard to see how it’s worth this much more six years later.

Lot # 5069 1955 Talbot-Lago T-26 Grand Sport GSL Coupe; S/N 111017; Red, /Beige; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $450,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $495,000. With Reserve– RHD. Chrome wire wheels, blackwall tires, fog lights. – Decent old cosmetic restoration. Used and enjoyed but also well cared for. Cosmetically redone years ago and recently detailed but impossible to rate without closer access. – Handsome but ponderous envelope coachwork.

Lot # 5071 1962 Bentley S2 Continental Drophead Coupe, Body by Mulliner Park Ward; S/N BC118LCZ; Dark Metallic Blue, /Black leather; Black leatherette top; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $100,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $110,000. No Reserve– Lucas fog lights. – Quality paint but in a gaudy color. – It’s specious to try to evaluate cars like this when they’re hiding behind chains.

Lot # 5072 1991 Ferrari F40; S/N ZFFMN34A2M0087589; Black, /Black; Modified restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $675,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $742,500. With Reserve– Tubi exhaust, upgraded turbos, aluminum flywheel, Kevlar clutch, HRE wheels, Penske shocks, LED lights. – This is the famed Gas Monkey Garage F40, modified and rebuilt from a trailer full of parts. Extensively documented and vehemently maintained by Richard Rawlings and Dennis Collins to be better and more precisely jigged and squared than factory specs. – Balanced on the knife blade of credibility, this price reflects both the checkered history of this F40, its menacing black appearance and its TV-exposed notoriety. Ownership represents something of a risk (although at least this isn’t the usual ‘get it done in 7 days’ Gas Monkey stunt) but since F40s rarely get driven the celebrity nicely balances the risks at this price.

Lot # 5073 2013 Ferrari 458 Italia Spider; S/N ZFF68NHA3D0190784; Black, /Cream leather; Unrestored original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $295,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $324,500. No Reserve– Yellow calipers, SF shields, carbon ceramic brakes. – Driver’s seat lightly scuffed and wheel well lips sand and stone chipped. Electronic odometer couldn’t be read, but on the visual evidence this Ferrari has had more than minimal use and the description makes no reference to service history or CarFax. – Buying a late model high performance car like this at auction is fraught with risks. At this price, though, the buyer was apparently satisfied with whatever information was available. Similar cars are available in FML for comparable money from recognized dealers with reputations to nurture.

Lot # 5074 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Convertible, Body by Straman; S/N ZFFSA17A7G0065417; Black, /Black leather; Original, with non-original appearance items, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $67,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $73,700. No Reserve– A/C, 5-spoke alloy wheels, Michelin X radials. – Road & Track cover car, used in a Pepsi ad with Michael Jackson, 17,509 miles. Some paint flaws and worn surface cracked upholstery. A sound used car that is represented to have been Auto Gallery LA serviced a year ago. – Offered at Auctions America’s Burbank auction in early August with a reported high bid of $68,000. Does a cover shot on R&T or a cameo with Michael Jackson somehow make this cut Testarossa worth $10-20K more than its berlinetta sibling? The seller apparently thinks so, and the bidders here nearly matched the declined bid in Burbank. It’s definitely different among Testarossas, but expensive.

Lot # 5079 1936 Lincoln K Town Car, Body by Brunn; S/N K6702; Burgundy, , Black padded roof/Black leather, Tan cloth; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $80,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $88,000. No Reserve– – Oily chassis covered in road grime. Decent older paint and chrome, – Sold by RM at the Biltmore in 2009 for $61,600, then by Auctions America last September for $52,250, this formal bodied Lincoln hasn’t gotten sufficiently better in the last four months to warrant this price.

Lot # 5080 1998 Ferrari F300 Formula 1; S/N 183; Red, /Black; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $1,700,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $1,870,000– Test car driven by Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine; no actual race results. – Restored by Ferrari and like new. – Sold by RM in London in October 2012 for $646,000, offered at the Motostalgia auction in Austin during USGP weekend in November with a reported high bid of $900,000 and sold here for an eye-watering, amazing price that displays a nearly complete ignorance of recent Ferrari F1 values among the Barrett-Jackson bidders. Auction lightning struck here with a price sufficient to buy two F300 T-cars with enough left over for a couple years of Corse Clienti coddling.

Lot # 5081 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible; S/N 556279412; White, /White, Red; White vinyl top; Restricted Access, not viewed closely, 1 condition; Hammered Sold at $115,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $126,500. No Reserve– Polished Sabre wheels, wide whitewalls. – Excellent paint and chrome. Even gaps and flush fits. – From ten feet this is a beautiful car. How it looks up close is another and as yet unanswered question.

Lot # 5084 1918 Packard Twin 6 Phaeton; S/N 154680; Engine # ;, , /; Older restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $125,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $137,500. No Reserve– Jump seats, dual rear spares, Westinghouse ride stabilizers. – An older restoration with age and use but still presentable and usable. Good cosmetics, edges chipped, good interior with little wear or use. A high quality Packard, ex-Harrah’s and ex-Bill Ruger senior. – A ride in a Twin Six is a life-changing experience. They’re big, powerful and imposing; you feel like the King of the World, and if you’d owned one in the Teens you were because they were fabulously expensive. They’ve never been economical, this car selling at the 1985 Harrah’s auction for $32,500, at Christie’s Pebble Beach in 2002 for $70,500 and at Gooding Pebble Beach in 2004 for $88,000. Even at this price this is a monumental motor car worth every dollar of the price paid. Not to embellish, but this much money can be spent in oh, so many more foolish ways on cars of less quality, performance and integrity. An astute acquisition that will reward its new owner with marvelous experiences.

  Keith,
  I beg to differ, although I agree the subject is open to debate.
  We all know the Continental Mark II as a Lincoln Continental.
  The Standard Catalog describes it as a Lincoln-Continental, and there is widespread confusion about Zephyrs, too, as Ford struggled to develop an identity for its models.
  I have to be searchable, so please forgive the simplistic representation of the Mark IIs as Lincoln (marque) Continental (model). It will pay off some day when you ask me to search the database for results. I’ll actually be able to find them.
  
  Rick

I just love the use of the word “scrofulous,” and I still have 15 more screens to go! Good bye productivity on Thursday!

Olds interior velour described with superb accuracy as “bawdy house,” a term I haven’t seen since looking at an old dust jacket of a Ledbelly album decades ago. Bravissimo!

  It’s a substitute for ‘bordello’, which I might use in a subsequent description. Gawd, they were awful.

Great and comprehensive report Rick. Enjoyed the latter half of the selection illustrating the Talbot, Delahaye, etc. Certainly cars of distinction, and not the mass produced Camaros, Chargers, 57 Chevys etc, which for all intents and purposes, although iconic and emulate the cultural period in which they were built, can be boring in the sheer numbers of their production.
