Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2016

Barrett-Jackson, WestWorld, Scottsdale, Arizona, January 23-31, 2016

Using the word ‘usual’ about Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction is never appropriate.

Craig Jackson and his staff always succeed in coming up with new, wonderful attractions, events, demonstrations and even a large docket of vehicles to cross the block. This year’s Barrett-Jackson ran nine days, from Saturday the 23rd of January through Sunday the 31st.

The first two were exhibition days open to the public at reduced prices. Monday saw a full day of Automobilia on the block. Vehicles began their parade on Tuesday and went right through the following Sunday in a steady stream that challenged onlookers’ stamina.

The docket itself was down from last year’s amazing offering of 1,628 vehicles to a more sensible 1,490, a number in line with but still ahead of 2014’s 1,403. The $102,423,750 sale total similarly was down from the 2015 record (bolstered in large degree by Ron Pratte’s collection) of nearly $131 million. The average transaction also was down, but the median was 6.1% higher than last year as the caliber of the vehicles offered skewed slightly better. 99.5% of the vehicles offered were sold, a performance that is consistent with the prior four years since Barrett-Jackson began taking a few high end cars in the Salon section with reserves.

The Barrett-Jackson Automobilia auction, whose numbers aren’t included here, has gone for an auction day morning diversion to warm up the crowd to a full-blown production taking up all day Monday and adding to its total on each of the following auction days. The prices are in many cases eye-opening and the total reaches close to, if not over, eight figures. Automobilia’s increasing contribution is part of the evolving Barrett-Jackson crowd pleasing format.

All the numbers are below, but what the numbers don’t tell is the ever-expanding consumer displays by vendors and sponsors that fill acres of the covered display area and even more acres outside. And nothing is inexpensive, least of all entry to Barrett-Jackson which on Saturday lightened day-trippers’ pockets by $75 a head. There is plenty for the derided ‘1%’, but most of the product and service offerings are affordable and accessible to those of moderate means, like the median of $47,850 for the cars crossing the Barrett-Jackson block.

It’s a celebration of consumption that makes a mockery of politicians’ harping on a ‘hallowed out middle class.’ Silicon Valley millionaires aren’t buying the spangled clothing, video games, ski boats, telescoping flag poles and massaging lounge chairs on display, or rising to the appeal of the huge Ford, Chevrolet and Mopar new car exhibits. Investment advisors and gold coin vendors aren’t trolling the crowd expecting to find eight- and nine-figure clients.

But enough socio-political pondering.

There were some great cars at WestWorld, and even more good ones. The bidders kept their wits about them (for the most part) paying honest prices for sound cars and turning up their noses at those that didn’t measure up. Mid- to high-$40,000 cars is Barrett-Jackson’s sweet spot, the same as it is for the collector car market as a whole, a consignment strategy that Craig Jackson, Steve Davis, Gary Bennett and the Barrett-Jackson crew have developed to a high art form.

Here are the numbers:

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2016 – Auction Report

Lot # 0069.1 1969 International (IHC) Scout 800A Utility; S/N 782807G331372; Red, White roof/Tan; Truck restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $16,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $17,600 – 196/111hp four, 3-speed, 4-wheel drive, Dana 20 transfer case, bed liner, hardtop. – A few minor scratches on the passenger side roof and door. Overspray on the underbody. Otherwise very well presented, recent restoration. Originally a work truck at NC State and sat for many years. Now represented as 7,800 miles from new with a basic, truck quality restoration that was completed last year. Patina from its past life can be seen in the scratches & dings in the original brightwork. The interior is spartan with no carpet or creature comforts. The gauges and dash show chips and scratches from past use. The front and back seats look new. A good driver quality Scout with a lot of life left. – This Scout is better described as a usable and unusual weekend chore truck than as an object of admiration but it will stand out from the sea of Land Cruisers, and even K5 Blazers, wherever trucks gather. For that, it is a sound value at this price

Lot # 0154.1 1954 Ford Crestline Victoria Convertible; S/N U4PV121061; Torch Red, Sandstone White roof/Red, White vinyl; Older restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $20,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $22,000 – 239/130hp flathead, overdrive 3-speed, hood ornament, wire wheel covers, whitewalls, overdrive 3-speed, bench seat, column shift, radio, dash clock, heater. – Fresh out of long term collector ownership. Several small touched up chips on and around the nose. Decent but slightly faded older paint otherwise. The “Overdrive” badge on the tail has broken right down the middle of the second “r”, so the last three letters hang down freely. Good chrome. Very good interior. Tidy but not highly detailed underneath. An honest older restoration that has shortcomings but is pretty enough to be enjoyed. – Offered at Mecum’s Anaheim auction two and a half months ago where it didn’t sell but hammered at exactly the same amount. It is right on the money for a driver quality Crestline Victoria Convertible and is a transaction that both parties can walk away from without regret.

Lot # 0157 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Duetto Spider, Body by Pininfarina; S/N AR664115; Carmen Red/Black vinyl piped in Red; Black cloth top; Enthusiast restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $25,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $27,500– Dual Webers, steel wheels with hub caps, Mastercraft tires, Nardi woodrim steering wheel, Blaupunkt radio. – New chrome. New thermostat master cylinder. Rebuilt engine and gearbox with new clutch, new brakes, new tires, brake hoses, new tail lights. New interior. Restored gauges. Used tidy engine bay. Chrome is not new, or at least not good. Good, sound, shiny older repaint. Trunk doesn’t fit flush. Top is a little worn. Very good, lightly worn interior. Never fully done over, just gotten major stuff intermittently. A pretty driver, done up for the auction to mediocre standards and nothing serious. – Even an ‘ordinary’ Duetto Spider is an extraordinary car, but this is an ample price for this one’s condition.

Lot # 0170 1970 Ford F-100 Sport Custom Styleside Short Bed; S/N F10YRH14960; Red, White/Tan vinyl; Truck restoration, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $20,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $22,000 – 360/215hp, automatic, hub caps and trim rings, narrow whitewalls, bench seat, column shift. – Body panels are very slightly wavy, but the gaps are all even. Overspray drips on the hood. Bumpers are bright. Some scratching and age haze to stainless trim. Engine compartment fully restored and well cared for with no leaks, but the water pump paint does not match the engine. Fully restored underbody but the painted exhaust is flaking. Seat is of newer design but looks great. Several chips throughout the painted portion of the interior. A truck quality restoration that’s seen some use. – VIN is correct for the desirable 360 V-8 under the hood and the restoration leaves only a little to be desired in a dual purpose, attractive truck. The price it brought is entirely appropriate to its specifications and equipment.

Lot # 0321 1971 Fiat 850 Sport Spider, Body by Bertone; S/N 100GBS10077183; Red/Black vinyl; Black vinyl top; Enthusiast restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $10,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $11,550 – Steel wheels with hub caps, store brand radials, woodgrain instrument panel and glove box. – Small scratch at the front of the driver door and on the right rear fender. Driver’s door doesn’t fit flush. Otherwise very good recent paint and chrome. Very good, barely worn interior. Shabby older top with several small rips and a dirty, foggy plastic rear window. Very good, undercoated chassis and clean underneath. Is it done to concours standards? Of course not. It’s a 1970s Fiat. Compared to the many ratty, rusty 850 Spiders there are out there this one has gotten the royal treatment. A basic restoration finished by Classic Showcase after a previous cosmetic restoration. – A fun if not exactly fast little Italian classic driver with no obvious needs going for this kind of money is reassuring to those of us without particularly deep pockets. This was market price for an example in this condition, which in the world of old Fiats means it’s one of the better examples of its kind out there.

Lot # 0359 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe; S/N 2W87K9N137767; Nocturne Blue/Light Blue cloth; Enthusiast restoration, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $10,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $11,000 – 403/185hp, automatic, 750cfm Holley carb, Edelbrock intake, shift kit, ceramic coated headers, Flowmaster exhaust, snowflake wheels, Ram Air shaker flap, modern stereo. – Fresh repaint in Nocturne Blue. Road rash visible on the front spoiler, behind the driver’s side wheelwell and door. Car card states the interior was restored, but the seats and carpet are significantly faded and passenger side seat has several spots where the material has worn thin. The steering wheel and dash are lightly scratched and dull. The trim and body seals are in very good shape. The original engine has been rebuilt and is fitted with performance mods. – A lot of work has been done to this Trans Am, but little if any of it adds to its appeal to most collectors and its condition is, overall, indifferent. If the interior has been restored, as the car card states, it was a long time ago. It brought an appropriate price for its condition and modifications.

Lot # 0384 1984 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT Convertible; S/N 1FABP27M3EF179654; Oxford White/Canyon Red cloth; White vinyl top; Unrestored original, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500 – 302/175hp, 5-speed, Michelin TRX tires, power steering, power front disc brakes, limited slip, factory air conditioning, power top, AM/FM cassette stereo. – Unrestored with 101 miles and the plastic still on the front seats. A few light scratches on the wheels. Otherwise this car is as new. Rare in that it’s a GT350 convertible and a 5-speed car. Even so, the fact that someone would mothball a car like this for so long is shocking, and so is the fact that so many people seem to have mothballed 80s pony cars. – It may say ‘GT350’ on the side stripes, but it doesn’t say ‘Shelby’ on the hood. Putting it away for 32 years brought a seemingly handsome return, until it’s discounted. It’s less than 5% per year without taking into account storage and insurance costs and the service it took to wake it up. It’s better than investing in Tyco Labs, but not Berkshire Hathaway. The seller hit a home run out of the park with bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. This is fantastic money.

Lot # 0407 1990 Chevrolet C1500 454 SS Pickup; S/N 1GCDC14N7LZ190772; Black/Red cloth; Unrestored original, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $31,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $34,100 – 454/230hp, automatic, air conditioning, bucket seats, console, cassette player, power steering, power brakes. Full documentation including the original window sticker, brochures and even the plastic shipping seat covers. – 2,098 miles from new and all original. Flawless paint and graphics, clean mechanicals with minor surface rust on bare metal parts from storage. The interior is practically unused. To all intents and purposes totally original, carefully preserved and in showroom condition. – Sold at Auctions America’s Auburn Fall four months ago for $20,350 showing seven fewer miles on its odometer. 1990 was the 454 SS’s first year, and by far its largest production at almost 14,000. Even in this carefully preserved original condition it is not particularly rare and this is a huge price for one.

Lot # 0529 1929 Chrysler 75 Roadster; S/N 253074; Tan, Brown fenders and accent/Brown leather; Brown cloth top; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $38,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $41,800 – Body color wood spoke wheels, wide whitewalls, rear-mounted spare, rumble seat, wind wings, Depress Beam headlights, folding windshield. – Good, paint, interior and top. Major chrome is good but the windshield and top frames are thin and pitted. Good instruments and dashboard but the odometer numbers need to be redone. Orderly restored chassis and engine show a little age. A quality older restoration holding up well, a good tour car in dour colors. – A solid result for a sound and solid car. It’s not a CCCA Full Classic ™, which limits the activities in which it can be used, but it’s a lot more car than a Ford, for not a lot much more money.

Lot # 0535 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 SportsRoof; S/N 0F05M127390; Grabber Orange, Black hood stripe/Black vinyl; Modified restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $40,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $44,000 – 351/300hp, automatic, shaker hood, aftermarket stereo, 17-inch Torque Thrust style wide rim wheels, power brakes, aftermarket air conditioning, Edelbrock 4-barrel, rear window slats, wing, air dam, Autosound stereo with major speakers. – Very good paint, chrome and interior. Underbody is like new. Modifications add to drivability if not to collectability but are for the most part easily reversible with included original parts. – The price might be generous from a strict collector’s point of view, but as far as usability goes they add to the car’s appeal. That’s an important inducement here at Barrett-Jackson and the price reflects the standards of this venue.

Lot # 0550.1 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria 2-Dr. Sedan Skyliner; S/N U5FF186444; Black, Pink/White with Pink inserts; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000 – 272/162hp, automatic, green tinted roof panel, pink steel wheels with wheel covers, Goodyear whitewalls, dual antennae, bench seat, column shift, heater, dash clock, pushbutton radio. – Fully restored. Jagged plating at the edges of the rear bumper. Uneven door gaps, uneven trunk fit, driver’s door doesn’t match properly. Very good, mostly new interior with cracking steering wheel rim. A basic rotisserie restoration. It’s fresh and doesn’t need anything, but isn’t a showstopper. – Offered at Auctions America’s Auburn Fall in 2015 with a reported high bid of $59,000, its result here is more appropriate to its condition and all the consignor could hope to get for an erratically restored Skyliner.

Lot # 0552 1969 Ford Torino GT Convertible; S/N 9H43S147503; Black Jade, Gold/Black vinyl; Black vinyl top; Older restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $27,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $29,700 – 390/320hp, 4-speed, 3.25 Traction Lok axle, power brakes, Firestone Firehawk tires, hood scoop, AM radio, bench seat, Marti Report included. – Represented as matching numbers. Good overall paint with a large repaired paint chip on the driver’s side door jam. Uneven gaps on the driver door and trunk lid. Great bumpers but pitted trunk emblems. The engine compartment has been redone and the underbody painted, although the exhaust system is a combination of old and new bits. A driver’s car. – The Barrett-Jackson bidders don’t seem to have been swayed by the fact that the Marti Report identifies this Torino GT convertible as the only one with its (rather odd) combination of options. It’s a good if not exceptional car with a quality drivetrain and should be a delight to own and drive at this price.

Lot # 0559 1969 Plymouth Road Runner 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N RM23H9G297905; Yellow, Black vinyl roof/Black vinyl; Enthusiast restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $35,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $38,500 – 383/335hp, 4-speed, Air Grabber hood, Radial T/A tires, bench seat. – Fresh paint has a few masking imperfections. There are some misalignment issues between the door and fender. The panel gaps are off front to back. Grille brightwork is aged. Bumper looks new. A few chips in the paint at the rear window trim and the window stainless is hazed. Rear bumper looks new. Taillights show age. Wheels look new. Vent window rubber is aged, as is the dash. Carpet and upolustry are new. Underbody was cleaned and painted assembled. Windshield was not removed for paint. Represented as matching numbers. – A mediocre Road Runner at an appropriately mediocre price shows that the B-J bidders are fully aware of what’s good, and not so good. Consignors bring cars to WestWorld hoping for lightning to strike, and it sometimes does but for the most part results reflect the market’s attitudes and valuations.

Lot # 0572 1972 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside Pickup; S/N CCE142F349289; Orange, White/Black vinyl, houndstooth cloth; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $32,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $35,200 – Later 350 block, Quadrajet 4-barrel, automatic, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning. – Good older paint, chrome and interior. Orderly engine compartment shows some age and miles. Frame and underbody done to factory appearance. A handsome truck. – An expensive handsome truck, but a result that is only a tick off from the $32,450 it brought here a year ago. With only 126 miles showing on the odometer it can’t have given the seller much satisfaction in the past year.

Lot # 0629 1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE Coupe; S/N SCCFC20A0KHF62699; Dark Blue/Gray leather; Unrestored original, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $15,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $16,500 – Turbo SE with 264hp, OZ wheels, store brand tires, power windows, factory cassette stereo, air conditioning, Autometer speedometer in place of the factory original. – 386 miles showing on replacement Autometer speedometer/odometer, so actual mileage is unknown. Numerous chips and small scrapes on the nose. A few light general scratches rough out but otherwise sound original paint. A few light scratches on the driver’s side rub strip. Significant wear on the seats, but clean carpets and switchgear. Clean underbody. Passenger door does not close flush. A neat, appealing car and often cheap, but buying one of these on a whim can be a serious risk. This one at least appears to be screwed together well, but there may be mechanical gremlins under there, especially since the actual mileage is a mystery. – While it lacks the grunt of the later V-8 Esprits, the S3 Turbos, especially the 264-hp SE’s like this one, are plenty quick enough and just as sharp-looking. A mid-engined European exotic for economy car money sure sounds tempting, but it’s of course not always that simple. The Scottsdale bidders discounted this example’s unknown mileage and unclear history appropriately. The buyer has gotten a lot of performance and style for little money, but it could quickly turn into an expensive car if something breaks.

Lot # 0658 1967 Jaguar Mark 2 3.8 4-Dr. Sedan; S/N P1878927DN; Signal Red/Black leather; Cosmetic restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $25,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $27,500 – Centerlock wire wheels, Michelin X red line tires, dual mirrors, Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel, wood dash and window trim, wood shift knob, later cassette stereo. – Wheel lobes are battered from being been hammered on. Overspray on passenger side door jambs. Lightly pitted window frames. Good newer repaint with cracking at the bottom of the nose. Good chrome. Small gouge in the refinished wood dash, otherwise very good refurbished interior. Crack in right taillight. Restored, but not exquisitely and it was never fully apart. – This car isn’t perfect, but it’s a great driver, and getting those classic feline Jaguar lines, a silky smooth XK straight-six and about a small forest’s worth of wood in the interior for less than 30 grand is a great buy. If you don’t count E-Types, classic Jags often make for an overall good value, and this was an even bigger bargain, bought for what was claimed to be the cost of the refurbishment and well under what this level of style, comfort, performance and handling could have been expected to bring.

Lot # 0670 1972 Buick GS 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 4G37K2Z120313; White, Black hood stripe/Black; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $24,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $26,400 – 455/225hp, 4-speed, Rally II wheels, Radial T/A tires, pushbutton radio, buckets and console, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes. – Mediocre repaint with little attention paid to edges and corners. Gussied up with vinyl GSX identification and the ‘K’ in the VIN indicates it started life as a GS 350, not 455. Clean but not restored underbody. Passenger’s door doesn’t close flush. An unusual Buick muscle car in decent driver condition. – Sold by RM in Burbank in 2013 for $15,950, a price more appropriate to the presentation and modification than the result here for a car that isn’t what it appears to be. The description makes no reference to how it started life, just ‘Equipped with a 455ci V8’ which has to be read and interpreted carefully. The new owner may be disappointed upon further experience.

Lot # 0693 1967 Pontiac Beaumont 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 7361771105198; Maroon, Black vinyl roof/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $30,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $33,000 – 396/375hp, automatic, Rally wheels, Silvertown red line tires, dual mirrors, bucket seats, console, floor shift, console clock, factory radio. – Non-original, correctly date-coded engine upgraded to 375-hp specs, represented as 35,170 miles from new. Very good paint and chrome. Clean, shiny roof vinyl. Very good, like new interior. Body-off restored and clean underneath. Not overdone, just right. The Beaumont was a curious case of badge engineering, basically a Chevelle for the Canadian market, and there aren’t very many here in the US. If you like Chevelles but want to stand out from the crowd a bit, this car is a sure conversation starter. – An auction regular, traded around in 2005, selling at RM’s Boca Raton auction in February for $15,087 (or maybe it was $13,375; it was reported under two different lot numbers), then at Mecum’s Indianapolis auction in 2014 for $28,620, and here a year ago for a whopping $47,300. The present price is generous for its suspect history but it is a shiny standout that has some appeal if only for its rarity in the US.

Lot # 0725.1 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup; S/N 3JPL3991; Tan/Brown; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $35,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $38,500 – 235 six with Offenhauser dual carb intake and aluminum valve cover, red wheels with hub caps and trim rings, wide whitewalls, dual mirrors, sun visor, wood bed, Eskimo Car Cooler, heater, bench seat, column-shift 3-speed. – Driver side door molding is scratched where the sun visor has moved. Previously owned by Rick Hendrick, this truck was on display in his NC showroom and bears a few minor nicks from enthusiastic visitors. The interior has been well maintained since the restoration and is hardly worn. The wood bed has lost its varnish and would benefit from a new treatment. The wheels and undercarriage show minimal wear. – Sold at the Leake Dallas auction in 2013 for $31,900, then at their Oklahoma City sale in 2014 for $34,925. The restoration is holding up well, but showing age and some exposure. Hendrick got good value from it on display and turning it over here at WestWorld for about what they had in it makes sense. It also makes sense for the new owner who got a showpiece early Chevy pickup. If it doesn’t have a split exhaust manifold and duals it should get them to complement the dual carburetor intake.

Lot # 0737 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner Retractable Hardtop; S/N C7KW169985; Black/White, Black; Older restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $45,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $49,500 – 292/212hp, dual exhaust, Ford-O-Matic, power steering, Continental kit, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, bench seat, column shift. – Some minor scratches on the tops of the fenders and door belt lines, and chips on the edge of the hood. Brightwork shows age and scratches. Some minor dimples and dings. Interior looks original and aged but well cared for no noticeable tears or scratches. Chrome is bright, but starting to show some age. Clean but aged underbody. Gold side inserts have a few dings. A well done older restoration that has spent time in a museum. – The retracting roof mechanism of Skyliners is notoriously complicated and difficult to keep working but also the source of great pride when it is right. It takes so much attention that there’s little time for the rest of the car, something that shows in the presentation of this one, and in the price it brought.

Lot # 0743 1978 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser Utility; S/N FJ40274643; Tan, White roof/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000 – Power brakes, hubcaps, rear-mounted spare, rear heater, Vintage air conditioning, bucket seats. – Quarter-sized dimple just below the passenger side door. Very small rust color spots on the removable hardtop near both front corners. All seals look & fit like new. Exceptionally detailed, the entire truck is immaculate. A recent high quality restoration. – Sold here in 2013 for $59,400. FJ prices have settled back down for the most part after a spike in 2015, meaning this is as much a market result now as it was in 2013. There were 20 FJs in the Scottsdale auctions this year, an ample supply that contributes to the softening prices.

Lot # 0768 1948 Packard Super Eight Victoria Convertible; S/N 22794847; Metallic Olive Green/Tan leatherette, cloth; Tan Cloth top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $36,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $39,600 – Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewall tires, fender skirts, power windows, power bench seat, column shift, AM radio. – Mediocre old repaint lifting in body creases and with some touched up chips. Painted assembled with masking oversights. Sound upholstery but old door panels. Ugly old underbody repainted over old undercoat. Doors close well, with even gaps and flush fits. No felt channel for driver’s window. A decidedly mediocre presentation fluffed up for sale. – Offered at Auctions America’s Auburn Fall last September where it was reported bid to $35,000. Giving it a trip to WestWorld brought another thousand dollars on the hammer, but at least moved it on. Thoroughly and correctly restored it could be worth $90,000, but it will take all the $50,400 left between here and there, and then some, to reach that level of presentation.

Lot # 0818 1955 Mercury Monterey Station Wagon; S/N 55WA71709M; Arbor Green, Wood/Green, White vinyl; Enthusiast restoration, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $30,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $33,000 – 292/188hp, Merc-O-Matic, hood ornament, red steel wheels with wheel covers, Coker Classic whitewalls, dual mirrors, bench seat, column shift, radio, dash clock, 3-row seating. – Really bad, orange peeled respray. Dull, lightly scratched chrome. Fairly dull brightwork. Some light scratches in the wood trim and not all of it fits flush with the body. Very good newer upholstery. Dull, fairly worn original steering wheel. A rushed enthusiast restoration done in 2014 and not a great car. – The price of this Monterey station wagon says more about the popularity of wagons than it does about the relative value of this example. It is not a car to be proud of and would not have been a great value even at $22-25,000.

Lot # 0847 1947 Cadillac Series 62 Club Coupe; S/N 8453857; Red/Red; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $40,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $44,000– Wheel covers, whitewalls, rear fender skirts, bench seat, column shift, dash clock, radio. – The paint has been extensively well cared for and is color sanded, but there are some minor chips and pits throughout, especially near the hood closings and on the trunk. The bumpers are excellent. The brightwork has been very well polished and cared for but was over tightened and thus shows some minor dimples. The engine compartment is clean and shows recent maintenance but has non-stock appearing parts. No leaks. Wheel covers are very bright. The underbody was restored but is starting to show age through road grime and dust. The interior is excellent. Fully restored then stored for many years. – Sold by Mecum at the Rogers collection auction in Las Vegas in a year ago for $35,640 and not unreasonably priced here at WestWorld. In the years right after World War II this Cadillac was a statement of luxury, refinement and its owner’s success, stature it still reflects today.

Lot # 0850.1 1969 Ford Torino Cobra SportsRoof; S/N 9K46R142380; Champagne Gold/Gold vinyl; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $37,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $40,700 – 428/360hp Cobra Jet, 4-speed, hub caps and trim rings, Cooper Cobra tires, hood pins, hood scoop, tinted glass, power steering, power brakes, bucket seats, Hurst T-handle shifter, factory radio, Deluxe Marti Report. – Represented as 77,425 miles from new. Hood gaps are not quite flush. Very good paint, major chrome and interior. Dull, scratched original brightwork. Restored underneath. A basic older restoration that’s been enjoyed but is still good looking. – The only drawback in this car is that while it is an R-code Cobra Jet car, nothing said about it claims that it is the 428 under the hood that it started with. That aside, it is a quality older restoration that should be enjoyable to own, drive and show locally.

Lot # 0853 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 3J66R163088; Black/Black vinyl; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $40,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $44,000 Replacement R-Code – 427/425hp, dual quads, 4-speed, body color wheels, hub caps, bench seat, tachometer, radio delete. – The 20-year old shiny paint is a little weak around the drip edges. Pitted vent window trim, heavily scratched belt line trim. Clean, lightly used engine and underbody. The interior is complete although the sail panels are scuffed. A good driver quality Galaxie. – Honestly described, highly original and showing 24,251 miles that might well be all it covered, having gone into storage after its nights racing for pink slips were over, this is an intriguing 427 Galaxie that could have brought a lot more money but for the replacement engine. Even with that it is an exceptional value at this price.

Lot # 0860 1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe; S/N 1G1FP23F7LL124103; Bright Blue Metallic/Black cloth with Gray inserts; Unrestored original, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $45,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $49,500 – 305/230hp, 5-speed, 1LE package, cloth interior, AM/FM radio with cassette, documented with the original window sticker, books, build sheet, dealer paperwork and more. – Essentially a new car inside and out. Imagine a car driven home from the dealer and hermetically sealed and you have this car. 213 miles. One of only 34 1LEs produced in 1990. 1LE Camaros featured an aluminum driveshaft, the Corvette’s 4-wheel disc brakes and different shocks and were aimed at SCCA showroom stock. Concours judged with judging sheets included (concours events not mentioned). – The 1LE package wasn’t technically selectable and it wasn’t really advertised. Ticking a box for a performance axle triggered the options that came with it, making the car ready for showroom stock competition. It was the showroom fresh condition of this car more so than the rare options, though, that explain this price. Sold for $59,400 here five years ago, then crossed the block at Mecum’s Chicago auction in 2014 with a high bid of $32,500, so while this is a healthy price it is nothing out of the ordinary for this rare, original, undriven Camaro.

Lot # 0975 1957 Dodge D100 Sweptside Pickup; S/N 84300074; Turquoise, Black/Black vinyl with Turquoise cloth inserts; Truck restoration, 1- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000 – 325/260hp Red Ram Hemi V-8, pushbutton automatic, turquoise steel wheels with wheel covers, Silvertown whitewalls, wood bed floor. – Body off restored 100 miles ago with the Red Ram Hemi added at some point instead of the original Polyspherical 315. Front trim is coming loose on the right side. Little bit of orange peel underneath the windshield. Otherwise excellent paint, chrome, interior and underneath. Gorgeous, interesting truck that’s been given the kind of treatment that plenty of more dignified cars don’t even get to enjoy. Even more appealing in pretty colors and as a standout from the Ford and Chevy crowd. – Evidence would question the assertion it has been 100 miles since it was restored. Back in 2010 RM sold it from John O’Quinn’s collection in essentially the same condition it is in today with 140 fewer miles on the odometer for $61,600. Five years before that, in 2005, it sold at Russo and Steele in Scottsdale for $59,940 with 233 fewer miles. It sold here in 2011 for $62,700. This is the lowest price in over a decade, but it’s not getting any better with age even if practically no miles have been added. More rare than a Cameo Carrier, for no more money.

Lot # 0979 1968 Mercedes-Benz 250SL Convertible; S/N 11304312004720; White/Blue vinyl; Dark Blue cloth top; Cosmetic restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000 – 4-speed, two tops, white steel wheels with hub caps and trim rings, store brand all season narrow whitewalls, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, VDO dash clock. – A few tiny cracks around the hood but otherwise very good paint and chrome. Near perfect newer soft top. Wood console is original and a bit dry and both the steering wheel rim and cap have numerous cracks, but the rest of the interior is very good with likely newer seats and carpets. Very clean but not highly detailed underneath. A car that’s gotten cosmetic attention that left it a shiny museum piece, but never fully done over. On display at a museum in China from 2006-2015. – Reported sold by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas last year for $49,500. That result, even for a flawed 250 Pagoda, was downright cheap, and the one here in Scottsdale is still quite a bargain.

1970 Plymouth 'Cuda 2-Dr. Hardtop — Lot # 0982 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N BS23U0E132618; Burnt Orange, Black/Black vinyl; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $75,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $82,500 – 440/375hp Magnum, automatic, Radial T/A tires, hood pins, power brakes. – Represented as the matching numbers engine. Noticeable overspray. Driver’s door chrome has a small dent and scratches at the top. ‘Cuda 440 trim on the hood is tattered and worn. Passenger side window does not fit properly with the seal. The interior looks almost new with no damage or fading. The undercarriage is detailed to a high level, immaculately clean and in an attractive and unusual color. – A highly desirable car, restored to journeyman standards for driving on weekends and local shows but with several troubling oversights that don’t lend a great deal of confidence to the workmanship. Considering the issues the price is healthy.

Lot # 1004 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Convertible; S/N 11304210015913; Light Yellow, Light Yellow hardtop/Green leatherette; Black top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $45,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $49,500 – 4-speed, two tops, Blaupunkt multiband radio, body color accented hubcaps, trim rings on green steel wheels. – Repainted assembled with erratic masking and areas of light orange peel. Engine compartment has been given a pressure washer detailing and has rusty brackets. Good original interior with impressively sharp dash and gauges. Peeling old undercoat in the wheelwells. A superficial cosmetic redo of a basically sound and well preserved SL. – This combination of manual transmission, both tops and decent presentation could have brought more as the 113-series floats upward toward softening 190SL values. The underhood presentation is appealingly original, if aging, as is the original interior. All things considered the WestWorld bidders sensibly restrained their enthusiasm with a result that this price is fair to both the buyer and the seller.

1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup 4x4 — Lot # 1015 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup 4×4; S/N H255K027562; Neptune Green/Tan vinyl; Truck restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $58,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $63,800 – Six, 4-speed, NAPCO 4×4, body color steel wheels, floor shift, heater. – Very good paint with minor fisheyes and masking errors. Excellent brightwork. Immaculately restored engine bay, underbody and interior. An excellent restoration not normally seen on an old truck, even a NAPCO-equipped Chevy. – Offered at Auburn Fall four months ago to a profound lack of interest and a reported high bid of only $28,000. The consignor held on and brought it here where it got a representative price in keeping with its condition and the rarity of NAPCOs.

Lot # 1018.1 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 Fastback; S/N 8T02J149368; Candy Apple Red, White/Black vinyl; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $57,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $62,700 – 302/250hp, automatic, power steering, power disc brakes, tilt-away steering wheel, tinted glass, aftermarket radio, SelectAire air conditioning. – Older repaint with cracks around the key lock on the driver side door and hood air dams. A true 20-footer, the exterior looks good from a distance, but the wear is increasingly evident the closer you get. Fiberglas hood shows typical stress cracks. The body is straight and all panels fit well. The window seals are dry and cracked, but appear original. The windshield has a dime-sized crack in the lower passenger corner. The mostly original interior is lightly faded, but well maintained. An aftermarket radio and speakers were fitted some time ago. Under the hood is a replacement 302 V-8 equipped with headers and performance updates. Redone quite some time ago, before Shelbys were quite so collectible, and enjoyed quite a bit since. – There isn’t much Shelby in a ’68 GT350 and even less in this one with its replacement engine. With the age of the restoration and the replacement engine the seller should be happy indeed to get this much for it.

Lot # 1023 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N WM23M9A291999; Hemi Orange, Black vinyl roof, Black hood and tail spoiler/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 1 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $70,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $77,000 – 440/390hp Six Pack, automatic, power steering, lift off hood, Firestone red line tires, 4.10 Sure Grip axle, bench seat, Tic-Toc-Tach, AM radio, Govier report. – Very good paint. Well fitting roof vinyl. Shiny brightwork. Back glass has some fine scratches. The engine and underbody have been fully restored. The interior has been recently done and has little wear. All details addressed, the clock even works. A prime example from Dodge’s Scat Pack lineup from ’69. – Sold here in 2014 for $74,800 and about what is expected for it today.

Lot # 1038 1966 Dodge Charger Hemi Fastback; S/N XP29H61309756; Light Yellow/White vinyl; Visually maintained, largely original, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $79,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $86,900 – 426/425hp dual quad Hemi, automatic, power brakes, power steering, Sure Grip axle, Magnum 500 wheels, red line tires, bucket seats, console, console mounted tach, AM radio, Govier Report and ownership documents. – Very good paint. Brightwork around the taillight is pitted. Fully redone engine compartment and underbody. Well kept interior. A very solid Hemi Charger. Sold new in San Francisco and a claimed three owners from new. Never fully restored, just got attention when needed. – No mention of the origin of the engine, but that’s not unusual in a Hemi Charger which lived pretty hard lives in their early days and often saw their Hemis go up in smoke in the heat of competition. This price reflects the engine’s uncertainty but also the generally good condition of the cosmetic restoration and mechanics and the current Hemi market.

Lot # 1045 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N 194677S104802; Goodwood Green, White stinger/Dark saddle leather; White vinyl top; Concours restoration, 1- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $100,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $110,000 – 427/390hp, 4-speed, Rally wheels with hubcaps and trim rings, Firestone red line tires, side exhaust, telescopic steering column, AM/FM radio. – Four-Time NCRS Top Flight. Numerous concours trophies. Gorgeous paint and chrome. Lightly worn seats but otherwise very good interior. Spotless but not overly detailed underneath. Driver’s door doesn’t fit flush with the body. Lightly discolored top. A body-off restored, proven show car that’s been driven around a little bit but is still top notch. – The 427/435hp Tri-Power engine is more fancied by collectors but the 4-barrel 390 is arguably more drivable. This Corvette’s history of multiple concours awards and NCRS recognition and great colors makes it a Corvette to own and drive with pride and confidence and its price reflects its quality and specifications.

Lot # 1051 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 4-4-2 Convertible; S/N 338677M321358; Saffron/Saffron; Saffron top; Recent restoration, 1 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $60,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $66,000 – 400/350hp, automatic, W-30 package that includes dual snorkel air intake and trunk-mounted battery. Front power disc brakes, power steering, red line tires, bucket seats, console. – Fantastic paint and brightwork. Tight, straight top. Immaculately done engine and underbody. Like new interior. An expertly done car. Body-off restored and upgraded with the W-30 bits. – Sold by RM in Monterey in 2009 for $63,250, a huge price then just as $66,000 is today for a W30 upgraded 4-4-2. The colors add significantly to the appeal and therefore value of this 4-4-2 and neither the buyer nor the seller should be disappointed with this result.

Lot # 1055.1 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe; S/N 194375S119549; Sterling Silver/Silver; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $85,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $93,500 – 327/365hp, 4-speed, AM-FM, teakwood steering wheel, centerlock alloy wheels, gold line tires. – Represented as numbers matching, NCRS Duntov award winner, Bloomington Gold certified. Very good interior and chrome. Good clearcoat paint with some orange peel where it’s harder to wet sand. Underbody is like new with road dirt in hand to reach recesses. A quality older restored Corvette that would be better with more close attention to the chassis details. – The NCRS Duntov and Bloomington Gold say pretty much all that needs to be said about this Corvette and its auction history bears it out. It sold for $82,150 at Mecum Kissimmee in 2010, $85,800 at Auctions America Ft. Lauderdale in 2012, $84,800 back at Kissimmee in 2013 before it arrived here with this strong result. Its odometer has added just 22 miles since 2012 which is something of a shame since it should be a delight to drive. Maybe now it will get the exercise it deserves.

Lot # 1056 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 W-30 Convertible; S/N 344670M415111; White, Gold/Brown; Tan top; Recent restoration, 1- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $74,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $81,400 – 455/370hp, automatic, power steering and brakes, 3.91 axle, Firestone Wide Oval tires, bucket seats, console with shifter, AM/FM radio, 8-track player, Tic-Toc-Tach, tilt steering column, speed minder, air conditioning, power windows, locks and trunk release, headlight delay. – Repainted white instead of the original yellow. Excellent paintwork and body. New bumpers and brightwork. Immaculate mechanicals and underbody. New interior. Fully, freshly and fantastically restored, even if the color isn’t correct. – Sold by Russo and Steele in Scottsdale in 2008 for $67,100, then by Mecum in Monterey in 2012 for $82,150 and here in 2014 at the peak of the 4-4-2 market for $110,000. Today’s result traces the 4-4-2’s price trajectory and is appropriate in the present environment, but still a sound value for a quality 4-4-2 W-30 convertible with a nearly endless list of options.

Lot # 1058 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 SportsRoof; S/N 9F02G192960; Acapulco Blue, Matte Black hood/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $73,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $80,300 – 302/290hp, 4-speed, Hurst shifter, chromed Magnum-style wheels, F60-15 Polyglas GT tires, 3.91 Traction-Lok, power steering, power front disc brakes, pushbutton radio, high back seats, rear window slats, wing, air dam. – Represented as matching numbers but doesn’t come right out and say it’s the original engine, just the original transmission. Very good clearcoat repaint, interior and chrome. Underbody was done but now has some road dirt on it. Done to high standards, with some road use and age now apparent. – Sold here two years ago for $83,600 and maybe a little used since, condition reflected in its modestly lower all-in price.

Lot # 1060 1974 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe; S/N 2V87X4N160376; Cameo White, Blue/White vinyl; Recent restoration, 1- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $85,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $93,500 – 455/290hp Super Duty, automatic, Rally II wheels, Goodyear tires, Endura nose, bucket seats, Formula steering wheel, Rally gauges, console, 8-track stereo, Safe-T-Track differential. – Small chip on the passenger side rear wheel skirt is the only blemish that keeps the paint from perfection. The brightwork is better than factory, as is the interior. The tires appear, look and smell as if they were just unwrapped. Every knob is in place and there is not a single stone in the tread. Gold winner from the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals and template for how a muscle car should be restored. All that could be asked for in addition to what it has is a 4-speed. – The restorer’s attention to detail throughout this Trans Am is evident and fully justifies the exceptional price it brought.

Lot # 1070 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe; S/N 194370S403893; Marlboro Maroon/Saddle vinyl; Unrestored original, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500 – 350/370hp LT1, power brakes, M21 4-speed, 4.11 axle, Rally wheels, Goodyear Wide Tread tires, audio alarm, AM/FM radio, luggage rack, documented with original paper including the window sticker and order. – Bought new in Michigan. Represented with a cosmetic restoration underneath of the chassis and engine bay. Bloomington Gold in 1981. Worn and aged original engine bay that’s been cleaned up to presentable. Same underneath. Dull original paint with chips around the headlights and crazing on the front and rear fenders as well as the tail. Slightly dull but still shiny original chrome. A little bit of wear on some of the switchgear but really a very good original interior with minimal wear to the seats and clean throughout. An all original car with under 19,922 miles that’s a great presentation class example, plus it’s got the hot, solid lifter LT1 under the hood. – This car has just the right amount of age and wear. It’s noticeable, but light and charming. That charm of preservation and the effect that it’s had on collectors in recent years explains this result, which is the kind of money a very well restored ’70 LT1 would bring. Plus, you can always count on Corvette buyers of all tastes and budgets being at Barrett-Jackson, ready to spend.

Lot # 1084.1 1956 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Convertible; S/N 1210426500100; Gray, White hardtop/Red; White top; Unrestored original, 4+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $85,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $93,500 – Dual Webers, white hard top, hub caps and trim rings, whitewall radials, wood shift knob, Becker Europa radio, VDO dash clock. – All original with major mechanical repairs. Rebuilt motor. New brakes, tires, both tops and exhaust. Cracked, ripped original seat upholstery. No carpets. Dull but charming original paint with just the right amount of scratches and chips. Cracked whitewalls. Dry, clean and complete underneath. With the mechanical overhaul, it’s usable as it sits, although the serious rips in the seats are unfortunate. – A premium for originality was paid for this car, but it was not excessive (at least as premiums for tired, dirty cars were going in Scottsdale) and the seller endured the time and expense of getting it running and drivable again, so this was a relatively sound buy, at least as far as 190SLs are concerned, and $19,250 more than the non-running 190SL in even dirtier condition at Gooding’s Scottsdale auction. The Webers are not correct, however, and a set of rebuilt Solexes would be a good investment.

Lot # 1096 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 124379N610881; Cortez Silver, Black vinyl roof and stripes/White vinyl with houndstooth cloth inserts; Recent restoration, 1- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $140,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $154,000– 302/290hp, 4-speed, Rally Sport, 3.73 Positraction, tinted glass, remote control mirror, center console, tilt steering column, power steering, AM/FM radio. – Represented as the original numbers-matching engine, transmission and rear axle. Paint is flawless. No prep errors or un-removed trim. Bodywork shows that panels likely block sanded in place but the passenger’s door has a slightly larger gap at the fender than at the quarter panel. Underhood finish is excellent and appears correct. The white houndstooth interior has a minor imperfection in the door panels at the lock pull. The underbody has no evidence of leaks or mileage. Restored more than once, most recently in 2013, although it was painted again in 2014. Camaro Nationals Gold in 2014. – The few niggling details are easily overlooked in the context of 1969 Camaro quality control and don’t affect the caliber of this car’s 992 of 1,000 point restoration. The history and meticulous attention to detail make this a premier Z/28, but even at that this is an extraordinary price.

Lot # 1112 1993 Aston Martin Virage Volante; S/N SCFDAM2C8PBL60047; Winchester Blue/Blue leather; Dark Blue cloth top; Unrestored original, 3- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $46,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $50,600 – Weber-Marelli fuel injection, automatic, alloy wheels, Continental tires, power windows, air conditioning, dash clock, Eclipse CD stereo, wood dash, console and door trim. – Painter tape on windshield reads “Will not start. Tow.” Very good if not quite showroom fresh original paint. A couple of small rips in the back of the cloth top. Very lightly worn interior. Very clean underneath. Not the prettiest car Aston ever built, but this one is barely broken in with 6,991 miles and is finished in attractive colors. – Offered by RM in Ft. Lauderdale in 2009 with a reported high bid of $95,000, then sold here at Barrett-Jackson in 2011 for $99,000. It was presumably running then and the seller’s failure to make the effort or spend the money to fettle the driveline to even erratically running condition is reason enough to discount it by fifty percent. It will not be inexpensive to get going and exposes the new owner, unless he or she is an Aston Martin shop or mechanic, to a potentially endless series of ‘while you’re at its’ when it’s in the shop. It is not a good value even at this moderate price and with these modest miles.

Lot # 1121 1961 Chrysler 300G Convertible; S/N 8413114498; Burgundy/Tan leather; Older restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $78,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $85,800 – 413/375hp, Cross-Ram dual quads, automatic, wheel covers, Firestone whitewalls, dual mirrors, power windows, power swivel seat, arm rest, console, pushbutton automatic, black vinyl boot cover, pushbutton radio, dash clock, console tach. – Very good older paint and chrome. Lightly worn upholstery. Clean underneath. Well equipped example of a regal car. Well and fully restored a while ago. Starting to show its age with light general wear, but has nothing major to pick on and needs nothing. – One of 337 300G convertibles and from the last year of the big fin Chrysler letter cars, this is a pretty, fast and well-equipped car that could have brought well over $100,000 without being expensive. This transaction is therefore a serious bargain.

Lot # 1151 1967 Jaguar XKE SI 4.2 Roadster; S/N 1E14718; Opalescent Silver Blue/Black leather; Dark Blue cloth top; Enthusiast restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $98,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $107,800 – Triple SU carbs, centerlock chrome wire wheels, Dunlop tires, woodrim steering wheel, wood dash. – Represented as matching numbers. Light orange peel throughout the paint. Some surface rust in the screws that hold in the headlight bezels. Excellent top. Excellent interior. Decent older chrome. Pretty and restored underneath. Restored by the long-term owner and completely gone through mechanically. An enthusiast job that was done relatively thoroughly, but missed big time on the paint. Restoration completed in 2015 and 700 miles ago. The standard for E-Type restorations, particularly SI 4.2 Roadsters, is a high one. This one, redone by the owner, fell short of professional quality, at least in terms of cosmetics, and it showed. – There wasn’t a shortage of E-Types in Scottsdale, and most Jag buyers were at the catalogue sales. This one was appropriately discounted for its cosmetic shortcomings and came at a price that was slightly favorable to the buyer.

Lot # 1166 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Sport Coupe; S/N 136370L181962; Shadow Gray, Black stripes/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500 – 454/450hp LS6, M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed, 4.10 Positraction, power steering, power brakes, cowl induction hood, bench seat, Hurst shifter, factory radio. – Driver’s door is misaligned. There are a few tiny bubbles in the paint. SS wheels needed a light polish, undercarriage was completely restored. Interior looks brand new. The engine was a CRV code block but was restamped by the machinist during restoration. Engine compartment was restored but the radiator panel is warped. A great local show car with a nut and bolt restoration that missed on a few details. – Sold at Barrett-Jackson’s Las Vegas auction in 2014 for $55,000 and found its market here in Scottsdale a year and a half later. The colors are terrific and the performance should be breathtaking. One of the most storied of Muscle Cars, with all the necessary stuff to make it go and nothing to detract from performance except the power steering. Its value, however, is compromised by the absence of an ‘original engine’ declaration and that is reflected in its value both here and in Las Vegas before.

Lot # 1210 1950 MG TD Roadster; S/N TD29069; Silver Blue Metallic/Tan; Tan cloth top; Enthusiast restoration, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $21,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $23,100 – Steel wheels with hub caps and trim rings, Goodyear Corsa GT tires, dual wing mirrors, luggage rack, rear-mounted spare wheel with cloth cover, side curtains, wind wings, banjo steering wheel. – Decent older paint with a small crack on the right fender and a small scuff on the right rear fender. Lightly discolored top. Spare wheel cover has several big smudges. Light scratches on the wind wings. Lightly scratched and pitted front bumpers. Very lightly worn upholstery. Given a basic freshening, then used and is now an ideal T-Series driver. The flaws are offset somewhat by this car’s very pretty colors. – Sold by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas last year for $22,000 and with 25 fewer miles on the odometer. Both results were slightly expensive but not excessive, and the seller should be thankful to have broken even.

Lot # 1224 1997 Ferrari 456 GTA Coupe, Body by Pininfarina; S/N ZFFWP50A5V0106383; Dark Blue/Tan; Unrestored original, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $48,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $52,800 – Automatic, chromed wheels, Bridgestone tires, tinted glass, power windows, air conditioning. – 22,747 miles. Given the 30,000-mile service early and 4,000 miles ago. Numerous small stone chips on the nose. Very dark aftermarket window tint. Driver’s door handle is loose and jiggly. Lightly worn seats. A used car. The 456 is always going to live in the shadow of cars like the 550 and 355 from the 1990s, and is more a high speed cruiser than a driver’s car. And while it does have an automatic, remember that it also does not have paddle shifters. Even so, it’s got the prancing horse and a V-12 up front, and that’s enough for a lot of people. – The 456, and particularly the GTA, may be the performance value of the time in front engined Ferrari V12s, particularly at prices like this for a maintained, low miles example.

Lot # 1254 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 0F91G516287; Competition Blue, Black/Black; Older restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $79,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $86,900 – Boss 302, 3.50 Traction-Lok, close-ratio 4-speed, power front disc brakes, power steering, console, Hurst T-handle shifter, Marti Report. – Excellent paint and graphics. Excellently restored mechanicals and underbody. The interior looks virtually unused. A fantastic example of an incredibly rare Cougar. Restored quite a while ago, but immaculately kept since. – Scored 498 of 500 points in 2000 and it is hard to see where there were two points taken off, it’s that good even a decade and a half later. While it is much more rare than a Boss 302, it isn’t as recognized and Mercury’s regularly lag behind the values of comparable Fords making them a great value to an informed buyer.

Lot # 1271 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS 454 Pickup; S/N 136800K204419; Cortez Silver, Black stripes and vinyl roof/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $100,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $110,000 – 454/450hp LS6, 4.10 12-bolt rear end, cowl induction, power steering, power front disc brakes, bucket seats, tach, gauge package, Super Sport wheels. – Represented as a rare matching numbers LS6 454 El Camino SS. Phenomenal paint. Straight body and consistent gaps. The bed is meticulously restored and since unused. Clean and correct engine and underbody. Like new interior. Nothing to pick on whatsoever. Like new, refinished in the original color. This is an exceptional El Camino both in terms of condition and what it has under the hood. – OMG, what a truck. It was sold here in 2012 for $106,700 and can’t have been in any better condition then than it is now. The nearly identical results are an informative commentary on where the market has been, and is, for exceptional American Muscle.

Lot # 1275 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe; S/N 2V87X3N139660; Brewster Green/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $145,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $159,500 – 455/310hp Super Duty, automatic, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, ordered without “Screaming Chicken” graphics, honeycomb wheels, Goodyear Steelgard tires, power windows, AM/FM radio, tilt steering column. Documented with its build sheet and PHS paper. – Represented as matching numbers original engine, transmission and carburetor. Near flawless paint (single-stage, not clearcoated) and body. Meticulously restored mechanicals and underbody. The interior is virtually unused. One of 252 SD-455s produced. A superb restoration of a car that famously brought the muscle car era to a close. Done in 2014 with nothing missed and in a fantastic color to boot. – This was the Firebird Trans Am’s year to shine in the January Arizona sun and none shone more brightly than this. It was reported bid to $100,000 at Russo and Steele in Scottsdale a year ago and met its audience here at WestWorld a year later. It is, no doubt, expensive, but it also is a fabulous Trans Am.

Lot # 1279 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster; S/N E54S001147; Polo White/Red vinyl; Beige cloth top; Unrestored original, 4+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $100,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $110,000 – 235/150hp, Powerglide, WonderBar radio, spinner wheel covers, wide whitewalls. – Blistered original paint, sound original upholstery, dirty original engine and chassis. The ‘Entombed’ Corvette bricked up behind a store in Brunswick, Maine in 1959 where it stayed until 1986. Tired, scruffy and neglected, but a piece of Corvette history. – Sold by Mecum at Kissimmee in 2014 for $86,400, this is an historical artifact and, literally, an icon of the Corvette mystique. Restoration would be an affront to the passions of millions of Corvette owners, not to mention destroying a wonderful history. What’s it worth? Apparently at least this much.

Lot # 1287 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 Fastback; S/N 67402F4A01487; Wimbledon White/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $130,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $143,000 – 428/335hp, 4-speed, power brakes, power steering, folding rear seat, 10-spoke alloy wheels, E70-15 Goodyear tires, Rally-Pac gauges, woodrim steering wheel, center grille high beams, functional rear brake scoops. Ford VIN 7R02Q178525. – A rare stripe delete car. Paint looks very good, so is the panel fit. Brightwork is excellent. Engine bay is clean and correct with some signs of use. Underneath is clean with only slight evidence of wear. Excellent interior with very little wear. 49,971 miles from new, documented by a Deluxe Marti Report. – Sold by Mecum at Indy last May for $152,280, the seller came up short in the flip, but the buyer got full value for the money.

Lot # 1294 1967 Plymouth Belvedere II Hemi 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N R023J71202505; White/Black vinyl with cloth inserts; Visually maintained, largely original, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $77,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $84,700 – RO23 code “Super Stock” car. 426/425hp Hemi, automatic, body color wheels with rear slicks, Ram Air hood, bench seat, heater, radio insulation, seam sealer delete, reverse column shift, documented with broadcast sheet and original fender tag. – Good paint. Slightly dull trim around the rear window. Very clean engine, original interior and underbody. A fantastic factory race car with claimed 250 miles (likely earned 1/4 mile at a time). Date-coded 1966 Hemi engine. – This is serious Muscle, designed for nothing other than gobbling up a quarter mile from a standing start in the shortest time possible. Does the ’66 engine make a difference? Surely, but for most purposes other than determining price it has little relevance. It is a whole lot of car for the money. Its hammer price here is only $2,000 more than it brought in a no-sale at Mecum’s Chicago auction three months ago.

Lot # 1315 1955 Packard Caribbean Convertible; S/N 55881356; White, Red, Black/Red, White, Black; White top; Cosmetic restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $120,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $132,000 – 352/275hp, automatic, chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, dual antennae, white vinyl boot cover, rear fender skirts, power steering, power brakes, bench seat, column shift, power windows, pushbutton radio, dash clock. – Very good recent paint, chrome and redone brightwork. Long, light scratch right in front of the driver’s door. Lightly pitted windshield frame. Some orange peel right below the windshield. Lightly worn seats in an otherwise very good interior. Clean engine bay. Slightly dirty underbody. Claimed less than 250 miles on rebuilt drivetrain. 356 of 500 built. A ’55 Caribbean convertible is always going to draw your eye and this one is no exception. Not immaculately restored, but it is nevertheless a pretty car to be seen in. – Sold at Mecum Seattle in 2014 for $88,560. Values for big ’50s cars like this haven’t really moved in the last couple of years. The result in Seattle was a sound value, but the result here is excessive. The buyer paid for the best, but didn’t get it.

Lot # 1315.1 1956 DeSoto Fireflite Convertible; S/N 50384411; Shell Pink, Charcoal/Rose vinyl, cloth; Charcoal cloth top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $170,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $187,000 – 330/255hp, dual quads, pushbutton automatic, steering wheel hub self-winding DeSotomatic clock, chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, pushbutton radio. – Consistently excellent cosmetics outside, inside and underneath. Freshly restored and better than new without going too far. – This was the right year to bring a beautifully restored, rare DeSoto convertible to WestWorld, playing off the publicity generated by the sale of three Adventurer convertibles later on Saturday. Placing this Fireflite convertible first was something of a risk but it paid off in a superior price that even beat one of the Adventurers. Maybe it was the clock?

Lot # 1332 1972 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coupe; S/N 1Z37L2S514454; Elkhart Green/Saddle leather; Older restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $175,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $192,500– ZR1 package, 350/255hp LT1 engine, M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed, F41 suspension, 4.11 Positraction, J56 disc brakes, Goodyear Wide Oval tires, radio delete, tank sticker included. – Good paint. The front bumper has a few scratches. The engine compartment appears original and faded. The underbody has some surface rust starting. The driver’s seat has minimal wear on an otherwise clean interior. An old nut and bolt restoration of a 16,303 mile original engine car that still shows well. One of just 14 of these ZR1 coupes, making it one of the rarer Corvettes out there. – Hammered not sold at Mecum’s Spring Classic in 2010 at a high bid of $200,000, then hammered not sold at Mecum Houston in 2014 for $107,000. These early ZR1s are serious competition cars with everything needed to go from showroom floor to race track starting grid and nothing extraneous. This example is appropriately documented and was impressively restored but now has aged from sitting around on display and would be better served by being driven. After its dormancy it will need careful attention before its performance is experienced but the reward in endorphins will be worth the effort, even at this extraordinary price.

Lot # 1340 1940 Ford Deluxe Chassis; S/N 1; Maroon, /; Older restoration, 1 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $80,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $88,000 – A show car cutaway frame, chassis and driveline restored to show car condition. Displayed at the 1939 New York World’s Fair and other places, later used as an educational tool. – Impressively restored and rather fascinating in the detail revealed by its many cutaway components, this is a remarkable and unique piece of Ford history and it is impossible to argue with the result here.

1970 Plymouth 'Cuda Hemi 2-Dr. Hardtop — Lot # 1341 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda Hemi 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N BS23R0B349189; Vitamin C Orange, Black vinyl roof/Black vinyl; Older restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $225,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $247,500 – 426/425hp Hemi, 4-speed, power brakes, shaker hood scoop, Rallye wheels, Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, console, pistol grip shifter, AM radio. Fully documented with broadcast sheet and Govier Report. – Represented as the original engine and transmission. Excellent paint and graphics. The hood alignment needs adjusting. Excellent mechanicals and underbody. Driver’s seat covering is a tad worn on an otherwise like new interior. A very pretty older rotisserie restored Cuda in high impact color. – Hammered not sold at Russo and Steele Scottsdale in 2007 at $400,000. Then hammered not sold again at Russo and Steele in Monterey later that year at $300,000. Prices for these premium muscle cars plummeted during 2008, so although this car is in the same condition it was with just over 300 more miles than it had in 2007, it brought a painfully smaller amount than was offered back then. People usually wish they had bought a car for cheap when they had the chance and then sold it years later when it got valuable. With this car it’s the other way around, wishing you had sold a car back when it was red-hot and settling now that it’s cheaper. Even at that, it brought a premium price in today’s Hemi ‘Cuda market, a premium amply supported by the rarely seen original engine and 4-speed.

Lot # 1346 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 242379B163075; Carousel Red, Blue/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $180,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $198,000 – 400/370hp Ram Air IV, 4-speed, power steering and brakes, Rally II wheels, red line tires, bucket seats, AM radio, PHS documented. – From the Thomas Stutzman Collection. High quality paint and body, all gaps are even. Very well restored engine and underbody to the highest detail. The interior is all new. A wonderful body-off restored Judge. One of 239 Judges with Ram Air IV and a 4-speed. – The third of Thomas Stutzman’s GTOs offered in succession during Saturday Prime Time, all restored to comparable standards of consistent excellence and quality and all bought for strong prices consistent with their performance, provenance and presentation.

Lot # 1349 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Ram Air III 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 223379N112402; Polar White, Blue stripes/Blue vinyl; Concours restoration, 1- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $160,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $176,000 – 400/335hp Ram Air III, automatic, power steering and brakes, air conditioning, Rally II wheels, Goodyear Polyglas tires, T3 headlamps, console, AM radio, PHS documented. – From the Thomas Stutzman Collection. Excellent paint and brightwork. Hood alignment is very slightly erratic. Immaculate engine and chassis. The interior is well restored. A supreme example of a first year Trans Am. – Even with Firebirds nearly everywhere at WestWorld this year this first year model stood out for its distinctive appearance and the quality of its restoration and presentation. Black Trans Ams are almost ubiquitous but early Trans Ams are unusual and a more pure statement of Pontiac’s version of the Pony Car. This is a generous price but it bought a car that is all but flawless and desirably A/C equipped.

Lot # 1351 1955 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster; S/N VE55S001001; Polo White/Red vinyl; Beige cloth top; Older restoration, 2 condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $550,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $605,000 – 265/195hp, Powerglide, WonderBar radio, bias ply wide whitewalls, spinner wheel covers. – Very good older paint, chrome and interior. Underbody and chassis restored like new with factory finishes. Wide panel gaps and uneven fits. A quality older restoration with some age but only show field miles. NCRS Top Flight in 2008. The first V8 Corvette – built on a 1954 frame and body modified for the V8. – One of a set of three chassis number 1 Corvettes offered as a single lot, presented here at 1/3 the all-in group price of $1,815,000.

Lot # 1352 1956 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N E56S001001; Venetian Red, Polo White coves/Red vinyl; Beige vinyl top; Older restoration, 2 condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $550,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $605,000– 265/225 hp, Dual quads, 3-speed, WonderBar radio, spinner wheel covers, bias ply wide whitewalls, power top, solid lifter camshaft. – The first dual quad Corvette, pre-production body panels, no fender vents. Very good older paint, chrome, top and interior. Chassis and underbody are done like new and only a little dusty. A quality older restoration to showroom condition with only show miles since. NCRS Top Flight in 2008. – One of a set of three chassis number 1 Corvettes offered as a single lot, presented here at 1/3 the all-in group price of $1,815,000. Some of the body panels are hand laid and it is the only ’56 built without fender scoops.

Lot # 1353 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N E57S100001; Cascade Green, Beige coves/Beige vinyl; Beige vinyl top; Older restoration, 2 condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $550,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $605,000 – 283/225 hp, dual quads, Powerglide, WonderBar radio, spinner wheel covers, bias ply wide whitewalls, hardtop and power soft top. – Very good older paint, chrome, interior and top. Factory finishes underneath showing a little age but no discernible use. The first 283 Chevy, one of a lot of perhaps 20 engines built in July 1956. 2008 NCRS Top Flight. The 225hp engine rating is inconsistent with 1957 production 283 Corvettes with dual quads. – One of a set of three chassis number 1 Corvettes offered as a single lot, presented here at 1/3 the all-in group price of $1,815,000. It’s impossible under the circumstances to apportion value to a specific one, although perhaps the ’55, the first V8 Corvette, is the most important. In any event the set brought huge money and none of them are likely to be driven much more than on and off a show field, they’re that significant.

Lot # 1357 1957 Chevrolet 150 Black Widow 2-Dr. Sedan; S/N VA57A124372; Black, White/Silver; Concours restoration, 1- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $187,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $205,700 – 283/283hp Fuel injection, 6-lug wheels, Fenton headers and exhaust, Hydrovac brake system, 20-gallon fuel tank, 3.90 rear end, bench seat, column shift. – Very good paint. Brightwork is all like new. Meticulously restored engine compartment. Fully redone underbody with negligible signs of use. Excellent interior. A beautiful piece of Chevrolet racing history. Represented as one of the six SEDCO-built Chevrolet factory cars for the 1957 season, driven by Jack Smith, but undocumented. – Will anyone ever know for certain and for sure that this Black Widow is one of the original Black Widows? Probably not in the absence of any documentation from Chevrolet of its original delivery. It is, on the other hand, a marvelous restoration and at least has some semblance of SEDCO-ness. The bidders bought the hope and the quality of presentation.

Lot # 1358 1963 Pontiac Catalina Sport Coupe; S/N 363P165870; Silver/Blue vinyl with cloth inserts; Competition restoration, 1 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $375,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $412,500 – 421/410hp, dual quads, 3-speed, Swiss Cheese Super Duty, hub caps, rear slicks, race exhaust, aluminum front end, bench seat, heater and radio delete. The last Super Duty built before GM pulled out of factory racing. – Like new paint and brightwork. Even panel gaps and body lines. Meticulously restored engine and underbody. Perfect interior. The must have car for Pontiac racing enthusiasts. – Heavily promoted and beautifully presented, this is an historic Poncho that brought an equally historic price.

Lot # 1359 1953 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster; S/N E53F001300; Polo White/Red vinyl; Black cloth top; Older restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $485,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $533,500 – 235/150hp, Powerglide, WonderBar radio, spinner wheel covers, wide whitewalls. – The last ’53 Corvette built. Restored a few years ago and starting to show a little age but still impeccable. Bloomington Gold, Pebble Beach, NCRS Top Flight and Duntov Award. – This is an appropriate price for an historic Corvette, the last one assembled in Flint. The age of the restoration is showing but it’s a car that will do nothing but sit on display and it is one of several important milestones in Corvette history sold at Barrett-Jackson this year.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2016 – Auction Report Page Eight

Lot # 1367 1977 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo Coupe; S/N 9307800254; Ice Green Metallic/Black with Green tartan cloth inserts; Recent restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $240,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $264,000 – Black center Fuchs, Bridgestone Potenza tires, sunroof, rear wiper, tinted glass, power windows, air conditioning, Blaupunkt radio, VDO dash clock. – Always in California. From the final year of the 3.0-liter 930 and the second year of the Turbo Carrera, as it was called in the US market. Very good exterior plastic. Excellent paint and interior aside from some light orange where it’s hard to wet sand. Clean and restored underneath. Restored to like new and finished in a relatively rare color along with the always cool tartan seats. – While a flood of 911s to the market may mean that Porsche prices won’t continue their steep march upwards, prime examples of particularly collectible models will likely continue to demand high prices. This spectacular early 930 would have been perfectly at home among the shiny offerings at Gooding or RM, but still brought the very healthy result it deserved at Barrett.

Lot # 1368.1 1961 Jaguar XKE SI flat floor Roadster; S/N 875169; Gunmetal Grey/Red leather; Black cloth top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $400,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $440,000 – Chrome wire wheels, bias ply blackwall tires, outside bonnet latch, welded louver. – Freshly restored with excellent paint, chrome and interior. Show polished engine compartment, like new underbody and suspension. Cosmetics are better than new and fresh. – This is the XKE everyone wants, even though few people have feet small enough to operate the pedals safely in the constricted footwells and the seats are Geneva Convention violating instruments of torture after half an hour in them. But people still want them and they are egregiously expensive trophies, like this transaction.

Lot # 1369 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Convertible; S/N 194679S723530; LeMans Blue, Black vinyl hardtop/Blue vinyl; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $525,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $577,500 – 427/430hp L88, 4-speed, hardtop only, Rally wheels, trim rings, narrow whitewalls heater, no radio, documented with the original tank sticker. – Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Restored like new, 2014 NCRS Top Flight. – Reported sold by Mecum in Monterey last August for $825,000, and the Corvette market (particularly the L88 market) hasn’t collapsed since. There were two L88s in Scottsdale, with a ’69 coupe selling for $625,000 at the Gooding & Company sale. The caliber of the restoration is top notch and the price is if anything a good value. Corvette collectors must have spent their allowance on the three s/n 1 cars offered earlier.

Lot # 1370 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition Coupe; S/N 1FAFP90S16Y401469; Heritage Blue, Orange stripe/Black leather, suede; Unrestored original, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $475,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $522,500 BBS wheels, McIntosh stereo. – One of 343 Heritage Editions built in 2006. 5,718 miles from new, which is relatively high for a Ford GT. – The Heritage Editions, despite being built in some quantity and having nothing more special than a flashy paint job, are the market leaders in Ford GTs, consistently selling for 50% or more over more subtle color schemes. This one has relatively high mileage for a GT and has been bandied about from auction to auction for the last two years, selling at Auctions America’s Auburn Fall in 2014 for $360,000, then at Mecum Anaheim in November 2014 for $405,000 before coming up short at Mecum Austin in December 2014 and Indy in May 2015 where it was reported bid to $400,000 both times. It hit its sweet spot at WestWorld, nearly the record for a Heritage Edition, but even at that half a million dollars is not a lot for one of these.

Lot # 1371 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427/435 Coupe; S/N 194377S111356; Tuxedo Black, Red stinger/Black leather; Unrestored original, 2- condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $475,000 – 427/435hp, 4-speed, AM-FM, side exhausts, red line tires, power windows, 3.70 Positraction, transistor ignition, documented with the tank sticker and original window sticker ($5,780.55). – Excellent original paint, chrome, interior and body trim. Has had attention as needed but has never been restored, Bloomington Gold certified, NCRS Top Flight. – Originality is important but it is hard to see how it can support a price even as much as the high bid, let alone more.

Lot # 1372 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427/435 Convertible; S/N 194677S115123; Rally Red, Black stinger, White vinyl hardtop/Red vinyl; Older restoration, 2- condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $400,000 – 427/435hp, 4-speed, alloy wheels, red line tires, side exhausts, 3.55 Positraction, F41 suspension, power brakes, AM-FM, hardtop, tank sticker documented. – Excellent older paint and interior. Big chip behind the passenger’s door, scuffed windshield post trim. Underbody and chassis superficially cleaned of road dust but still nearly like new. Naber brothers restoration with NCRS and Bloomington Gold awards on a well known Corvette with 8,034 miles. – The history of this Corvette as ‘The Music Car’ is part of Corvette lore but why it was restored without the special order red, white and blue stripes specified by the original owner, Freddie Haeffner, doesn’t compute. It was bid to $430,000 at Russo and Steele here in Scottsdale in 2007 and seems like it could have been sold without significant regret for the high bid here at Barrett-Jackson.

Lot # 1375.1 1963 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster; S/N 24539; Black, Black hardtop/Red leather; Black cloth top; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $130,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $143,000 – Becker ‘High Fidelity’ radio, body color wheels, hubcaps, trim rings, whitewall tires, dual outside mirrors, two tops. – Very good paint, chrome and upholstery. Sharp engine compartment. Underbody painted assembled over old, peeling undercoat. Thin windshield frame and window sill chrome. – This 190SL’s restoration isn’t as good, or as thorough, as the price it brought indicates. Even with both tops it is an expensive 190SL as their prices slide slowly back to earth.

Lot # 1377 1934 Cadillac 370-D V-12 Coupe (Vee Windshield), Body by Fleetwood; S/N 4100270; Dark Blue/Tan Broadcloth; Older restoration, 3 condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $300,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $330,000 – Dual enclosed sidemount, trunk, biplane bumpers, radio, heater, wide whitewalls. – Nellie Jackson’s famed V-12 Cadillac, driven from Michigan to Scottsdale when the family emigrated decades ago. Sound but chipped and scuffed old paint, weak chrome, good upholstery and instruments. Right side beltline molding fits unevenly. Underbody is aged and surface rusted from being cleaned but not thoroughly dried. A sound but aged and used driver. – This is a car with history and the cutaway front fender lower corners that make ’34 Cadillacs so distinctive. In good, sound, presentable older restored condition, it will be a great CCCA CARavan tour car, even at this healthy price for a coupe.

Lot # 1378 1939 Talbot-Lago T-15 Cabriolet; S/N 91626; Brown/Taupe leather; Brown cloth top; Older restoration, 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $500,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $550,000 – RHD. Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, standard transmission, leaf spring steering wheel spokes, rear-mounted spare, luggage rack, Michelin headlights and fog lights. – Good older paint, chrome and interior. Interior looks newer than the outside. Underbody and chassis were done like new and now show some age and use. Paint is flawed along the beltline molding; taillight chrome is thin and water spotted. A handsome car showing its age but little use. – Bid to $250,000 at the Tokyo Auction in 1992, it appears today just as it did then except for minor evidence of age after a LeCoq restoration in 1990. One of the great Grandes Routieres of France, it is eligible for many desirable and exclusive events and will even show well in recognition of the quality and preservation of its quarter century old restoration.

Lot # 1379 1958 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Convertible; S/N 1210428500718; Red/Black vinyl; Black cloth top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $120,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $132,000 – Blaupunkt multiband radio, body color wheels, hubcaps, trim rings, narrow whitewalls, two tops. – Repainted over old paint with shrinkage cracks all across the cowl. Thin windshield frame chrome, along windowsills and on interior handles. Wheel wells repainted over old, peeling undercoat. An auction car. – Represented as 39,062 miles and stored for 36 years, this 190SL was rushed through a superficial cosmetic restoration to catch the 190SL wave. While the wave is subsiding this car caught just enough of it to achieve a strong result, one that is better than its presentation.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2016 – Auction Report Page Nine

Lot # 1379.1 1953 Delahaye 235M 2-Dr. Hardtop, Body by Saoutchik; S/N 818039; Plum, Tan coachline/Cream; Older restoration, 3+ condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $1,600,000 – RHD. Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, pre-selector gearbox. – Attractive and unusual coachwork by Saoutchik with a big, light, airy greenhouse and little of Saoutchik’s flashy embellishments. Good older paint, chrome and upholstery. Underbody and chassis are clean and orderly but not fresh, but looking at the coachwork, it makes little difference. It is a gorgeous car. – Seductively styled by Saoutchik, this car’s value is mostly attributable to the coachwork even if it’s not to everyone’s taste. It represents one of the final breaths of great French chassis and coachbuilding, a milestone. It’s not hard to understand why the seller preferred taking it home to swapping it even for this much money.

Lot # 1380 1957 DeSoto Adventurer Convertible; S/N 50418679; Black, Gold/Gold vinyl, Black cloth; Tan cloth top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $150,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $165,000 – 345/345hp Hemi, dual quads, pushbutton automatic, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, gold wheel covers, whitewalls, dual outside mirrors, dual rear antennas, pushbutton radio. – Excellent paint, chrome, interior and top. Instrument panel looks like a brand new jukebox. Underbody is sharp and clean. Anodized wheel covers are lightly scuffed. Not fresh, but a beautiful car superb maintained. – The first of a series of three Adventurer convertibles offered in year series and the least expensive of the three. There is nothing to quibble about with the restoration or its preservation and the car is worth all of what it brought.

Lot # 1381 1958 DeSoto Adventurer Convertible; S/N LS37760; White, Gold/White, Green-Gold vinyl, Green-Gold cloth; White vinyl top; Recent restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $240,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $264,000 – 361/345hp, dual quads, pushbutton automatic, power steering, power brakes, power windows, bench seat, spinner wheel covers, whitewalls dual outside mirrors and rear antennas. – Doors don’t close flush at the bottom and there is an edge chip or two but otherwise the paint, chrome, interior, top and dashboard are first rate. Underbody is done to showroom standards. – One of only 82 Adventurer convertibles built in 1958 and gorgeous in its bright white livery set off by the gold anodized rear fender panels, this is a charismatic and extremely rare automobile that has been meticulously restored and maintained. It brought a reasonable price for what it is.

Lot # 1382 1959 DeSoto Adventurer Convertible; S/N M491100249; Black, Gold/White, Gold vinyl, Black cloth; Tan cloth top; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $200,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $220,000 – 383/350hp, dual quads, pushbutton automatic, power steering, power brakes, pushbutton radio, power windows, gold wheel covers, whitewalls, swivel driver’s seat. – Very good paint, interior and top. Weak window frame chrome with some pits. Orderly underbody is nearly like new. Well restored to high standards a while ago, showing some age but little use. – The last of the sequence of three Adventurer convertibles, with a restoration that is a little more aged than the previous two but still a futuristic ‘Forward Look’ design that will never lack for attention. It brought a reasonable price consistent with its features, performance, design and rarity.

Lot # 1383 1947 Talbot-Lago T26 Record Cabriolet, Body by Worblaufen; S/N 100089; Red/Tan leather; Tan cloth top; Older restoration, 1- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $650,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $715,000 – RHD. Pre-selector gearbox, leaf spring steering wheel spokes, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, later Jaeger gauges, Marchal headlights and fog lights. – Very good paint, chrome and interior. Underbody and chassis are neatly painted but the inside of the frame rails are old and dirty. Clean, sharp engine compartment. One of three built with this practical but also graceful cabriolet coachwork. Given its age, the condition is highly impressive; not concours, but a car to own with pride. – $350,000 would have bought this Talbot-Lago at The Auction in Las Vegas in 1991 when it was fresh from its restoration. It is a key that opens doors to many important and enjoyable events as well as being a strong, capable, comfortable vehicle for tours and is a sound value at this price.

Lot # 1384 1924 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Spinto Touring, Body by LeBaron; S/N 489; Black, Red/Black leather; Black cloth top; Older restoration, 3- condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $325,000 – RHD. Red wood spoke wheels, 23 inch blackwall tires, dual rear spares, opening windshield. – Fair old paint, sound but used upholstery, old varnish. Bigamist patch on left center body, sound chrome. Red beltline repainted assembled and awkwardly masked. Thin top frame chrome. Underbody and chassis recently cleaned up and resprayed with chassis black. A magnificent car but aged and superficially prepared for the auction despite mechanical freshening in 2014 by Brian Joseph.. – Offered at RM’s Arizona auction last year with a reported high bid of $280,000 and bid here to a higher, but still non significant, amount. This is a great old car with distinctive American coachwork by LeBaron but the age of the restoration isn’t in its favor.

Lot # 1385 1965 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet, Body by Reutter; S/N 161161; Engine # P812921; Champagne Yellow/Dark Green leather; Dark Green cloth top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $95,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $104,500 – Blaupunkt AM-FM-Multiband radio, Porsche woodrim steering wheel, chrome wheels, hubcaps, Dunlop radial blackwall tires. – 6 miles since Monterey when it was described thusly: Good paint over a consistently filled body, very good upholstery, fresh, flexible new body rubbers. Clean, tidy undercoated underbody. Very clean, fresh engine compartment. Flat panels and flush fits. An attractive car that shows good workmanship and good materials. – Reported bid to $195,000 at Mecum Indy last May, then $180,000 at Mecum Monterey in August, it found its level at this bargain basement price here at B-J. The Porsche buyers must have been chasing 911s because this is a breathtaking value in a 356 SC Cab.

Lot # 1386 1962 Porsche 356B Super 90 Cabriolet, Body by Reutter; S/N 155837; Ivory/Red leather; Black cloth top; Recent restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $115,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $126,500 – Pushbutton AM radio, chrome wheels, hubcaps, blackwall radial tires. – The observation here is the same as it was at Monterey five months ago and Indy last May: ‘Good paint over plentiful filler. Mixed chrome with many weak and pitted trim items. Good interior and top, clean, orderly engine compartment. Clean, freshly painted underbody. Engine number said to match the Porsche CoA. Erratically and inconsistently done and not reassuring.; – Offered by Mecum at Indy last May with a reported high bid of $180,000, then at Monterey in August where it was bid to a reported $150,000. It found its level here in Scottsdale where Porsche buyers were looking for 911s, not 356s. It is a very good value at this price – unless the 356 market is following oil driller stocks into the sub-basement.

Lot # 1389 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N J59S100243; Purple, White/Black; Competition restoration, 2- condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $1,000,000 – “Purple People Eater”. 283 Fuel injection, 4-speed, chrome wheels, Dunlop Racing tires, driver’s wraparound windscreen, chrome paperclip rollbar. – Restored by Kevin MacKay for Chip Miller. Good older cosmetics, chassis shows some age and use but is orderly. It has a marvelous period racing history with Jim Jeffords winning the SCCA National B-Production championship. – One of the most notable of all Corvette race cars, but how much more could it be worth?

Lot # 1392 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Coupe; S/N WP0CA2A13FS800561; White/Black; Unrestored original, 2+ condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $1,600,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $1,760,000 – 20/21 inch Michelin Pilot Sport tires, centerlock wheels, yellow brake calipers, carbon fiber brake discs, air conditioning, Burmeister stereo, books, extra key, factory car cover and charging station. – New car with 595 extremely scary miles trying to control all this power even with electronic driver aids. One of 918 built. 608hp 4.6 liter V8 supplemented by two electric motors and batteries that add another 154hp at the back and 125hp at the front. – An instant collectible? Late model supercars like this Porsche 918 have an instant following. Porsche stickers this at about $860,000 bringing its price here (after production has ended) to double the sticker. Exclusivity has its price, and RM got $1,595,000 for its, but the price of exclusivity and ‘I have the newest thing’ is expensive.

Lot # 1393 2003 Saleen S7 Coupe; S/N 1S9SB18193S000021; Silver/Black leather, Grey trim; Unrestored original, 2 condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $410,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $451,000 – Car number 03-02. CD stereo, chrome 20 inch 6-spoke wheels, 625hp naturally aspirated Competition Package equipment. – Like new and represented to have 9,100 miles. – Saleen S7s were $250,000 cars until Monterey last August when RM got $682,000 for Pinnacle Portfolio’s Twin Turbo. That brought them out of the woodwork to the point where there were three in Scottsdale, all of them setting benchmarks based upon their configuration, especially notable for the lack of any competition success for the S7. This one was offered at Mecum’s Harrisburg sale in 2014 where it brought a high bid of $315,000 and who would have thought that would seem to be a bargain.

Lot # 1395 1950 Ferrari 195 Inter Coupe, Body by Touring; S/N 0081S; Blue Scurro/Camel leather, cloth; Older restoration, 2+ condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $1,550,000 – RHD. Chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, 185-15 Pirelli tires. – 1951 Turin Auto Show car, one of three bodied in this style. Stored many years and recently restored in original colors and materials by Terry Scarborough Racing, color changed since to the present dark blue. Original engine, body, gearbox, rear axle. Restored five years ago to very high standards and better than new. Multiple concours awards including Platinum at Cavallino in 2009. Lightly swirled paint, good chrome and interior. – Sold by RM at Monterey in 2007 as an incomplete restoration for $429,000, then by Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2011 freshly restored for $990,000. It has no special history other than its Turin show appearance and its survival, largely complete and quietly preserved in a Massachusetts garage until 2006. That said, however, it is a ticket to some great events and that alone is worth somewhat more than the reported high bid.

Lot # 1396 1965 Shelby Cobra 289 Roadster; S/N CSX2495; Navy Blue, Silver stripes/Black leather; Black top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $725,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $797,500 – 289, four Webers, centerlock alloy wheels, Goodyear Eagle tires, matte black side exhausts, grille and trunk guards, clock. – Very good paint, chrome, interior, engine and chassis. Neat, fresh and enticing with an intriguing history of having been the Cobra that led Jim Inglese to design, develop, tune and perfect side draft Weber induction systems for V8 engines. – This Cobra has more history than the usual rack & pinion 289, not to mention a sharp restoration and presentation. It would not have been a surprise to see it bring even six figures more that this price based on its history and condition.

Lot # 1396.1 1992 Ferrari 512 TR Coupe; S/N ZFFLG40A0N0092146; Yellow/Black leather; Unrestored original, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $325,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $357,500 – Air conditioning, alloy wheels, Pirelli PZero tires. – 908 miles. Engine out serviced last May. Tires look new. – Put-away-when-new TRs are becoming a regular in the auction market and there were two of them in the Monterey auctions of which this was the more original and lower mileage. It also brought a price $100K more than that of its higher mileage 512 TR counterpart at RM. This one was offered at Mecum’s Monterey auction last August with a reported high bid of $440,000. The consignor must be looking longingly back on the missed opportunity.

Lot # 1398 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Cabriolet, Body by Kellner; S/N 164PY; Taupe, Brown fenders/Red leather; Taupe cloth top; Older restoration, 1- condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $700,000 – RHD. Body color wheel discs, wide whitewalls, enclosed rear spare, Marchal headlights. – 1990 Pebble Beach Gwen Graham Award winner and little used in the quarter century since. Still with very strong paint, chrome and interior. Minor blisters along the trunk lid margin, small chips at the driver’s door front edge. Excellent interior wood and chrome. – An extraordinary automobile designed and bodied for fast, luxurious passages on the roads of Europe in the Thirties. The combination of coachwork and the Continental chassis, even with the aging older restoration and dated colors, are elegant and cultured, although how much more than the reported high bid they might bring is a question.

Lot # 1399 1925 Renault 40CV Touring; S/N 139416; Cream/Tan leather; Tan cloth top; Older restoration, 3+ condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $325,000 – RHD. Varnished wood spoke wheels, 23 inch blackwall tires, wind wings, dual sidemounts, Phares Besnard electric lights, turn signals, Marchal taillights. – A comprehensive 1980’s restoration for the Nethercutt Collection that still looks very fresh. Immaculate tan interior with ornately stitched door panels. Very good paint, nickel and wood tonneau trim. Chassis and suspension show some age and limited use. A magnificent, rare and powerful automobile. – Largely overlooked, the Renault 40CV is on a par with, and in many ways surpasses, the Silver Ghosts of the period. This one was sold at Gooding’s Pebble Beach auction in 2010 for $374,000, then at RM’s St. John’s auction in 2014 for $264,000, this bid would seem to have been sufficient to part it from its owner. Even at a little more it is a powerful 140hp touring machine that will educate a whole new era of spectators to Renault’s heritage.

Lot # 1400.2 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 SportsRoof; S/N 0F02Z127597; Grabber Green, Black hood scoop/Black vinyl; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $260,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $286,000 – 429/375hp, 4-speed, Hurst shifter, pushbutton radio, chrome styled wheels, Polyglas GT tires, rear window slats, wing, air dam, 3.91 Traction-Lok. KK#2309. – Very good paint, chrome and interior. Thoroughly restored but showing use and some age. Represented as the number-matching engine. – Anyone who loves engines loves the Boss 429. They have gone up and down in relative value over the years and now seem once again to be in ascendancy. This one sold for $172,800 at the Leake Dallas sale in 2005, then $154,000 at RM Amelia in 2010 and $197,950 at Mecum Dallas in 2013. This is the least costly of the three at Barrett-Jackson this year, but all were within 20% of this result.

Lot # 1401 1968 Jaguar XKE SI.5 Roadster; S/N 1E17502; Old English White/Black leather; Black cloth top; Older restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $85,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $93,500 – Chrome wire wheels, blackwall tires, no radio, adjustable seat backs, synchro gearbox. – Driver’s seat is lightly stretched, otherwise clean, fresh, sharp and better than new paint, chrome and interior. Engine is dusty and used. Wheelwells show some miles. A usable but not especially notable XKE. – Sold by RM in Monterey in 2000 for $31,900 freshly restored, then by Bonhams at Amelia last March for $89,100 and marching upward a notch here at WestWorld.

Lot # 1402 1973 Jaguar XKE SIII V12 Roadster; S/N UD1S21141; Maroon/Biscuit leather; Black leatherette top; Recent restoration, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $70,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $77,000 – Chrome wire wheels, blackwall tires, upgraded engine management system and 5-speed gearbox, cassette stereo, air conditioning. – Very good paint, chrome and interior. Underbody is like new. – Sold at Mecum Dallas in 2014 for $38,340 and gone through since then to its present bright, shiny condition. It could have brought over $100,000 without comment and represents a good value at this price, which discounts the modifications that make it a better, faster driver. So much for good intentions.

Lot # 1409 1935 Auburn 851 Cabriolet; S/N 2572F; Maroon/Maroon leather; Tan cloth top; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $85,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $93,500 – Red wire wheels, wide whitewalls, rear-mounted spare, rumble seat. – Very good older paint and chrome. Thin window frame chrome, paint chipped by top boot. Upholstery and interior trim are very good. Underbody is older than the current paint and wasn’t done to the same standards but is more than good enough to tour. Engine is clean and detailed. – Auburns offered great value for the money in style, comfort and performance in the Thirties even as the marque was marching into oblivion, and they still do today. This result is generous for the car and the age of its restoration, but not so much that it can’t be reconciled with good sense.

Lot # 1410 1936 Cadillac Series 75 Convertible Sedan, Body by Fleetwood; S/N 3112867; Brown/Brown leather; Tan cloth top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $100,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $110,000 – Red steel wheels, hubcaps, trim rings, wide whitewalls, rollup rear windshield, dual enclosed sidemounts, radio, Trippe lights, build sheet documented. – 2013 AACA National first Prize (W 27911) and Senior. Excellent cosmetics. Underbody dash, instruments and interior wood are better than new. Built as a display and show car for Cadillac, it has a laundry list of features and accessories to highlight the choices and luxury that could be ordered on a Cadillac V8 – Reported bid to $140,000 at Mecum’s Indianapolis auction last May, this is an important Cadillac with an essentially unique configuration and high quality restoration that could have brought more than this price without being expensive.

Lot # 1416 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S/N; Nassau Blue/Blue, Black vinyl; No top; Competition restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $100,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $110,000 – Braced rollbar, cutdown Plexiglas windscreen, Torque Thrust style wheels, Goodyear Blue Streak recap tires, shift light, driver’s bucket seat, historic racing equipped. – A sound, usable and cosmetically tidy historic racing car. – There is no idea what engine lurks under the hood of this Corvette, rendering further consideration of its value moot.

Lot # 1416.1 1962 McGee/Carmen Indycar; S/N; Black ’39’/Red vinyl; Competition car, original as-raced, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $90,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $99,000 – Beam axles, torsion bars, four-wheel disc brakes, chrome suspension, fuel injection. – Decent old race car cosmetics, orderly chassis. Not race ready but could be and looks cool until it’s done. –

Lot # 1417 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Convertible; S/N 136670B138594; Forest Green, White stripes/Black vinyl; White vinyl top; Unrestored original, 4+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $160,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $176,000 – 454/450hp, 4-speed, power brakes, buckets and console, cowl induction, Rally II wheels with trim rings, F70-14 Polyglas tires, Hurst shifter, 8-track stereo. – Sound exterior repaint over old paint, recovered front seats, otherwise scummy, original and musty smelling but remarkably complete. Represented as the original engine, transmission and rear axle and three owners from new. Dry, original underbody. – Painted? Why? The caliber of the repaint is decent, but hardly exceptional, and it ruins the rest of the scuzzy originality of this LS6. With dirt and grunge bringing huge premiums this Chevelle is neither original nor maintained. It’s just fouled up. Will the new owner sit on the mildewed seats surrounded by a miasma of musty, foul air? Not likely, so it’s a restoration project that will have to be done completely, from top to bottom, inside and out and is significantly expensive at this price. Its appeal is in its intriguing possibilities, not in any rational consideration of the cost and effort entailed in realizing them.

Lot # 1442 1962 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Limousine, Body by Park Ward; S/N 5LCG79; Blue, Black/Grey leather, Grey broadcloth rear; Visually maintained, largely original, 3- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $75,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $82,500 – Power division window, air conditioning, automatic, jump seats, power windows, smokers’ kits, body color accented wheel covers, narrow whitewalls. – Clearcoat repainted assembled with little attention to masking including overspray in the wheelwells. Upholstery is good, with some stretching of the driver’s seat. Interior wood varnish is lifting and peeling. A better car than the treatment it received. – It was interesting to watch the B-J day-trippers’ reaction to this PV while taking a short break from looking in, at and under cars: they were fascinated, climbing in and out for photos until B-J security locked it up. It exudes elegance, exclusivity and luxury even though it is aged and haphazardly resprayed. A loaded Land Rover would cost more, but disappears into background noise compared with this barge. There may be better ways to spend this much, but probably not on an automobile.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2016 – Auction Report Page Twelve

Lot # 1444 2005 Ford GT Coupe; S/N 1FAFP90S25Y400510; White/Black leather; Unrestored original, 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $240,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $264,000 – Whipple supercharger, Accufab throttle body, Ford Racing long tube headers, Ford Racing exhaust, alloy wheels, tinted glass, Alpine stereo. – Other than a couple of scratches on the transmission tunnel, this car has like new paint, interior and underbody. Somewhat lightly modified for performance, this is a GT that someone actually drove and actually had fun with. Its 12,073 miles make it the highest mileage GT I can ever remember seeing, and you know what? It’s not really any worse than other ones out there with 12 on the odometer. – It’s a shame that hardly anybody seems to have ever actually enjoyed the 550 supercharged horses of a GT to any significant degree, and it’s a surprise that more people haven’t succumbed to the temptation to do so. The owner of this one with its light but significant mods did, though, and the bidders don’t seem to have minded much, bidding it to a slight discount but not as much as you would expect for a car with significant mods and a huge number of miles (relatively speaking) on the odometer.

Lot # 1529 1974 Jensen-Healey Convertible; S/N 15466; Red/Black; Black top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $11,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $12,100 – Centerlock wire wheels, Goodyear Club tires, fiberglass hard top, luggage rack, wood dash, Jaeger dash clock, Kraco cassette stereo. – Subpar respray with orange peel throughout. Deep scratches and chips near both headlights. Sound, aged hard top. Sheepskin seat covers won’t come off so the factory upholstery underneath is questionable. The rest of the interior is very good. Dirty and pitted but rot free frame. Many Jensen-Healeys look terrible even in blurry online classified photos, but his one has at least gotten serious attention if not restoration. It’s far from perfect, but presentable and Lotus twin cam power is tempting, although the 93,045 miles on the odometer are cause for concern. – On paper the Jensen-Healey has a good recipe for performance and they were pretty quick in their day, but they don’t have anywhere near the following or adoration that Healeys with an “Austin” in front of their name do, and these later cars remain relatively cheap. This is roughly market value for a good one.

Lot # 1538 1978 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Coupe; S/N 1087L8L570454; Black/Black; Visually maintained, largely original, 3- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $18,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $20,350 – 350/185hp, automatic, Road Hugger tires, Rally wheels, factory radio. – The exterior paint is in very good shape, showing light scratches over the rear passenger tire and chips on the edge of the driver door. The trim is pulling away on both front quarter panels. A few rock chips and peeling around the hood air damn. The gray coating on the lower grille and rear Z/28 badge are worn and discolored. The seats and carpet look new. Good looking Z/28 with a single repaint and 78,259 believable miles. – This is a badge-engineered Z/28, nothing at all related to the real Trans Am Z/28s of the Sixties. It’s just a car, and not a very good one at that and the seller should be supremely happy to get this much for it.

Lot # 1558 1972 Chevrolet K5 CST Blazer Utility; S/N CKE182F152701; Omaha Orange, White roof/Black vinyl with houndstooth cloth inserts; Truck restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $59,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $64,900 – 350/175hp, automatic, 4×4, Flowmaster exhaust, power brakes and steering, 3.73 Positraction, tinted glass, bucket seats and console, AM radio, heater. – Fresh, very good paint. Panel fit is a bit sloppy around the rocker panels. Fully restored engine and underbody. The interior is immaculate and virtually unused. Well restored and needing almost nothing. – This is Toyota FJ money for a K5 Blazer and epic, world record, price for one. Is it perhaps a return to the Blazer’s preeminence atop the hierarchy of rugged, powerful off-road capable vehicles? Only time will tell.

Lot # 1584 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst/Olds Hardtop Coupe; S/N 3J57K5M303060; Black, Gold/White; Unrestored original, 3 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $24,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $26,400 – 350/160hp, automatic, power steering and brakes, air conditioning, louvered hood, glass T-tops, SS II wheels, Radial T/A tires, swivel bucket seats, His’n’Hers shifter, 8-track, AM radio, rally gauge pack. – Represented as 36,801 miles. Decent paint with some scratches, especially on the deck lid. Taillight bezels are pitted. The engine is old and crusty. The underside has been recently undercoated. Driver’s sear has a small tear. Cosmetically restored with flaws that are forgivable considering the scarcity of “Colonnade” style Oldsmobiles. – Scratches on the deck lid? Maybe they’re from Linda Vaughn ‘Miss Hurst Shifter’ riding up there. The originality of this ’75 Hurst/Olds is a plus, adding almost 50% to its value.

Lot # 1585 1969 Pontiac GTO 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 242379Z126236; Carousel Red/Black vinyl; Enthusiast restoration, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $30,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $33,000 – Upgraded to 400/366hp, Ram Air III, automatic, Radial T/A tires, Judge trim added, PHS documents. – Endura nose has chips and scratches from driving and cracks under passenger headlight. Some bubbles under the Judge stripes, pits in the paint and some sanding scratches in the primer window screen on cowl vents. Brightwork needs polish on the nose. Interior is new but the driver’s quarter panel is badly misaligned. Overuse of sealer to affix window. Undercarriage shows age through exhaust carbon and road grime. The pits in the paint are too much, however. A clone that could have been very nice with better paint prep. Used in the 2004 TV movie “Last Ride” with Dennis Hopper, and presents like a movie car. – This somewhat scruffy, color changed, upgraded features movie car GTO isn’t very good in the overall scheme of things, but it isn’t expensive, either, and it is a GTO. All things considered this is a modestly valued compromised price for a compromised GTO.

Lot # 1592 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II 4-Dr. Sedan; S/N RR61LSVB449; White/Gray leather; Visually maintained, largely original, 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $52,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $57,200 – Wheel covers, whitewalls, Lucas driving lights, bench seat, column shift, Pioneer CD stereo, wood dash and window trim, power windows, fold down tables in the rear. – Cleaned up original engine bay is in decent shape. Good older chrome. Average quality respray. Big touch up on right rear fender as well as several long cracks running up from the right taillight. Scratched up rear bumper. A few cracks in the wood at the top of the dash but otherwise very good, lightly worn interior. An original, maintained car underneath that’s gotten attention, although there’s no word on service history. Showing 74,636 miles. As a decent-looking white classic Rolls, it would make a solid wedding car, and at night and after a few cocktails it will be too dark for the bride and groom to pick on the flaws. – This result is on the money for the condition of this Silver Cloud II Standard Steel Saloon.

Lot # 1628 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N XS29L8B135260; Black, Gold stripe/Gold vinyl; Older restoration, 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $74,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $81,400 – 440/375hp Magnum, automatic, power steering and brakes, Magnum 500 wheels, Radial T/A tires, bucket seats, console shift, aftermarket stereo, Govier Report included. – Good paint with a straight body. Scratched passenger’s door window. Originally a stripe delete but added later. Engine compartment is clean although the color is orange instead of correct turquoise. The sail panel liner is sagging otherwise the interior is clean. A sound cruiser that could quickly get better with some attention. – This is a generous price for a largely ordinary Charger R/T Magnum with some easily seen flaws, a color change and no claim to have its original engine. Get down to the last hours of the Scottsdale auctions and the pressure to take something home gets intense, sometimes subverting good judgment that has kept bidders’ hands in their pockets for the previous week. This might be an example of that pressure.

  Can I get away with the excuse my local hospital offered when they billed me $900 for a $13 blood test?
