Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
I for one hope the prices continue to climb, Drastically would be great ! I don't buy shiny finished trucks , I buy the unfinished failed projects and rusty parts trucks no one wants , Just recently Ol rusty a 68 short bed GMC for $500.00 who has already doubled my money back in parts and I still have the truck and drive train . There still out there in running driving condition for little money and with some diligent searching can be had by even the newest newby to the truck crowd . With a basic craftsman tool box and you tube / forums / and the internet it's never been easier to slowly rebuild your dream truck AND have it be worth more as the years go by . So what if it takes you years to get it done they are a great hobby that appreciates in value faster than your 401K ! BUT if your not a hands on guy or just have more $ than sense , Please by all means available to you go out to a Barret Jackson auction and keep the prices climbing and give us regular guys a hobby that when done right has a golden parachute at the end . We're already seeing them being dragged out of old scrap yards and from under the stack of hay in barns where they have been sitting for many years ! Just a short 3 years ago when I joined this board I was buying running driving 67 short beds for $500.00 try finding one today ... I just drug 2 more 67 short beds out of my barn and into the garage to start rebuilding all it takes is time and slowly buying parts .

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
I watched the whole auction and thought the prices they got for 67-72's were fair. At one point there was an SS 454 truck and a red/white sb Super Cheyenne right behind it. The cut to commercial as the SS454 was coming on the block and when they returned it and the Super were done but they never listed what they sold for.

Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
A BIG Block 70 SS would be my favorite !!! A friend of mine had one for his 1st car. Bought it before we had our drivers licenses and we had it out on the road raising Heck !!! Times were different back then, you could get away with that kind of stuff...
He's the same one that got me hooked on the 67-72 trucks. He had a 70 K20 ( Same colors as mine ) I helped him build that truck. From 1983 on I've always had at least one parked in my yard.
