Seems like a lot of car for the money. After attending a couple Barrett Jackson events i get it. Pics don’t always show the flaws. Some cars in person were sketchy. The short lived OC event was eye opening. Anything that wouldn’t turn heads on PCH were given away. Anything that would went for stupid money.

Ford could only get 600 Horses with a 5.0 V8 and twin turbos? Pathetic

… at only 7psi lol

There’s a lot left in it and pretty conservative as it sits. That’s a fun car on pretty much all motor. Turn it up and it’s 800+ horse.

My cousin turned his up and it was worth all the smiles.

Coulda woulda shoulda but they didn’t. I can go to a junk yard and pull damn near any random 5~ish liter V8 + TWO TURBOS and make 600 horses without trying. These clowns put effort into a DOHC v 8 with twin turbos and barely made 600 hp. I’m pretty sure even hyndai is making shit that is humiliating these #s

I don’t even give two fucks about any of the manufacturers so your preaching to the wrong guy.

If I come across any Ford Execs I’ll let them know that you’re the billy bad ass who can fix their problems lol

You know a 5.0 coyote will make 1000 WHP without even touching the long block right?

I saw that 1988 anniversary white out vette go for 22k. Ugly as crap but if it was in decent shape low miles it would be a cheap driver. LOL my kids used base Camry was 21k

There are a lot of expensive cars going thru , but every once in a while.... a real deal goes thru. my brother said a really nice bubble top only went for 30K. ( I missed it going thru).

I tuned in a few times randomly.. looked like a lot of steals happening....... ya, there were some big sellers as well

Is this a sign of deteriorating values for some classic cars or inflation or just a swing of the hot rod/classic car market?

That car really only costs an insurance premium and collision deductible.

A 2012 ZL1 Camaro made "only" 580 HP with a supercharger. A 2012 GT500 made 760HP. Can you build your big power engine, mass produce it and offer a factory warranty?

Here's a challenge for you seeing how you think you know more than the clowns at the factory, build a car with equal performance, handling, comfort, reliability, etc for under $30K.

I just watched an elderly gentleman buy Bobby Allison's Daytona for $1.3 Million and then take a sip of his Bud Light to celebrate.........Classic.

I am not even sure he could hear the buyers assistant on how much he paid:cool:
