In another post Nick and I have complained about the problems of not having enough money . He suggested selling some to raise funds. However after a few days of Barrett Jackson and way too many episodes of Barn Finds all I want to do is lock the garage door and go to bed. Everything at B-J is worth 100 of thousand -even a Bronco --and on Barn Find, everything is junk and all the commenting "experts" who probably do not own cars trash everything. It used to be fun, it was simple, buy a car you liked, fix it up and enjoy driving it--not no longer, now, it is all about something special and I own it and you do not. We are a very funny lot!!!!! Morley ps , where is that fellow The Car Chaser??????????

Classified add price for Orange copo Caprice now $52,995.00 on e-Bay. I do not think that car would even sell at auction. How much will they make after all the costs are added up? NICK L72 427impalasportcoupe

I agree,,but like most televised issues today,it all boils down to one phrase,,,FAKE NEWS!
First of all was Ivan's 67 clone, sold by Mechum. Second is the Orange COPO caprice 427, which despite its restored condition could not get $11,000.00 with its cheap Quarter panels and mistakes on E-bay. I know how much has to be invested in body and paint to make them look good. Those bidders do not look at those things. Only what car is what they bid on. NICK L72427impalasportcoupe

I saw the other day that they were advertising a car that wasn't real, but yet they weren't fully saying that it wasn't.
I know very little about B-J, but sure didn't like that.
Bill , it does not matter if it is real or not. There were far too many old Corvettes sitting on modern chassis with newer engines etc, and they where between 200,000.00 and 300,000.00 dollars . I can sort of understand wanting a car like that , but personally I would have had it built, I know that there would be stuff I would want different. Everyopne is the US must be just rich!!!!!!!!
