All this week on FYI finally a nice amount of really nice Pontiacs going across the block, I’m very pleased to see that Trans AMs are finally getting the respect they deserve and prices are up there. Some very nice GTO’s as well. So far less Camaros and Corvettes, but pick up trucks and off road vehicles on he rise in popularity.

I really can't stand the auctioneer babbling on any of those.....what the hell is the purpose of the babbling???????

The Bonham-type of auction like on Chasing Classic Cars makes a lot more sense to me...............

I agree, it's RIDICUOUS. I would watch longer without it

I like that Steve gives a little history of the cars seems like he is very knowledgeable about every car or truck that goes through. I can’t be positive but I think they may be changing channels tomorrow or Friday? Thought I heard them say that but I was walking into another room.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many 70’s trucks, and Patina cars.

100k for a 77 Trans Am. Not bad.

I just saw that, and not even a Burt car. Nice survivor!

[Firedup6975]

That black 65 GTO was pretty nice price also for a coupe.

Looks like the Burt car goes on Saturday, I would say now, that is going to go for big bucks. Also want to see what the 69 Trans Am with the Ram Air 4 goes for.

It was a promo car, not in the movie, but since Burt owned it that will be enough for it to command a 6 figure price, same with that 69 TA. It’s nice to finally see some Pontiacs being brought to Barrett, and they’re bringing some nice money.

I always said if your buying a Pontiac, They are usually under the radar at BJ. If your selling one, Mecum is the way to go. Looks like now BJ is starting to catch up with the Pontiac’s. We shall see.

Don't get too excited about the '69 Trans Am ( 223379N104523 ). It sold for $180k at the last auction (Mecum) and it has a lot of stories behind it.....Not a good representation of what a '69 Trans Am RAIV is worth.

The Burt T/A at this Barrett Jackson was owned by Burt for a few years several years ago while he lived in Florida at his now defunct ranch. This one should easily eclipse the $500k the last one sold for 5 years ago.

Our local paper (Daily Commercial, Tue Jan 25) had an article on Burt's last TA he owned. They could not find any evidence if used in the film. There was a fire that destroyed a lot of the paper work.
He also had the one that sold for $550,000.

He collects movie cars. Has Duke of Hazzards and more.
Has a place in Palmetto FL.

Many "patina" survivors have a certain charm to them. However many do not, but since a high-quality restoration paint job is well into 5 figures, it's a no-brainer as to why they've become popular.

Saturday will be the day the cream of the crop according to Craig Jackson will go across the block guess I’ll be watching to see who has more money then sense lol.

Hey Wakepowell...Out of 100% respect I am curious.....Did you actually go and see this 69 TA as you suggested you were going to do? Or is this just info gathered from the "Pontiac Rumor Mill"..
Just Curious...As an owner of a RAIV TA I hate to see the sale of a car be "suppressed" by words....Everything stated in the previous post left the air of a problem car but with no details it could be more harmful than helpful...Especially for the market...which is important to EVERYONE involved...
I can certainly understand why you would NOT post negative details about a car here but.......isn't this kind of what is happening? Why not go all the way and state what has been "heard" or "said" about the car...THAT may be helpful...This way if the sale is LESS THAN MARKET everyone will be able to point to a reason why...Again, helps the market...
Thanks for letting me put my thoughts out there on this...Some of this stuff is more important than people realize...
Again, just putting my personal thoughts out there...
