Smile Re: The state of our hobby .. 67-72 Chevy and GMC

I never sweat the Barret/Jackson spectacle....its a show more than a daily reality or actual 'value' indicator.

The guys who attempt to reference its results to portray their trucks values...are usually dreaming, out to lunch....or both, lol.

The guys that are the buyers there are usually so far up the financial food chain that this is simply a fun dinner bell for them and an opportunity to hang with a few of their aging posse' to have 3-4 days worth of fun.
For most of them...this probably has more to do with blowing off steam than money.
Most won't care one way or the other for $10K up or down...that is probably the increment they bid in...and that is probably what they make in a couple of days work of whatever they do.

That fact that we have some of this product (67-72' trucks) seem to get some guys going.

As for value...a lot of guys have over valued their trucks in my opinion based on the oddity/exception of the Barrett/Jackson thing.

I find nice examples of these trucks for $10-$15k every few days, every week that are absolutely ready for cruise night and easy driving.

All good
