Cool

The Barrett Jackson auction is already over, yet the buzz is that the Shelby GT500E is already back on the market (bankrolled buyer per chance...Done so in order to make the original pricing structure of these "replica" cars seem legit in the current marketplace)........While some of the prices seemed a bit high compared to the last two years worth of sales, there did indeed seem to be a large grouping of late 30's to early 50's guys with large checkbooks, and a willingness to spend whatever it took to "make the sale" their own.........If I had the money, I would have been there bidding right along with them on several muscle cars of the 60's and 70's......................High pricing, well, maybe......Yet affordable to those who purchased them..............
