The Barrett Jackson this week

[powerslide]

Economic Darwinism appears to have trickled down to the auto collector realm. As a potential consignor you have to think twice about entering your car into a "no reserve" auction when there's a distinct possibility you will not recoup your "time and materials." The "dot com drunks" were long gone; folks appeared to be a little more astute about what they were buying. I thought the restored pick-up trucks had potential for a new niche, with growth potential. The GM collection was "interesting," the caveat there was how the titled the car; if you can't title and register the car for use on the street, what's the point? Salvage and scrap titles can be problematic, so unless its going to sit in a museum...buyer beware!
