kinfish Posted March 29, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 29, 2008 I attended the Barrett Jackson Auction in West Palm Beach, Fl on Thursday, March 27 and viewed most of the cars on the lot. Surprised to find this '72 240Z (HLS30-74204) under one of the tents. It is scheduled for the auction block on Sunday. Will be interesting to see what it sells for. My general observation during Thursday's auction and review of cars sold so far is that prices are not as wild and out-of-control as in prior years. Lots of nice vehicles but I didn't see the bidding wars escalate into 6-figures on any of the 60's muscle cars. Signs of the downturn in economy.

xray Posted March 29, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 29, 2008 In my short time of watching the auction scene, it seems to me the Palm Beach crowd is a bit more reserved than the folks who bid at Scottsdale. Probably still too early to make conclusions, but from the early auction reports in SCM and Classic Motorsports they seemed sort of surprised at how much is still holding value. They did remark on seeing a lot of cars not meeting reserve, and the value of clones and "tribute" cars falling (as they should). No doubt that as the economy slows the interest in spending money on old cars will probably wane as well. Looking forward (?) to seeing the auction results....

Blue Meanie Posted March 29, 2008 Share #9 Posted March 29, 2008 Bob, I'll guess $15,501 JFWY! I'll go with $19,400. I'd normally go higher, but I don't think that color is going to help its resale. I wish her the best though. She probably has the same birthday as my little Z, 5/72.

lonetreesteve Posted March 29, 2008 Share #10 Posted March 29, 2008 This car has really made the Barrett-Jackson rounds! I think this is the second time it's been at the Palm Beach auction (last year?) Here's the link when it was auctioned off in Scottsdale back in 2006 (see post #9):http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20153&highlight=barrett Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/27552-72-240z-at-barrett-jackson/#findComment-242348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
