Tell your better half how much money you have in the car!!

I'm watching the 1963 Pontiac Bonneville ambulance that supposedly carried the body of President Kennedy. Did anyone see that part?
There is apparently another meaning for Craig Jackson's statement that I am unaware of. I am positive he mentioned the percentage numbers. I was probably wrong to assume that consignees were bidding on their own cars
I believe BJ also sells cars outside the auction on regular consignment basis as any dealer would. Maybe that is what he was referring to.
:
It depends on when your car goes through,, as in the time of day and what day,,
The BIG bidders are on friday night and most of saturday wilth the really BIG money spent on saturday.
If you are lucky and your car gets placed on thoses days and times you will get more money for it.
There is only so much time to run so many cars on those nights so B-J will try and place the best cars on those days.
The more money they get for a car the more money they make so they, B-J want the best cars when the big money bidders are there,,
Jim................those folks aren't lucky.................they pay BIG BUCKS for those time slots just for the reasons you stated!!!!

Leo, I found the Craig Jackson interview that you referenced. I guess he was trying to show that the auction was not just attracting old money high rollers. It's all good, apologies not necessary.
"The auction boss proudly points to his events as a gateway to the hobby. Figures he's quick to tick off for the O.C. event include:
-- 58 percent of bidders were new.
-- 57 percent of consigners were new.
Those figures are consistent with other Barrett-Jackson events, he said. “We're a good entry point.”

Craig Jackson has a reputation?
Spent three days out at the auction, some of the cars that went through Thursday were no where near the quality of the Saturday cars. They all look good on stage but under natural lighting outdoors many were not very impressive thus the lower dollars. I was really suprised by the dollars some of the rods got , got the sense the market is starting to come back. It's a fun event to attend but pretty pricey for my tastes.

I happened to catch the end of that White '62 SS 409 sell for $175,000. I think it may have belonged to Rick Hendrick or something. Somebody help me out here and tell me what was so special about that car to fetch that kind of money.
