Stop Paying So Much For Silly Cars Jalopnik Alex Hevesy Jan 22, 2018 http://google.com/newsstand/s/cbiwl8n5wdc Barrett-Jackson s 2018 Scottsdale auction just wrapped up and everyone s rich dad went home happy with a NUMBERSMATCHINGIKNOWWHATIHAVE 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS that ll sit untouched in a garage for the rest of eternity. Occasionally my dad and I will watch the auction live because I will always have a soft spot for 60s- 70s muscle cars and trucks, but can we all admit how silly prices are getting? Barrett-Jackson cars are almost always ridiculously expensive especially if they happen to be rare models or attached to some celebrity. This time, however, I saw cars that weren t extremely special or meaningful go for just exorbitant amounts of cash Take the 1969 Chevy Camaro ZL1 for instance. Sure, it is a rare car. According to the listing, only 69 COPO Camaros every built. There are more Ferrari 599 SA Apertas around in the world. But does that justify the $770,000 auction price? Absolutely not. But Alex, this ZL1 is the only one built with the NC8 chambered exhaust! you may say. In response, I say who the heck cares. All I see is an orange Chevy Camaro ZL1 with a big block in it. Whoever bought it will likely never drive it and paid hypercar prices for a car that basically has all the provenance of a trivia question between commercial breaks on the Velocity network. Don t even get me started on the restomods or custom cars. I m not talking about George Barris cars or anything truly notable like that. Many of those cars are good, and deserve to be celebrated. I m talking about the cars featured in 2004-era Discovery Channel builds on shows with titles like Sweet Metal Ridez. Most restomods have the interior of a mall cell phone accessory kiosk and require all the creativity of clicking sort by worst looking on Summit Racing s website. Even these pieces of automotive garbage fetch upwards of six-figures because chrome and eyebleeding paint schemes attract rich septugenarian real car guys. In addition to a lot of trash, Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2018 also features some cars that broke my heart. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX is a perfect example. It sold for $126,500. I like the GNX. It s one of the coolest cars ever made. But take the name away and it s still a 1987 Buick Regal with a turbocharger and some fancy paint. This GNX was the third one off the line and that s admittedly cool but doesn t warrant the price of, like, a house. It breaks my heart because I adore the GNX and now they ve been but in the upper echelon of collector cars. I will never be able to afford one. All of the GNXs currently for sale on ebay just tripled in price over night. Thanks for nothing, Barrett-Jackson. 6
