Ya know, I love to watch Barrett Jackson auctions just to see all the great cars out there, but they have ruined any hopes of an average Joe ever owning a really nice collector car. I mean, a million bucks for a Chevelle?? Who'd a thunk it? I bought a 69 SS 396 and a 72 454 SS, both brand new from Chevy, and now I couldn't afford another half decent one. The 69 was $3600 new, and the 72 was $4200. So while BJ has benefited the seller, the buyer is getting screwed royally.
