Barrett-Jackson Auction Results – Thursday, January 19th
Today was another ramp up in quality, quantity and price here in the desert of Arizona.
I felt there were a few remarkable sales today, as most cars at Barrett Jackson cross the block at NO RESERVE.
In my opinion, this first car listed may have been a good buy. The Hennessey upgrade is expensive. Combined with the low mileage of the car, This may have been a deal.
Lot 771, An LT1 rang the sold bell at $56,100. This was above the average price on this particular desirable C3.
Lot 792, A 2002 an AAT conversion sporting a C1 body sold for a whopping $99K. Without checking historical data, I think that this may have set a record for this particular special Corvette.
Now we get into the high dollar department with the following 2 Corvettes coming in at the top of the sales volume heap:
