Top 10 Sellers at the Barret Jackson Palm Beach Auction
In between all the various races over the weekend I caught some of the Barret Jackson Auction taking place in Palm Beach. The auction is like crack for anyone with even a passing interest in collectible cars and I love the fact that the Speed Channel offers so much coverage. It sure beats the hell out of Pinks and Texas Hardtails reruns. The Palm Beach auction wasn't quite as good as Scottsdale but there was still plenty of eye candy. With a few exceptions, the cars also didn't seem to be bringing in astronomical bids like they did at the Scottsdale auction. Before I ramble on forever, here's the top 10 sellers from Palm Beach:
- 1947 Bentley Mark VI Coachworks by Franay - $1,728,000
- 2005 Ford GT Coupe - $572,400
- 1939 Bentley Royale Custom - $399,600
- 1953 Buick Skylark Convertible - $383,400
- 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Racecar - $324,000
- 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427/435 Coupe - $259,200
- 1953 Mercedes Benz 300 SC Convertible - $259,200
- 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne 2 Door Hardtop - $248,400
- 1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback - $245,160
- 1999 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing Replica - $243,000
The entire list of results for the Palm Beach auction can be found at Barret Jackson's website. Now I'm off to kick myself once again for selling my '71 'Cuda years ago.
