Barrett-Jackson is definitely not the market...does it affect the market, it certainly does. Everything that these rich idiots do influences the market. And let us be real....the majority of folk at Jackson are not your average Joe or Jane....they have money.

The major way you can see that it isn't the real market is that almost every dealership that has our trucks posted for insane amounts of money (Barrett-Jackson type money), still have them. I have seen and continue to see the SAME Blazers for sale both 4x4 and 2wd over and over.

It's just me but, unless it is 100% period correct (which where is the fun in that), I would never pay over $40k for a K5 in any trim, with a generic 350 crate motor in it. If you're over $40k, the paint and interior need to be on-point and the drivetrain better be modern or $$$$ HP/Cool factor.

I like that everything is appreciating but if **** ain't selling in the real world consistently at these prices... they need to get a clue.

All prices include buyers' premium. The 8 sales prices above average out to $70,000. All vintage 4 X 4s sold very strongly in this auction. I know that many of you don't believe B-J is representative of the market for our vehicles and further don't like high prices for them, but c'est la guerre. Their values continue to head north.
