[DeTomaso] Barrett Jackson GTS

Sat Jan 22 12:14:46 EST 2011

I can recall that Vettes, Ferraris, Lambos, ect, use to depreciate like other cars until the early 70s.  Then people started viewing some cars as a hedge against inflation and prices took off.  

With the Feds printing money like Monopoly dollars, a lot of people are expect inflation to take off again soon.  That may fuel the prices of some "collectible" cars.  I'm not sure if restomods will share in that since they are a fairly recent phenomena, but you'd think Panteras would benefit from the acceptance of restomods as having value, if done right.

1.  That is a slanderous statement
2.  That is BS
3.  Where in the world do you get such crap?  Not a CREDIBLE source 
4.  Yes, we are their PR firm

Its really amazing.  You guys complain for years that Pantera's don't fetch enough at BJAC and that no one should sell them there.  Then when a couple of cars do, you don't that they really sold for those prices.  And you throw in BS about shills.  What exactly do all of you want?  Really....think about it.

It is fairly common knowledge that BJ owns many of the cars under auction, they bid them up and the cars return to BJ's warehouse, thus driving up prices on similar such cars. Do some research and there is article after article on BJ's questionable practices, like they say "there's no smoke without fire".
