Anyone else excited about the new season of barrett jackson?

Is anyone else pumped for the new season of barrett jackson on speed? haha sorry, this shoulda gone under the off topic thread.

Yeah I am. I love it when Old Brit cars and Isetta's cross over. There is one thing I don't understand. I can't give my 47 Ford away. But it would Prolly fetch a mint on the BJ. WTF? Maybe I should put a Effin 350 in it and prime it with flames!

Love it and its great to watch.

[Marsh]

Flames huh? I've only seen one car i thought looked good with flames and it was a '49 custom Chevy pickup. It was cool cause the truck was candy apple and the flames were a lighter shade of red, almost an orange, and were airbrushed with black outline and faded back to candy apple around the cab. looked HOT... literally.

Our DVR has been filled with Barrett Jackson lately. Mitch has recorded all of it and watches some each night.

It always seems to be on, usually watch some over dinner when I get home...
The Dakar Rally has been on a lot as well...

[Mitch]

Yeah I'm getting to the point that if I hear another auctioneer I might get tourettes syndrome or something. The head auctioneer is Tom Spanky Assister. Sounds like a porn star name, right Julie?

Now, as far as the cars and the excitement, its AWESOME and addicting. Some very very rare cars get sold at BJ Auctions.

Did someone see an Isetta on Barrett Jackson?

[Jdudley13]

One of my favorites is still the Russian boat with twin props..it was pretty sweet.

[Mitch]

I recorded ALL of the 2008 BJ auctions, and so far I've seen about 15 cars I would LOVE to have.

-The green 427 side oiler original Cobra
-The Allison V12 powered Benzolene car, looks like a Delage or Talbot Lago.
-Mustang Boss 429
-Shelby GT500 convertibles
-low mile Ferrari 456 GT M
-red Lamborghini Diablo
-53 Packard Carribean convertible
-54 Buick Skylark convertible
-61 Chrysler 300G convertible
-70 Hemi Cuda 426 4 speed
-54 Corvette

I want them all!

[F1Julie]

My favorite was one of the cheastest cars - an old Citroen. It was one of the most unique cars I saw. I don't like all the muscle cars they have. I can't believe how much money they bring in. Besides being well restored, they look like a car you'd see parked at a gas station in rural Georgia. I just don't see anything attractive about them.

[Marsh]

Yeah Mitch im with you on all of those, especially the hemi cuda. ive wanted one since the first time i saw one from the car seat of my moms minivan! jk, but seriously i want one... too bad originals are like a quater-mil nowadays

[Mitch]

Yeah that just kills me a quarter mill for a Hemi Cuda? The one we could have bought for $40,000 15 years ago?
