What did the car end up going for?

 

Tomorrow night

 

If I remember correctly this car ran through Manheim maybe 10-12 months ago. Gonna be interesting to see what it brings at BJ vs. the "real" auction.

 

Is there a story that goes with the car?

 

I don't think so although I don't profess to be the end-all when it comes to this car. It is NOT the flooded Texas car...

 

Kind of an un-interesting one. Nearly 12k miles on a Veyron is "high miles". Sorry, but it is.
Colors? Blaahh. Definitely not the nicest Veyron I've ever seen. I'd say it worth 800ish

 

Exactly what it brought last round...

 

$1 M in depreciation, Ouch !!!!

Would have done better buying real estate in Vegas in 2006 LOL

 

It was auctioned but i missed it any one see how much it sold for?

 

$700,000

 

Craig Jackson ended up buying the car though, the winner backed out.

 

wow - deal went sour .... buyer said he wasnt in the bid , so Craig bought the bugatti himself for 700 - no one in the crowd even wanted it back

so , this thing is worth less than 700 - Ouch is right

 

Wrong auction for that car. Perfect place for paying way too much for a Yenko or Hemi "recreation". Am I the only person tired of the smug little man in the sunglasses?

 

I thought 700 was way low but what do I know. Yes, I am tired of the guy in the glasses too !

Anyone see the 2002 yellow/blk Murci go for 75k ? I thought that was low too.

 

No reserve auctions... Yeah right.

 

They didn't say the mileage on the Murci. Programme shows it as "speedo cluster changed under warranty". Maybe a good buy, maybe a money pit.

 

Which one?

A fake 67 gt500 went for over a 100 (well sold as they would say)

A real 69 gt500 went for less than a 100 but I think that's par for the course with 69s.

 

BJ site links are down for me... did a Murci sell for well under 100k? year, miles?

 

Granted the title is unaffected, that's a deal for anyone looking to drive it...

Not by a long shot.

Fitting unfolding of events for BJ these days. A farce in every way.

 

It will be interesting to find out what was really going
on with the Veyron. According to an article on SpeedTV.com,
the goomba with the headband who was bidding on the
car (with three cameras pointing at him beaming his
face to a live TV audience) was saying "It wasn't me"
and then later "I was just helping out".

The annoying little guy with the sunglasses is the president
of Barrett-Jackson. But, if we observe the majority of the
crowd and the seemingly endless line up of people crowding
the stage, most of them are wearing sunglasses.

As Larry David famously said, "The only people who wear
sunglasses indoors are blind people and *******s".
