tbunch Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Some guys from the shop I work at went to Scotsdale to sell some muscle cars for a customer. Today while walking around the staging, they sent a pic of a Comanche to me. I looked through the list of cars run yesterday. Found this. I wonder if a low miles stocker would have brought that much. http://www.barrett-j...x?ln=52&aid=466
sinkrun Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Someone on here said you would never see a Comanche on Barret Jackson?
tbunch Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Well... They were wrong. If a Comanche gets into Barrett Jackson it is officially a collectable. Time to buy them up!
Pete M Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 stock axles? :dunno: for that much dough I'd expect some upgrades to handle those tires. :doh:
johnny quest Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 so its a restored MJ with a mild lift, wheels and tires. $16k?? sheesh.... how many miles on it?
Comanche County Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Maybe they are going up in price? :dunno:
Zebvance Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 16k Is a bunch! I could put 1 tons, 35's, new paint job, 4.7 stroker, new tranny, and a long arm lift for less than that.... but I don't think anybody ib here would deny that, that is ONE CLEAN MJ!
Dirteatr717 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Still has the turdy5 :doh: very clean indeed
yellaheep Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Nice MJ for sure and let's not forget that it being a '92 its essentially 1 of 900-something....... Unfortunately its nothing but a mall-crawler. Stock steering, silly suspension angles. Probably drives like crap..........
86customanche Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Mall crawler for sure. But sure is clean and purdy. Id drive it around town as my DD, but not for 16k.
87Warrior Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Wow, that is a clean truck! I don't quite understand the Barrett Jackson crowd. They seem to go googly-eyed over a shiny modified vehicle. That MJ would be worth a whole lot more to me, as something special, if it was restored to stock. I view all of the muscle cars that get pushed through the auction the same way. Maybe big and shiny is what it takes for an 80's style pickup to get noticed at Barrett Jackson.
JFAComanche6 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I bet I could knock about 5k off the price after "test driving" it at my house for about 5 minutes. That MJ is too clean.

Minuit Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah, too clean. No doubt I'm proud that one made it to the most prestigious automotive market in the world and sold for that much though. Wonder what I could get for my 'all original' example.
johnnyc Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I'll sell my 92 for $7000...if anyone's interested. :D
89eliminator Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 gotta be the color combination that makes it worth that much....
dasbulliwagen Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I'm sure the only reason it sold for that much is some high roller collector bought it for his kid, not really knowing what its worth, thinking the whole time that 15 grand is a drop in the bucket. Even though all of us know we could build one like it for a third of the cost. Slap some paint, a lift and big wheels on my rust free MJ and I could have one just like it! don't get your hopes up for all of them to sell for this much, though I'm sure some Idiot car dealers saw that and are thinking they can do the same thing now. We will just stand back and laugh, and watch as the truck goes unsold for years at a time.
terrawombat Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I'll sell my 92 for $7000...if anyone's interested. :D I'll let mine go for $6,999.99 and 9/10. Not a tenth of a penny less.
H3RESQ Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 16k Is a bunch!

You could probably do all that for 16k if it was just 60's out of an old ford, and used tires and wheels and a base stroker. Real 60's (like prorocks or rockjocks are about 12-15k by themselves) 1500 for a good longarm, 3000-4500 for good beadlocks and tires, A real built stroker is 5k easy. Paint...well 3k would get some body work and probably a couple runs. 5k+ for a good one. And this is assuming you do all instals and builds yourself. It is amazing how fast your reciepts add up if you ever get the chance to really do a build on a rig. I'll bet if you ask anyone on here with super clean, or super built (60's/stroker/etc.) you would be blown away with what they have into there rigs. If they even know, most don't add up reciepts on purpose.

Maybe big and shiny is what it takes for an 80's style pickup to get noticed at Barrett Jackson. I agree, I have seen some of the biggest piles go up on Barrett before. Huge lift/ tires on stock suspension with double shocks and stuff. all chromed out and sells for 10's of thousands and its just a cj or something. They had a JK with all bolt on crap and 40's on the stock axles go for close to 60k last year!! ugh.

tbunch Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 I used to work at a classic car lot before the credit crisis. Whenever we got a new car in, and it had a folder of receipts, we added them up. The total amount was almost always staggering! But never matched up to what we paid for it, or was asking it for. Putting money in any rig to make it nice, or just the way you want is just a labor of love. Excpecially on these little niche market Jeeps that we love so much!!
