Default RE: Barrett Jackson 08' Dodge Challenger sells for $400,000!

First of all, it was kind of depressing to sit and watch B J for hours only to see the lot #'s trickle by. And I had high hopes for the Challenger and the Cuda seeing the GR500KR and ZR1 bringing BIG BUCKS. But, it went down hill as soon as the auction started. When they brought the car on stage the camra was zoomed out panning the crowd with the stage in the far backgroung and the TV guys were talking over the car introduction. The B J guys also did not know the diffrences between the proto and production. Also, sense Dodge reps. were there at B J(or at least watching TV), I hope they learned from Chevy and Ford how to showcase an auctioned car for charity.

I think if they used a production car at the aucton, that would have helped the bidding. I know that Dodge did not want to show the production yet. But maybe the auction should have been done after Chicago auto show so they could.

I really hate that this car did not get as much air time as it did Not My Kid needs the help.
