Palm Beach Barrett-Jackson

[Blue Pilot]

Anyone going this weekend?

If so, you can bid on this viper.

Some people just don't when to quit. I will take the motor and wheels and give away the rest!

 

[Austin]

Looks like Elite is no more.

 

[MAVERICK]

I might go see it. How much do you think it will go for?

 

[Gerald Levin]

Does this car really have over 1100HP?
How much above and beyond the cost of the car would you guess has been spent? $100K?
Personally, I would love to have this car. Other than it would be a waste for me as I don't have the cahonas to race a car with this much power. Could a car with this much power be street driven?

 

[Batboy]

My guess is around $80K-$100K. Mods are funny. It really depends on the crowd. I played along on the internet for the Scottsdale auction. I don't think I was ever close.

 

[BADVENOM]

NO way jose...60-70 max

look for nylon ties under the hood!

 

[NascarDave]

I'll be there...not buying though. Look for me
at the Shelby display. Swing by and say hey.

I'm going on Friday Tim. Call me
Are you parking in the Viper corral?

I heard, If you do, you could not get your car back out till 4pm

 

[2000GTS]

I'll be there on Sat. Where's the Viper corral?

[99 R/T 10]

IS Elite gone? That was Scott's car.

 

[Rocket65C]

I would love to see that car in person. Love it or hate it, it sure catches the eye. Elite's website is still up (www.vipersbyelite.com). That car won some "Best of Show" trophy that is taller than the owner(Scott?)who is standing next to it. Elite is no longer listed as an official sponsor of this website. Not meaning to rehash old hash, but does anyone know the final outcome ileone's engine rebuild/lawsuit ( old thread "Warning about Elite Motorsports")?

Oh, and if there's going to be an office pool, I say the GTS goes for $95,000 (seems to me that most cars get sold for more than they're worth at those auctions. And you could dismantle that car and sell the parts and a stock car for $75k, IMO).

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

I'm not sure were the corral is. Try emailing Ivan ***. S. Fl VCA president. I'm not sure if I'll park there. I wouldn’t want my car trapped till they decide to clear the corral.

And yes that looks like Scott's car and I'm sure it will be a big hit.

 

[Bad Car]

I predict $74,000.00

 

[Socrates]

I agree with Bad -- probably $75'ish...

I had crappy dealings with Scott on the first (and only) occasion that he installed an exhaust for me (on my last GTS) when I lived in Tampa several years ago. His welding stunk! It's funny to get back on here after so many years and see what has happened to him - doesn't surprise me in the least. Sorry, had to get that off my chest..

 

[Gerald Levin]

I'm in at $85k. I think $95k is awfully heavy and $75k is more realistic, but there are quite a few heavyweights in Palm
Beach, so I'm guessing the car sells for $85K to some old dude trying to impress his girlfriend that is 30 years his junior whose wearing a ton of makeup and sportin some 6" F.M. pumps.

 

[BADVENOM]

Okay Ill play along 70G....

 

[Anaconda]

some old dude trying to impress his girlfriend that is 30 years his junior whose wearing a ton of makeup and sportin some 6" F.M. pumps.

Hey!! That's gonna be me someday...hehehehe

 

[SHADOW]

That is a serious car, never noticed that ghosted snake on his hood before. Well, a lot of guys are ********** at Scott, but you gotta give props for what he did with his car...

SHADOW.

 

[Gerald Levin]

The ghosted snake really took some talent even though I have mixed feelings as to whether I'd really want that on my car. If I remember correctly, Scott tried to sell this hood so he must have also had mixed feelings about it.

Anyone can get in. Tickets are ony $15. The S. FL Viper Club is meeting at 9:00a.m. to go to the auction. They will be the Viper coral. It is true that if you park there you can't leave till 4:00p.m.

[Andrew/USPWR]

what is the cut off for getting in the corral?

 

[2000GTS]

They will open the gate between 9:00a.m. and 9:30a.m. You also won't have to buy tickets, they will give you credentials. You can only leave after 4p.m.

[Vipermed 97.01]

This car is NOT!! for sale.The mistake that was made was that we made a replica GTS to ours in white.That is the car that will be at the auction.The only pictures that were to be used were the engine compartment.At the time of the photos the white car was not available for photos.I repeat my blue/White is NOT for sale and will not be at Barrett Jackson.

 

[Photo pro]

Hey 1Tony1,
What time was I supposed to meet you at the airfield Saturday?

 

[1TONY1]

Hey 1Tony1,
What time was I supposed to meet you at the airfield Saturday?

The same time you picked me up to go to American Idol....LOL

 

[Photo pro]

I am flying to the Dominican Republic on Sunday. Why don't you float by and pick me up?

Just when you were thinking that you were getting far, far away from me...there I am.

 

[Topawam]

We'll be at 9.00am at the Hollywood gas station.
Who'll be there?

 

[Blue Pilot]

Well we all had a good time today, lots of nice cars, some going for mucho dinero.

The most expensive car was a 1958 Buick Roadmaster Sedan that was owned by Howard Hughes. It went for an amazing $1.5 Million. The next highest priced car was a 1968 Ford Shelby GT500 convertible, serial #1, went for $510,000.
A new untitled Ford GT sold for $230,000.
A Plymouth Superbird, orange with a 440 sold for an amazing $142,000.

No vipers were present for sale.
