126,500
Is there a reserve on the vehicle? Is it possible that the bidding won’t make the reserve?
If I remember correctly all the cars at BJ cross the block with no reserves being offered.

$126,000.00 is my bid.
There may be some cars with a reserve, but the Pratte cars are all no reserve.
90,000
No real idea about this auction, but considering the time of year I’d say
$87750
I do, now, really like the red 69 convertible and its interior very much. Funny how your tastes can change so quickly
Lot 2048 is missing the cowl braces and has chrome shock tower caps! The list goes on but looks real nice.
I am in with 102,500
I think your bid is a little low Dennis! Assume you mean $126,000?
I’d like to read Dave’s comments, haven’t been able to find them, can you provide a link Bill?
Otherwise, based on your comments (that are based in part on Dave’s comments), my guess is probably way high. Could change it but don’t want to chase it.
When’s it slated to go across? Edit: Found it well down in the docket for Tuesday.
OOps All fixed:)
I am in at 136,500
It seems high but this sale of the cars in the Ron Pratte collection seems to be the theme of this years Barrett Jackson, so I am sure the pricing on anything associated with this collection is going to be more than expected.
I’ll say $100,000.00
I’m dropping now that I see its a Tuesday run. $82500
I have seen the gold car in person and talked to the owner. Lots of non original things. Including the engine. The owner still had the original engine as of last summer when I looked at the car.
$150K on the Ron Pratt Cougar. Yellow cars have always done well at BJ Auction.

Here you go, Bob:

Here are some pictures taken last night. The “Pratte” collection is all roped off, so access is limited.
As stated the interior is incorrect, (black should be houndstooth), wheels are incorrect, a lot of chromed parts and missing components.
After the yellow KR went for 300K last year, I’ll go $105,000.
