<VV> Re: Corvairs at Barrett-Jackson '08

[Gary Swiatowy]

Time of auction depends a lot on the owner. An owner can get his car 
auctioned at "peak time" on Saturday, or Friday depending on what they are 
willing to pay, there are different fees, depending on time of auction, that 
is when the highest dollar cars go through. If a Corvair owner is willing to 
pay, they might get TV coverage.
Then it is up to the producers..........A Corvair may go to auction during 
peak time, and the producer may cut to commercial.
Remember, this is still TV, and Ratings count towards advertising rates as 
well.

A guy from out my way took a 60 Dodge Pheonix there last year, Convertible 
D-500. He only paid for Sunday evening auction. Car went for 
$175,000................during prime time it would easily have been a 
quarter Million car.
Your results may very...........
