Sorry, all I had to do was go to results and look. Duh!
I read a few comments and am doubtful that timing is responsible for over $100,000 difference between Lot 1126 and the other 3 Power Wagons. All are stock and claim complete restoration. Lot 1126 has an original working winch, but I don't think that accounts for a $100,000 difference. We left on Wednesday, so I did not see the bidding and have no idea how many were bidding on it. It sure would be nice to know what made the $100,000 difference. Reputation of the restorer? It is not a mistake or just luck, and probably not timing. The bidders on a $161,000 truck are not stupid or easily swayed, especially when they have a choice of 4 stock trucks. It should be nice to talk whomever bid lot 1126 up to see what made it so desirable. Did the grill ever leave the factory being the same color as the cab? It seems Lot 1126 and the restomods have the grill painted the cab color. The timing of the auction depends mostly upon the house's appraisal of the vehicle, with the least expensive vehicles going early and the most expensive vehicles going Saturday night. Barrett-Jackson had already decided which trucks were worth more and determined the auction day thusly.
