Some of these Barrett-Jackson flops are painful to watch… 😬 👉 Which car in this video do you think was the BIGGEST auction fail of all time - and why? Was it overpriced hype, bad timing, or just the wrong crowd? Drop your pick in the comments and let’s debate it 👇
I speak English, but not well enough for this video. With AI, it's translated pretty well into German. That way, I don't have to read subtitles. Apart from that, many presenters are unable to pronounce German car brands correctly, for example. I find that embarrassing, but the machine woman does a good job.
Wide-body Challeger was not. Lamborghini Countach name made me wince each time. OUCH! 57 Chevy. Eleanor clone?69 Camaro ZL1 clown. Ford GT wasn't real. DeLorean BTF car was fake. I give up here.
This is what happens when you use the cheapest AI model and just post the first video the thing spits out without editing anything. To make a good, passable AI generated video, you need to dub it using your own voice model so you can go back and add spoken lines to fix mispronunciations and make it blend together, you also need to cherry pick your own visuals and images to go with the video to correct any mistake…maybe it will take you 20 minutes to make a good ten minute AI vid that will fool most people and not give itself away
@eluxurylifestyleYOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CLUESS!!!!! 80/90 % of the Challenger pictured are of the cars from 1970-1974 so yeah guess not cause wide body’s didn’t exist 😂😂😂😂 the current Gen there were only maybe 3 pics and they weren’t wide body’s 😂😂😂 You have no idea what the hell your doing and obviously no idea of the subject matter . 👍
Of the 57 Chevy Bel Airs that would show up in car shows, my favorite color was Candy Apple Red. The rear chrome trim stood out against that background.
@eluxurylifestyleBarret Jackson does not allow reserves. If your car crosses the stage at Barret Jackson, it is sold. The only way you can stop that is to buy it yourself and pay the auction fees and commission.
@eluxurylifestyle Johnny Carson's fame is objectively measurable. He had the most popular take show on TV for decades. Stick to things you have a clue about, and maybe don't be a lazy clown creating content with AI and not bothering to be aware of subject matter, correct pronunciation, showing video of what the AI is talking about. In fact, just stop making content altogether if you can't be bothered to make a quality product.
When watching, please keep this in mind “the big money never showed up.” Because you’re going to be hearing that line over and over again. I almost made it 3/4 through.
A. I. can't tell that there's no supercharger on the orange Challenger. A lot of errors in your A.I. video. You put a Tremec transmission in a Chevelle restomod with an automatic in it.
Why can't you put a supercharger on a challenger??? It's a custom, and tremec does make trannys that work like an automatic. Maybe do your homework next time.
@raywayne Same here… right up until I realized this Dodge is identifying as supercharged on a spiritual level. 😂 No blower, no whine, no boost gauge moving-it’s basically a Hellcat cosplaying as a grocery getter. Iconic.🤣
Interesting thing is that I actually go in and correct it when it pronounces it like that. I may have missed one. It usually pronounces it. Coon tock or coont ash
@eluxurylifestyle Well you really dropped the ball on this one. It was pronounced 3 different ways in the space of a few minutes. Cown- tash.....Count- ash......Cown- tok
I was at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2017 the Saturday they sold the blue Ferrari 458 (Lot 1372). It was Justin Bieber’s car done by West Coast Customs. He was at the show promoting the sale, but he seemed kind of out of it and didn’t know much about the car. The blue was a wrap, not paint, and it had a CARFAX damage report. It hammered at $395,000. They said the seller lost a fortune, but I bet Bieber didn’t care.
@eluxurylifestyle than we are talking about something different , the car did not sell because did not meet the reserve, so was enough to say the highest bid was this, but the car did not sell
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Barrett-Jackson. The beginning of everybody thinking that clapped out whatever that’s been sitting in the back 40 was magically worth thousands.
If it were a true Special Edition with matching numbers. I would pay $60-$80K for it. But to make that sound worse, I would want it to be a restomod. I know I said, with matching numbers except the following: a beefed-up 455 instead of the stock Pontiac 400 or Oldsmobile 403, updated tranny, better air conditioning, and add better inside door handles that could support closing the very heavy door of any '77-'78 Trans Am. I still have my all-original black and gold "non-special edition" in my garage that has been there since 1988
22:32 Johnny Carson wasn’t a B-list reality star Mr narrator. Carson was even bigger A-lister than jay leno, so if one of Lenos cars becomes worth an extra $10-$15k then yeah the provenance should have made the car worth more.
17:44 if you care to look at the big screen, you’ll see that car actually sold for $1,500,000 it’s sold for and the Ford GT that you had in the video a little earlier that car actually sold for a little over a half $1 million it’s sold for because I remember that car some of these cars that you’re showing actually got a lot more money than what you’re claiming they got.
You’re right - the big screen does show higher numbers on a few of these, and I should’ve been clearer separating true flops from cars that simply underperformed expectations. Appreciate you catching that.
Very educational, but I was very disappointed. You could’ve at least told the sewing price of every vehicle. The fact that it’s sold for thousands below what the perfect car would bring didn’t tell us crap. Very disappointed that you couldn’t spend five seconds and say the price that the car brought at the auction.May you and yours have a very healthy happy and prosperous 2026
Not saying what certain cars sold for ticked me off, like the LFA. Telling me what they wanted it to sell for is different then what it actually sold for
“KAY-IT” Sarcastic? KIT was AI was and still is next level but I don’t remember any sarcasm. “KIT HIT THE JETS WE GOTTA SAVE A PRETTY LADY THAT CAUGHT BY TREE BUDDY!” “STOP RIPPING JUICY FARTS ON MY SEATS MIKE!” ⚡️😆⚡️
No body panels on any car back in the '70s & earlier fit good. & orange peel & even sometimes poor paint was to be expected - even on '87 silver Monte Carlos.
#8 The Mercedes 560SEC sold for "$34,179"...? Since when do those auctions do single dollar increments like that? 🤔 And Johnny Carson is a "B-level celebrity from a reality television series"...?
You said a b-list celebrity,, I thought I read as it rolled across the line that it was formerly owned by some guy named Johnny Carson😅😮 I would call that anything but B listed
No, that wasn't Hoovie's old Plymouth. Hoovie's was real, but far from original/marching numbers. It had been rebuilt from a Genuine wrecked Superbird.
This shows at least three different Ghostbuster cars. You missed the biggest bomb of all times; the Ray Allen SS454 LS6 racecar 2.5 million to 250,000$ in 2 years.
barret jackson only ever sold one 770k in 1971 for 175000 which was a record price at that time - they tried to sell hitler's 770 - highest bid was 7 million -0 didn't make reserve - so what the fuck was this video talking about???
I wouldn't call Johnny Carson a B list reality show star. He was a huge late night show TV star. If the buyers at Barrett-Jackson had been from the Greatest Generation, the car would have sold for far more. If you had an A list party in Hollywood or New York and Johnny Carson wasn't there, you didn't have an A list party.
My next-door neighbor on Bolling AFB in DC had a Plymouth Superbird. I was in 2nd grade and we hated having to skate around it because the nosecone stuck out over the sidewalk. We had a Plymouth as well, a Plymouth Sport Suburban station wagon with rear facing bench seat😂😂
23:24 the white Mercedes wasn't from a "B list" reality star, it was from Johnny Carson's collection, and 35000 was a totally different fair price for a clean 560 coupe
Note to self, if you are going for a tribute car, a true Frankenstein, make it for yourself and don't plan to make bank. But I spent all this time and money modifying my Pinto look like a Shelby Cobra
How about ALL the prices??? How in the world are we supposed to know if it was a true bust or not if you don’t give us $$$!!! Kinda like some of the cars listed…this video was done half-a$$ed!! I thought AI was smarter!
The Ecto one was a 1959 Cadillac with the iconic fins. There was a later model replica that was shown in the video with no fins. Which one were they talking about? The 1939 Mercedes was also two different cars. One had covers on the side mount spares and the other one didn't
@eluxurylifestyle if it was a general video about the auction that excuse would fly but because you are doing a countdown list of something you should have the actual “something” showing while it’s being discussed. If you don’t have the footage, leave it out.
My son's father in law has a 1965 Shelby Cobra he bought in 1965 for $6,000 from Carroll Shelby ... Red with the single white stripe and iconic drivers seat roll cage .... All original, numbers matching, 1 owner with an appraisal north of $5,000,000 ... My grandson will inherit it through a $1 sale
@eluxurylifestyle ... My son married well ... A really good woman and they struggled like most young couples. It wasn't until my grandson was born and they needed a bigger apartment that she mentioned owning a house in North Carolina ... He married into money and didn't know it.
It’s hard for me to like a video where you can tell so clearly that it’s just read by a robot… the RUclipsrs, that actually are real people always out rank the AI bots.
Some of these Barrett-Jackson flops are painful to watch… 😬
👉 Which car in this video do you think was the BIGGEST auction fail of all time - and why?
Was it overpriced hype, bad timing, or just the wrong crowd?
Drop your pick in the comments and let’s debate it 👇
Yes but with so many factual inaccuracies, this AI narrated video is painful to listen to.
The Mercedes was at the wrong place. The big money for that era shows up at Pebble Beach.
Your AI doesn't know how to pronounce "Countach", Lame!
@jaymzafishI'm not defending AI but tremec does make dual clutch automatics
@masskracka I didn't get that far in the video, if your AI can't properly pronounce "Countach" in a car video, you shouldn't be making car videos.
The Ai narrator can't even pronounce the cars' names correctly.
Fair criticism - pronunciation accuracy matters and is being worked on.
Why don't these posters proof-listen their videos to make sure everything is properly pronounced??
I speak English, but not well enough for this video. With AI, it's translated pretty well into German. That way, I don't have to read subtitles. Apart from that, many presenters are unable to pronounce German car brands correctly, for example. I find that embarrassing, but the machine woman does a good job.
@townhall05446Thank you, getting to the point where AI is recognized I leave immediately.
Right
Some of the vehicles shown aren't even the ones he's talking about :P
Fair criticism - visuals should always match the narration. Tightening that up going forward.
Wide-body Challeger was not. Lamborghini Countach name made me wince each time. OUCH! 57 Chevy. Eleanor clone?69 Camaro ZL1 clown. Ford GT wasn't real. DeLorean BTF car was fake. I give up here.

Bad video! So all these cars had no reserve on them? Plus the first car in the video had no supercharger!
How he pronounced countach was worse than a banshee scream
It's not a "he", it's an "it". Obvious A.I.
Fair - pronunciation feedback noted.
Provenance and orange peel too. Say 'no' to AI bs once and for all.
I agree and he is just pulling numbers out of his ass. He has no clue what people spent on these cars
@eluxurylifestylegood, noted, stop.
Your B list guy was Johnny Carson. Hardly a B listed guy.
Fair point - fame tiers are subjective, especially across generations.
@eluxurylifestyle Whatever
@eluxurylifestyle No, you suck.
And since when are talk shows called 'reality shows'? LMAO 😂
he is the talk show G.O.A.T.
Jonny Carson was not a “b list celebrity from a reality show.”
That Challenger certainly isn’t a wide body
It is not supercharged either
Nor did it have a supercharger...
Lol I was asking myself if they put the wrong picture up. Cause I was saying that same thing. 😂
You’re right - that one wasn’t a true factory widebody. Good catch.
@eluxurylifestyleYOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CLUESS!!!!! 80/90 % of the Challenger pictured are of the cars from 1970-1974 so yeah guess not cause wide body’s didn’t exist 😂😂😂😂 the current Gen there were only maybe 3 pics and they weren’t wide body’s 😂😂😂 You have no idea what the hell your doing and obviously no idea of the subject matter . 👍
#10 Corvette had panel gaps- probably exactly the way it left the factory!!
The 57 Chevy had a beautiful blue color it wasn't purple
Beautiful car in my opinion. Who says a resto-mod has to be the original factory color?
@bobfeller604Also, the rear chrome trim was too skinny.
I'd have to get used to that.
Of the 57 Chevy Bel Airs that would show up in car shows, my favorite color was Candy Apple Red. The rear chrome trim stood out against that background.
Good catch - lighting can definitely skew how colors come across.
@eluxurylifestyle You mean AI is color blind.
Did this AI slop say Johnny Carson is a B list celebrity from a reality show???
No argument there - that was a bad line and shouldn’t have made it in. Carson was absolute A-list.
Missing costs and prices on several cars, NEGATIVE on this video.
The was he pronounced certain cars. Ferrari countack. Would call Buster car ecto 1
Some final prices aren’t publicly disclosed by the auction house.
@eluxurylifestyle
If that’s so, why are you claiming it was a big loss?
@eluxurylifestyleBarret Jackson does not allow reserves. If your car crosses the stage at Barret Jackson, it is sold. The only way you can stop that is to buy it yourself and pay the auction fees and commission.
It would be nice if they showed the real vehicles they are talking about.
Fair point - matching footage more precisely is something we’re improving going forward.
A I said Johnny Carson was a B-list celebrity from a reality show, when he actually was the Host of The Tonight Show for decades !
WTF ? A I sucks !
Fair point - fame tiers are definitely subjective across generations.
@eluxurylifestyle Johnny Carson's fame is objectively measurable. He had the most popular take show on TV for decades.
Stick to things you have a clue about, and maybe don't be a lazy clown creating content with AI and not bothering to be aware of subject matter, correct pronunciation, showing video of what the AI is talking about.

When watching, please keep this in mind “the big money never showed up.” Because you’re going to be hearing that line over and over again. I almost made it 3/4 through.
Fair feedback - appreciate you pointing that out. I’ll tighten that up in future videos.
A. I. can't tell that there's no supercharger on the orange Challenger. A lot of errors in your A.I. video. You put a Tremec transmission in a Chevelle restomod with an automatic in it.
Thought I was the only one for a minute. Well done, sir! 😂
Appreciate the technical notes - accuracy feedback taken.
Why can't you put a supercharger on a challenger??? It's a custom, and tremec does make trannys that work like an automatic. Maybe do your homework next time.
I guess this is now the world as we know it. Sad.
@raywayne Same here… right up until I realized this Dodge is identifying as supercharged on a spiritual level. 😂 No blower, no whine, no boost gauge moving-it’s basically a Hellcat cosplaying as a grocery getter. Iconic.🤣
0:13 i wouldn't buy that hunk of crap with the gas tank lid not even close properly 😂
The biggest disappointment was that the prices of 8 of the top 10 cars are a secret. Can you say “Clickbait”??
Some prices aren’t disclosed publicly by the auction house - that part’s out of my control.
AI: a replica of the replica talking about replica’s
Comment of the week!! Well done sir…well done!
😅 Point taken - this one clearly didn’t land for you. Appreciate the honesty.
Not actually providing selling prices is diabolical 😢 . Total bs
Some final prices aren’t publicly disclosed, especially when reserves are involved.
did that terrible a i voice just say that Johnny Carson is a "b list reality tv star?" lol
Yeah, that was a miss - Johnny Carson was absolutely A-list. Appreciate the catch.
That count-tash car… lol such a comical video…
Interesting thing is that I actually go in and correct it when it pronounces it like that. I may have missed one. It usually pronounces it. Coon tock or coont ash
@e@eluxurylifestyleI will not watch anymore videos that use ai.. You don’t have knowledge to make video on subject leave it to someone that does…
@eluxurylifestyle Well you really dropped the ball on this one. It was pronounced 3 different ways in the space of a few minutes. Cown- tash.....Count- ash......Cown- tok
I was at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2017 the Saturday they sold the blue Ferrari 458 (Lot 1372). It was Justin Bieber’s car done by West Coast Customs.

They said the seller lost a fortune, but I bet Bieber didn’t care.
That’s great firsthand info - and you’re right, that blue was a wrap. Appreciate you adding real context here.
I'd like to have that Lamborghini Count Ash. Lol
Would rather have the actual selling prices than the generalizations.
Some final prices aren’t publicly disclosed, especially when reserves are involved.
Michael Knight and the K...... it..... car lol
i like how this AI talked shit on K.I,T.T with probably less messups than this one did in this video.
13 minutes into the video I can't go any further - Resto Mods - Replica - Tribute are common words and No surprises on why these cars flopped
That’s actually the point of the video - originality (or lack of it) is usually what kills the value.
You don't need a resto-rod to lose a ton of money. Just buy a new vehicle!
True - timing and entry price matter just as much.
The only one making money at these auctions is Keith Jackson .
Uhh, Craig Jackson. Keith Jackson is dead. But you you are right!
Auction houses definitely come out ahead most consistently.
yup
1:12 not a wide body, stock body
Correct - thanks for pointing that out 👍
None of these builders expect to get what they put into these cars!!!
JOHNNY CARSON….. B LIST CELEBRITY 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fair - that one definitely depends on perspective and era.
@eluxurylifestyleNo, it doesn’t. AI lameness.
"Screaming chicken on the hood..." What's this dude's(AI) problem?? Everybody knows it was a Phoenix
Funny.
Fair point - the Phoenix conversion is what most people recognize. Appreciate the clarification.
I love hearing AI try to pronounce Countach
😂 Fair - that one gets everyone talking.
You are weird .............. because humans WE HATE AI VOICES
A I robot doesn’t know anything about Automobiles!
these people that build clone cars should know it is a labor of love. The prices to me anyway are shockingly high.
Well said. Most builds like that are passion projects first - profit is rarely the goal.
Nice and partially interesting video, but since all those cars were in a public auction I expect to hear the actual selling price for ALL of them.
Not all final sale prices are publicly released, especially when reserves are involved.
@eluxurylifestyle than we are talking about something different , the car did not sell because did not meet the reserve, so was enough to say the highest bid was this, but the car did not sell
At Barrett Jackson the hammer drop price is the actual price. It is a No Reserve auction.
It’s not a flop, for the lucky purchaser’s.👋🏾😉.
Exactly - outcomes depend heavily on timing and who was bidding.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Barrett-Jackson. The beginning of everybody thinking that clapped out whatever that’s been sitting in the back 40 was magically worth thousands.
Should be called "screwed by Barrett-Jackson Auction House"!!!
Oh yea!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Hate these AI Chat voice overs so ridiculous and what was the final sale prices is it the chat cannot say numbers properly
Not all final prices are released publicly, but feedback noted.
@eluxurylifestyleOK, bot.
Johnny Carson is not a B list celebrity. He is an A list allday long.
100% agreed - Johnny Carson was absolutely A-list. Thanks for calling that out.
How can you say someone lost money when you have no idea what they had in it?
I have sold cars that needed work for way more than I paid for it.
Totally fair - outcomes depend on entry price, restoration costs, and timing. It’s never one-size-fits-all.
#25 'custom, wide-body Challenger. Eight different cars shown.
Fair callout - some segments combine multiple examples of similar builds, which we should’ve made clearer.
Every black and gold TA is not a "Bandit tribute car".
That was a paint job that was available stock.
This always kills me... People get a Black and Gold or Brown and Gold TA. Put a CB radio and a tag that says Bandit and call it a tribute car.
If it were a true Special Edition with matching numbers. I would pay $60-$80K for it. But to make that sound worse, I would want it to be a restomod. I know I said, with matching numbers except the following: a beefed-up 455 instead of the stock Pontiac 400 or Oldsmobile 403, updated tranny, better air conditioning, and add better inside door handles that could support closing the very heavy door of any '77-'78 Trans Am. I still have my all-original black and gold "non-special edition" in my garage that has been there since 1988
Ferrari in Blue was definitely a wrap, NOT a paint job.
selling a resto-mod corvette for $65,000 sounds like a good day ... when a 1978 pure 100% original vette sells for $20,000
Totally fair point. That’s really the takeaway - resto-mods don’t always follow the same logic as original cars.
22:32 Johnny Carson wasn’t a B-list reality star Mr narrator. Carson was even bigger A-lister than jay leno, so if one of Lenos cars becomes worth an extra $10-$15k then yeah the provenance should have made the car worth more.
19:41 That "flop" Corvette sold for $985,000 according to the screen behind it...not exactly a flop.
Good clarification - ‘flop’ here was relative to expectations, not absolute price. Appreciate the added context.
17:44 if you care to look at the big screen, you’ll see that car actually sold for $1,500,000 it’s sold for and the Ford GT that you had in the video a little earlier that car actually sold for a little over a half $1 million it’s sold for because I remember that car some of these cars that you’re showing actually got a lot more money than what you’re claiming they got.
You’re right - the big screen does show higher numbers on a few of these, and I should’ve been clearer separating true flops from cars that simply underperformed expectations. Appreciate you catching that.
Definately overused... "The serious money never showed up"
Fair criticism - that’s on me. I’ll tighten that phrasing up in future videos 👍
Very educational, but I was very disappointed. You could’ve at least told the sewing price of every vehicle. The fact that it’s sold for thousands below what the perfect car would bring didn’t tell us crap. Very disappointed that you couldn’t spend five seconds and say the price that the car brought at the auction.May you and yours have a very healthy happy and prosperous 2026
Fair criticism. I should’ve been clearer with the final sale prices - appreciate you taking the time to call that out.
Not saying what certain cars sold for ticked me off, like the LFA. Telling me what they wanted it to sell for is different then what it actually sold for
That’s fair feedback - actual hammer prices are always more useful than estimates.
I wouldn't exactly call Johnny Carson, a reality show person besides that, when he was on, I don't think anybody Ever heard of a reality show.
Fair point - Johnny Carson was absolutely not a reality TV figure. That phrasing was off, and we should’ve been clearer.
*This video was a Major dissapointment due to the lack of knowing the sold prices on some cars.*
Fair criticism - noted for future videos 👍
Clones are only for you to enjoy and take to low end car shows. It will never make money, they're not supposed to
“KAY-IT” Sarcastic? KIT was AI was and still is next level but I don’t remember any sarcasm. “KIT HIT THE JETS WE GOTTA SAVE A PRETTY LADY THAT CAUGHT BY TREE BUDDY!” “STOP RIPPING JUICY FARTS ON MY SEATS MIKE!” ⚡️😆⚡️
😂 KITT absolutely had personality - some of those lines are burned into my brain.
No body panels on any car back in the '70s & earlier fit good. & orange peel & even sometimes poor paint was to be expected - even on '87 silver Monte Carlos.
100% true. Factory tolerances back then were nothing like today - orange peel and panel gaps were pretty normal.
Many of these mistakes, imperfections, ect. the narrator talked about I could not see.
Fair feedback 👍 I should’ve matched the visuals tighter with the narration - appreciate you pointing that out.
#8 The Mercedes 560SEC sold for "$34,179"...? Since when do those auctions do single dollar increments like that? 🤔
And Johnny Carson is a "B-level celebrity from a reality television series"...?
Good catches - auction increments and the Carson reference should’ve been handled better. Appreciate you pointing it out.
What a waste. They built it up and never told the final price on many.
I was disappointed in the video. You never indicated what the car sold for.
Fair criticism - that’s on me. I should’ve been clearer on final sale prices. I’ll tighten that up in future videos 👍
32 Ford was tainted with the LS ! Hope you learned your lesson bud ! Lol
Haha fair take 😄 LS swaps definitely divide opinions.
The number on the Ford GT is a 9 and the smashed one has an 8.
Good eye - appreciate the correction 👍
You said a b-list celebrity,, I thought I read as it rolled across the line that it was formerly owned by some guy named Johnny Carson😅😮 I would call that anything but B listed
Fair point - Johnny Carson is absolutely not B-list by any stretch.
Wasn't the Plymouth Hoovies, originally thought to be real but the Car Wizard figured out it wasn't?
No, that wasn't Hoovie's old Plymouth. Hoovie's was real, but far from original/marching numbers. It had been rebuilt from a Genuine wrecked Superbird.
@Nostalgia_Garage Cheers, I knew there was something about his, just not what I thought 👍
Good question - that one definitely sparked a lot of debate over the years.
Notice the *[AI]* never said *Johnny Carson* nme but insulted, calling him a B list celebrity from a reality? (WTF)
Tip for auction car buyers:
Look for nice, drivable Resto-Mod, and spend around $50K.
Save time, money for $100K in car upgrades.
That’s solid advice - people underestimate total ownership costs.
What is a Lamborghini Caltash
There isn’t one - I meant Lamborghini Countach, one of the most iconic supercars ever.
That blue Ferrari belonged to Justin Bieber and sold for $434000+ I wouldn't exactly call that a flop.
Fair point - context matters. In that case it’s more about expectations vs outcome, not the final dollar amount.
That Benz hammer was not AMG I was just a 560sec
You’re right - that one was a standard 560 SEC. Appreciate the correction.
This shows at least three different Ghostbuster cars. You missed the biggest bomb of all times; the Ray Allen SS454 LS6 racecar 2.5 million to 250,000$ in 2 years.
That Ray Allen car is a great example - market swings can be brutal.
The 1966 Shelby cobra super snake 800 horsepower twin super charged shown in the video sold for over 5 million dollars
The Mercedes Benz 7.... 7..... 0..... k. Sounded like I was on hold with a automated call center
Fair criticism - pacing and delivery are things I’m actively improving.
barret jackson only ever sold one 770k in 1971 for 175000 which was a record price at that time - they tried to sell hitler's 770 - highest bid was 7 million -0 didn't make reserve - so what the fuck was this video talking about???
Lost me when the AI called Johnny Carson a B lister
You’re right - that was poorly worded on my part. Carson was an absolute legend. Appreciate the correction.
I didn't get that far and it still pissed me off.
They used a Batman Tumbler in one of the Gumball 3000 Rally's.
Yep - that’s true. The Tumbler has popped up in a few real-world events over the years.
The "purple" 57 chevy is actually Blue !
A I strikes again ! A I doesn't have eyes. lol
Good catch - lighting can definitely throw colors off.
All tĥat and no price given for the Nazi era Mercedes. WTF?
That car never officially sold, so there isn’t a final hammer price to reference - estimates and bids only. Worth calling out though 👍
B list celebrity from a reality show?
Does one know who Johnny Carson is?
That description varies depending on era and audience.
Lol lots o screw ups in the video. the Elenore wasn't, only a black GT 500 stang. n the Bel Air said was Purple was blue. Lol AI must be colorblind
Appreciate the corrections - feedback noted 👍
I wouldn't call Johnny Carson a B list reality show star. He was a huge late night show TV star. If the buyers at Barrett-Jackson had been from the Greatest Generation, the car would have sold for far more. If you had an A list party in Hollywood or New York and Johnny Carson wasn't there, you didn't have an A list party.
You’re right - that phrasing was off. Johnny Carson was absolutely A-list television royalty.
If Barrett Jackson can’t tell the difference between a survivor and one that’s been restored says a lot about them.
B-J knows. The AI in this vid doesn't.
Lamborghini Countack?
good catch. noted
My next-door neighbor on Bolling AFB in DC had a Plymouth Superbird. I was in 2nd grade and we hated having to skate around it because the nosecone stuck out over the sidewalk. We had a Plymouth as well, a Plymouth Sport Suburban station wagon with rear facing bench seat😂😂
That’s an awesome memory 😂 Superbirds definitely made life interesting back then.
An the old AI voice over
If you’re going to make a clip on sale prices, at least do your homework and list the price
That’s fair feedback. I should’ve been clearer on the sale prices - noted for the next one.
Lesson ? don't take your car to Barrett-Jackson if you're not sure what your cars worth is.
That’s honestly a solid takeaway. No-reserve auctions can be brutal if expectations aren’t realistic.
The Elenour Mustang wasn’t Black, it was Silver Grey Met guys.
You’re right - Silver Grey Metallic is correct. Appreciate the correction.
23:24 the white Mercedes wasn't from a "B list" reality star, it was from Johnny Carson's collection, and 35000 was a totally different fair price for a clean 560 coupe
Note to self, if you are going for a tribute car, a true Frankenstein, make it for yourself and don't plan to make bank.
But I spent all this time and money modifying my Pinto look like a Shelby Cobra
That’s the reality right there. Build it for yourself first - resale should always be secondary.
Not even showing the actual cars that flopped
Fair criticism - we’re pushing harder to match exact cars with footage going forward.
Those are nice but I've got Jon Voight's LeBaron outside
Only one man can make that claim. Legendary.
We're not in 2020 any more, General Lee is no longer controversial!
How about ALL the prices??? How in the world are we supposed to know if it was a true bust or not if you don’t give us $$$!!! Kinda like some of the cars listed…this video was done half-a$$ed!! I thought AI was smarter!
Totally fair - prices should’ve been clearly stated across the board. Lesson learned.
The 57 Chevy was nice. Johny Carson was A list. The King of Late Night! I would have paid more if I could have.
Totally agree - the 57 Chevy was a standout, and Carson’s name carried serious weight.
Bottom line, which they all know, is that you do it for the passion. You are not in it to get rich.
Exactly - passion first, always. Appreciate that.
The Ecto one was a 1959 Cadillac with the iconic fins. There was a later model replica that was shown in the video with no fins. Which one were they talking about? The 1939 Mercedes was also two different cars. One had covers on the side mount spares and the other one didn't
Good catch. There were multiple versions shown over the years, including replicas and different configs. Appreciate you pointing that out 👍
Why aren't they showing the cars they're talking about in this video?
Fair question - some footage is limited or archival, but the focus was on the history and auction context rather than just visuals.
Because AI garbage and laziness.
@eluxurylifestyle if it was a general video about the auction that excuse would fly but because you are doing a countdown list of something you should have the actual “something” showing while it’s being discussed. If you don’t have the footage, leave it out.
My son's father in law has a 1965 Shelby Cobra he bought in 1965 for $6,000 from Carroll Shelby ... Red with the single white stripe and iconic drivers seat roll cage .... All original, numbers matching, 1 owner with an appraisal north of $5,000,000 ... My grandson will inherit it through a $1 sale
That’s an incredible story - exactly why provenance and originality matter so much.
@eluxurylifestyle ... My son married well ... A really good woman and they struggled like most young couples. It wasn't until my grandson was born and they needed a bigger apartment that she mentioned owning a house in North Carolina ... He married into money and didn't know it.
It’s hard for me to like a video where you can tell so clearly that it’s just read by a robot… the RUclipsrs, that actually are real people always out rank the AI bots.
Appreciate the honest feedback - delivery matters and we’re working on improving that.
In the first 2 minutes we see three different cars as the description is about a single vehicle at auction. I'm out!
That’s fair feedback - pacing and structure definitely need tightening.
