If you can afford a million dollar hit, why sell it at all?

I am guessing whoever sold it didn't care about the hit. They probably needed the space. LOL.

But I agree with the above, He had to have known the car would bring less, why not just keep the thing.

And thats the problem with Barrett Jackson... trumped up cars and morons with more cash than brains on national cable television.

I should have sold my TTA on there, probably would have gotten $5gs more!

Imagine that - losing nearly an entire Bugatti Veyron in the transaction...dumb ass.

This is the guy who had the car - the lowest mileage, highest winning percentage LS6 Chevelle SS Convertible delivered to a drag strip and ran it down the quarter mile just for kicks! Figure he made 4 runs - it cost him $250k per quarter mile...wow.

You guys fail to realize that to some people $1M is like 10 bucks. It isn't fair to judge them based on your own financial perspective
