Well you can tell how well the economy is doing. Just look at what the muscle/collector cars are selling for on Barrett-Jackson. I.E. the first mid-engine #0001 Corvette sold for #3,000,000

While I am proud that the economy is booming I do not think that the way some rich folks are spending their money an indicator.
Hendrick only spent what the book value of the vette is. The rest was a tax deductible donation. He will sell the vette for a profit.
I know one boat salesman that sold 7 brand new rigged out 20-21' bass boats today.

Mark, where was this show located?
He must be a fast talker. Figuring 10 hours at the most, that’s a sale every hour and a half. I just bought a car 2 weeks ago and was in the dealership for 3 hours on the initial visit. And I have a lot more options to consider when buying a bass boat than a car!

Probably the best indicator of all.
No he won't sell it, he keeps them.
My son and I just bought a new boat, we were at the dealer twice for a total of 45 minutes.
I doubt Rick Hendricks will sell that Vette. He has one of the best Vette collections around.
Or he has done it for years and is really good. People are a lot more educated these days and have a good idea what tbey want too.
Right.

To put things into perspective, Hendrick's is a billionaire. 3 million is .003% of a billion. For someone that has $100,000 in savings, that same .003% is $300. That is a good rod.

He sold a few this week but I agree he may keep this one.
Some customers are not pains in the asses and know what they want ahead of time lol
One of the first things to happen in 08' was people with a lot more money than I will ever have quit buying. Good times trickle down just as well as the bad times.
