How was the panel? Anything interesting to fill us in on?

It was fun - didn't flub anything too seriously although I referred to Craig Jackson as Craig Barrett at one point :). Nothing new or revolutionary revealed - mainly focused on the new truck(s) that Gateway Bronco has started building along with some discussion of the 732000 Bronco.

What do you think about the quality/craftsmanship of the Gateway Broncos versus the Icon

A few pics from yesterday. Andyp with Willie Stroppe. My wife and I with him, and a shot of the panel put together by Seth Burgett from Gateway Bronco.

And I have no idea how to flip the photos.

Barrett-Jackson has a 10% buyers fee and 8% sellers fee.
Entry fees vary by auction and time/day. Wednesday consignment fee this year for Scottsdale was $600. Friday prime time was $1500.
I got to talk to the owner of Lot 1000.1, the white uncut 347 build for quite a while. They gave him an idea of what it could sell for but he did not have a choice on what day and time-slot it would cross the block. They chose for him which was Friday around noon. A gentleman saw me giving it a good run down and asked me what I think it would sell for since they were going to bid on it. I told him $80-90K considering the other Broncos that week. It sold for $100K.

I think I counted 31 Broncos in the entire show(Velocity, ICON, Gateway, etc). I spent about 5 minutes at every single Bronco that crossed the block and the crowds of people that would gather near them was incredible.

I thought Lot 838.1 was very clean but not a $131K Bronco. Lot 1014.1, the SEMA build by Cal Auto Creations, was incredible in person. So much attention to detail and customization's galore. The Sunday Broncos had the most issues. Its sad they still sold for $35-50K. Over-spray on window molding, paint chips, rust painted over, etc.

Todd I think I saw you and your posse tearing apart one of the Sunday red broncos outside under a tent. Didn't realize it was you at the time but now that I see the pics from the panel discussion.

Who was the vendor inside the massive tent that was selling $75K and $95K builds? I forgot to grab their flyer or get a pic of them but the Broncos they brought were not all that nice. Every single one had paint chips.

Photos I took including the blue ICON #33. Had a Nike logo on the plate in the engine bay. Also got a front end shot of it

I talked to Velocity Restorations for a while. Very knowledgeable and said if I ever get stuck on my restoration or need a part, give them a call. Very nice guys.

Is that a BC Bronco top? I wonder how long they had to wait for one?

Horsepower Customs is owned by Todd Clement, who founded Wide Open Baja and the Horsepower Ranch in Ensenada, Baja, where these trucks were built. Todd's a longtime Bronco guy. I didn't look too closely at the trucks (I saw your comments on them on FB) but they looked better than a lot of the so-called restored or rebuilt trucks I see for sale today.

Oh dear - hopefully we weren't too nasty. My wife went with us once a few years ago and was embarrassed because "we talked in loud voices and picked the cars apart". Still tells that story to friends :). My main buddy that I go with and I grew up in the 80s so we really like looking at all the 80s cars. And I have to comment on all the Broncos :). I thought in general the batch looked a little better this year but there were some real sketch ones too.

I am probably guilty of walking around with Todd and pointing stuff out. Little stuff like wheels cutting into the steering linkage.

I was only able to squeeze in 2 hours or so last Thursday. I was surprised how many Broncos were there. Looked like all the major players in the Bronco crowd were there, at least as displays.

I was able to chat with Max Lider for a bit and got some great inside info on the Blueprint 306 that they helped develop (which I'm expecting in just a few weeks). It was cool to hear about the business.

I think that was the worst I ever saw there - and props to you for seeing it. Never nice to see a heim joint self-clearancing the bead of your rim!

They are definitely out there more so than a few years ago.. Got to love it
