The storms that ripped through AZ a little bit back caused TONS of damage to many classic cars. This made me cry a little inside.

That sucks. At least Barret Jackson had the smarts to plan ahead and reinforce their tents.

This place was stupid and let theirs blow on to the 101 (big highway). And if that wasn't bad enough, cause some serious damage to expensive classic cars.

That poor Pantera.

Wait was there hail or something? What kind of winds could do that sort of damage? There was one car that looked like a tree fell on the hood. I seriously am depressed after seeing that now.

The winds picked up the tends and sent them flying around. A few of them were rolling up the 101 like Christian said. Those heavy tents will do a lot of freaking damage.

Wow. Barrett Jackson noted they surrounded their big tents with tractor trailers as a precaution. It is estmated half of the 600 R&S cars with damages guessed to average $5,000 per car, maybe $1.5 million total in repairs. Hagerty Insurance said they had policies on 125 of the 600 cars there. Sounds like Hagerty's gonna take a major hit.

Absolutely horrible.

Not just lost money. Much of that damage is probably to mint or near-mint cars. That's lost HISTORY.

Exactly why that hurts so much to look at. All of those cars are classics and I'm sure some are all original and never wrecked. Sad to see all those cars like that.

What's even worse is that the authorities wouldn't let anyone to inspect their cars in right away. They had to wait to the next day to see if their car was one of the damaged ones. That would have me twisted up in knots.

Those tents were 800 feet long... Probably 24 feet tall, and the posts were HUGE.

The winds dragged those tents across rows and rows of cars, breaking everything they touched.

The one thing that I can say is that they all look repairable. I mean expensive as hell to repair but they don't look like totals if you are willing to spend the dough.

Getting the parts, now that is the hard part.
