I have been hearing for the last 3-4 years that the market is going to drop. Sort of like predicting the long range weather, keep saying the same thing long enough and sooner or later you will be right. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Well, I sold my real 1971 HemiCuda Convertible (the yellow one) to Otis Chandler back in 1987 for $54,000 because I thought the market had peeked. ...I guess I was wrong (It's a 2.5 million dollar car now) At least I kept my 70 Charger.

The morale of the story is: if you like it, buy it and keep it to enjoy yourself. That way you cant go wrong. If the value goes up or down you still have the car you liked to begin with. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

$68,000 for the yellow '66 Vette 300hp powerglide seems outrageous to me.

Jeff, The Orange car had a non-GM crossram, was originally green, NOM DZ302, quarter panels installed crooked, etc. Wolf in sheeps clothing. Don't think it was as good of car as my Garnet Z with the non-GM crossram that went for 30K less on ebay last week although it was probably "prepped" for auction better.

That's what I thought about the Orange car. $79K for a NOM non GM crossram Z28. I can't figure it out. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Without coming off negative I did not say it last night.....the Motion Vette Brought $210,000!!!!! I predicted it would not do over 200K......I guess the market is changing........

Yeah, that was a stunner. These guys paying $500K for a street rod but nobody is stepping up for the rare muscle. I'm confused. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

In my opinion, very few bidders there know anything about COPOs, Motion cars or other truely rare muscle cars. They want something to look pretty sitting in their garage. I'm not saying the COPOs aren't nice looking cars. Most of them look like a plain jane car until you open the hood. That's not what most of these guys want. They would rather spend $500K on one of Boyd's street rods that will be worth $100K in a few years.

Have to admit that some of those customs are pretty sweet. I did like that "Whatthehea" Boyd car. Some of those woodys were done very nicely. The silver woody gave me a, well you know. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

I guess if the Dellahaye/What-the-haye was a truck, it would have been called the "What-the-F--k https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

It's probably because the ultra-dollar street rods are truly one-of-a-kind but there's always some other guy out there with a Hemi Cuda or LS6 convert.
