It's "THE SHOW". Can't look to Bj any more for the "health" of the collectors car market.
Good example is Ray Allen LS-6 rag top. Bj price was over 1 million in 2006. Same car went to Mecum in 2015 with a value between 5-600,000? I think it's more the cars being "bid-up" for the Tv show more than anything from what I heard. I PVR'd it and will watch after the shows over.

When auction prices are lower than expected everyone says its because the market is soft. When auction prices are higher than expected, no one says the market is recovering. I believe BJ gets the prices because there is alot of competition bidder wise out there and it takes more than one person to want your car in order to drive prices high.

BUT like Pratt, I see a lot of the guys getting out. Always here of collection coming to be sold off. Add that to the fact that the younger generation just doesn't have the drive for these classics either, make for a bleak future of this hobby. Sorta like the early '70's when guys like Reggie was buying up the "gas guzzlers" that are now collectable muscle cars. I hear it all the time for guys mid 30's and down. The new stuff, will out run the old, has EFI AC and overdrive, and you can drive from Alaska to Florida. My one friend, 29 yrs old. Has a C6 'Vette with a 6 sp. Cars runs 141MPH in the 1/4 @ 9.80's all motor stock bottom end. BUT his stock motor, turbos and trans Nissan Skyline is quicker in the 1/4 but lower MPH. The someone shows up with a '60 or '70's muscle car that can run low 10's. Rumbles in, gassy carb and he looks at me and says "and you like that, but there slow"........

It could be a lot of people made good money in the stock market this past year and have now decided to move it somewhere else, like collector cars.

Prices seem pretty consistently high to me, based only on watching it for about an hour earlier today.
