Re: Mecum Auction COPOs everywhere
I think that there is a very slight market adjustment happening right now and it has more to do with affordability and what someone is comfortable driving value-wise than anything else. I've been working on a number of potential purchases over the past few weeks and every person is selling for the same reason..."the car is just worth too much now for me to feel comfortable driving it around". I've been to a bunch of cruise nights this summer and there have been some neat cars out there, but where are all the COPO's, LS6's, and other higher dollar cars that I used to see regularly??? All tucked away in their garages I'm afraid. For me, $75K or so is my comfort zone for a muscle car that I will drive and it is getting tough to find anything really neat at that price any longer. I believe that many others feel the same way as my experience has been that the higher production number hi-po cars above $75K take a lot longer to sell these days (LS6, L78, Z-28 etc.).
