Next week I'll be going to Barrett Jackson. Will be interesting to see how the cars do there.

Many collectors are aging out. I have picked up good 40's and 50's cars in the past 10 years that I never thought I could in their hey day of the 80's. Estates are getting liquidated. I am hoping to be around in 20 years to see what happens with the muscle car market.
I have to agree with this... "Boomers" are getting too old to play with cars anymore or dying off and their widows or kids are liquidating.

I said it in post 16 of this thread and have been saying it for about 18 months.
I didn't think it would happen with these cars but I witnessed it when selling my wagon. Disappointing really. Im glad I dont have anything to go upside down in.

Out of curiosity I checked out the rest of the guy's collection that sold. Most of them went for bargain prices. Several seemed really high. I thought the 300 was a super deal, expected $60-80k.
He had 2 B-bodies, they went high, perhaps their market is still strong.
$84,700: 1964 base Fury convertible with 426 wedge, 4-speed, blue, I thought the body looked a bit wavy, no underbody shots
$280,500: 1967 Belvedere I 2-door sedan, stripper with a hemi & 4-speed, red, superb survivor

There is still Ef-it money out there and plenty of it. Just dwindling numbers with it interested in these cars. There will still be cars that get high money but again I believe there wont be as many and we will see the numbers slowly come down.
People are still asking stupid numbers though.

I have been holding off 3 years now in finding the like 66 GTO I had in school. I see the same cars listed going on 14 months and no movement in price. Soooo here I am here looking for a 69 Sport Fury with at least a 383 as that looks to be the better bang for the buck right now. 4 speed would be nice
I am surprised the 300L sold for only $30K.
In February 2023 I visited place where Karabetsos has his collection and took a bunch of pics for a member here, I think it was @hergfest but not sure.
At the time he had it listed for $80K, and when asked what's his buy-it-now price, he said he needed to get $70K. 3 years later it goes for a bargain at $30K. Someone got a great deal IMO.
Here's some pics from 2023...
