Auction ...........

[bluefury361]

I just watched the Friday BJ auction, (recorded fast forward version .... 5 hours in 45 minutes).

No C bodys, of course. Looks like the strong sellers are the "restro-mod's" & trucks. And the Corvettes which is just money talking, not a true barameter.

The B & E bodies seem to have slipped a little in value. A couple of nice 69 A12's and a U code 70 Challenger R/T convertible sold in the high 80K's. The high end, popular GM intermediates are holding steady. Restored tri five chevys took a big hit in value.

Mustangs and HP Fords seem to have taken a light hit in value.

A beautiful 53 Packard Carribbean convertible brough 60K, which I think was a huge bargain. And a very nice 61 Pontiac bonneville convertible topped 100K.

Interesting stuff, we'll see what today brings.

I saw the Packard sell, that car was stunning and the new owner got a deal IMO.

Those Corvettes are pased around like high priced whores.
Some end up in brothels with a bunch of others and the rest spend thir lives
working out of a suitcase. One or two get married.

As more boomers retire and end up on fixed incomes I wonder if values will continue to decline.

You naied it Fred. Impulse buys are drying up here. Europe is still young comparatively.

The jobless recovery doesn't help either.

The jobless recovery doesn't help either.

This is probably the main factor for lower values. The middle class is shrinking and that is where the grass roots of the hobby lies

Looks like I owe you a Coke...

I should get points for buzzing in first. Left handed even while eating pizza with the right.

 

[detmatt]

Veggie pizza, I'm sure...

 

[detmatt]

Another Imp on deck!

 

[Stormer]

More like bread with tomato sauce...

32 Imp convertible sedan coming up.

 

[detmatt]

Yuck!!!!!! No cheese??? You're certifiable!

 

[Stormer]

When you get off cheese you lose your taste for it real fast.

That 32 Imp was beautiful. 275K I think.

 

[detmatt]

I know what you mean, I've cut some things out of my diet and don't really miss much of it but cheese??? You still have an occasional donut, don't you?
sweet Shelby on the block, hold on to your hats gentlemen!
