I've read where the price of MoPars are leveling off or dropping by as much as 16%. This was referencing the high end and driver quality cars both. Barrett Jackson and Mecum sale prices are down but the associated fees are up. Prices of
"basket case" cars surely doesn't reflect that drop!!....

 

[1978 NYB]

1971 Cuda convertible Lot #S87
V-code (1 of 5) with a 4 speed And a Super Trac Pak had a high bid of $700,000 and didn't sell. Seller said he needed $750,000 and the bid goes on.

Those cars I posted were very close to #1 graded cars. Turn key didn't need anything.

Took my wife and all 6 grandkids to it last Friday. Was a good show even though not much C body representation. Lots of nice cars. The highlight was the Hellcat rides. The kids loved them.

It's a rarefied world up there, Bob, where guys like you and me aren't capable of comprehending their mindset.
They found a skillset that obtained themselves a gawdarful amount of money only and that's all.
