IMO, the timing for the Mecum Spring auction could not have been better, and really gave our hobby a shot in the arm. Ever since the economy went south, all of the talk centered on what were musclecars worth now. Well, I think we now know. With so many musclecars, of all makes, models and condition at Mecum, whether hemi, LS-6, COPO, Shelby, etc, coupled with a 60%+ sell rate, we now have an idea where the market is, and should see cars for sale reflecting this.




We will always have the naysayers, who say our hobby is on the decline, but hard to justify, with not only quality cars drawing good money, but I saw a lot of good drivers change hands, which no doubt will show up at local cruises and shows. IMO, the musclecar hobby is as strong as ever.

Another question that got answered, could Dana attract enough buyers considering the large number of rare cars going across the block? No doubt that was not a problem.
