I would guess there are many reasons why you're seeing a number of high end cars (and others) being brought to this auction regardless of the current market.

I sold our Chevelle recently not because we had to or that we needed to. I was ready for a change but equally important was the fact that I'm getting a little tired of the misrepresentation and outright forgery that continues to grow in the hobby be it the cars themselves or the documentation that accompanies the vehicles, the popular '70 Chevelle is a good example but there are many others as well. I would also say that I am of the belief that the markets for a good share of these cars will continue to stay soft for quite awhile. You can't rule out that prices could soften further for many. So perhaps some bringing cars to these auctions might have some of these same feelings as well as those already mentioned.

I would add that we had a noted private collector that had been expressing interest in our car for awhile so we had a qualified / motivated buyer which made it convenient.

I will still follow and enjoy the musclecar (and old cars in general) hobby and may well return to another vehicle from this era in due time but for now just stepping back a bit is the right fit for me.
