Default Re: Mecum Florida

Im not saying stuff didnt sell. I just watch the Very High dollar cars and Phil's W-30 convert was one of the highest price cars besides the Cobra.
People are calling me about the auction and asking what did a car get up too. I cant answer that because its a RESERVE auction. Its not real bidding most of the time.
The car world is still strong but im my opinion when it comes to the HIGH priced muscle cars, their is not a big line to buy these cars. Like the ZL1 Camaro,nobody was in the house that would have paid 600-700K which we all know that would be a GREAT price for a 4 speed ZL1 unless there is problems with the car(im not aware of any on that car)The car will sell for his price but not like a year ago.
My phone has been ringing off the hook and so is other owners of some rare cars. These guys are in search of PEDIGREE cars.
Last year I was putting out fires with buyers who have gotten burned with cars(re-bodies,fakes etc) Guys are getting smarter and its harder to sell a car that has issues. The market is getting better, cause guys are not on planet Pluto with prices and are getting back to planet Earth and you will see buyers coming out.
Cars that are under 100K are moving but in my opinion at Mecum, they were a lot of dealers and a few collectors buying.

If you have a Highend car I would like to hear from them cause I might have your buyer and if you are a buyer I might have your car that you have been looking for...

Just my opinion guys!!
