Stealth Bird…I think it might be time to come back down to earth. If you actually believe base model cars with high production volume are more valuable than elite Muscle cars with very limited production numbers…I believe its time for a reality check. The cars with lowest production numbers, most visual appeal and highest horsepower figures have & always will be the most sought after with collectors. Those just the facts my friend.

So the 1980 Trans Am Special Edition that sold for $72,000 was which one, high horsepower or low production?

And I apologize in advance if this is not Elliot's car, I thought it was. http://www.russoandsteele.com/collec..._w30/6454.html

I guess it depends on your perspective, and your vested interests. If you talk to a realtor, there's nothing wrong with the housing market right now, so it's a good time to list your house with them. And according to my investment banker, our 401K is doing very well. And the Applebee's restaurant down the street from us said they haven't been impacted by the economy at all, business was great! We went back the next week, and the windows were boarded up.

The main point is, I think that you need to see the car before you can assess a real value. Not look at pictures. Ed

anomoly...........frequent at auctions where alcohol and the un-informed are around.(and if it is the one I am thinking of at this years auction, it was probably the best low mile survivor I had ever seen. It would just take 2 who want that particular car. Put out an ultra low mile survivor no excuses 70 GM A body and it would be nutty money well beyond that) Although I am of the opinion that as my generation (high school class of 84) gets older, cars from our era will be in demand. I just enjoyed a survivor 4 speed 80 Z28 for a year in 07
My point was, that it was tough to judge the market using BJ. I will say it again, there is no question the market is down and there is no question that there was not that great a docket of cars at BJ this year.

All you need to do is look at how many frickn trucks there were.....................think maybe they were struggling to get quality muscle car consignments?
