Mecum Auction COPOs everywhere

Darren,

I'll take you up on your offer, but...

1. It must have chambered exhaust and 4:10's.
2. I get to drive.

* Edit: I don't mind setting lash, but I'm in the miniscule minority.

... Whoops, I meant 4.10:1's...

1964 through 1971 was the era for Musclecars. All the major domestic makers were in on the game and some incredible machines were built over those 8 years. Barret-Jackson, Mecum and others show how much interest there is in these cars today. Go to Barnes and Noble and look at the magazine rack. Musclecar magazines everywhere.

The "Supercars" of that era will be popular for a long, long time. Why? Because the boomers grew up with them, they weren't built in large quantities and their cooler than cool. When I drive the Hemi-Challenger through town, traffic stops. Shake, rattle and roll and all! Nothing else compares.

I think that there is a very slight market adjustment happening right now and it has more to do with affordability and what someone is comfortable driving value-wise than anything else. I've been working on a number of potential purchases over the past few weeks and every person is selling for the same reason..."the car is just worth too much now for me to feel comfortable driving it around". I've been to a bunch of cruise nights this summer and there have been some neat cars out there, but where are all the COPO's, LS6's, and other higher dollar cars that I used to see regularly??? All tucked away in their garages I'm afraid. For me, $75K or so is my comfort zone for a muscle car that I will drive and it is getting tough to find anything really neat at that price any longer. I believe that many others feel the same way as my experience has been that the higher production number hi-po cars above $75K take a lot longer to sell these days (LS6, L78, Z-28 etc.).

Hey now, I just logged 100 miles on my 1970 L78 beater on Sunday going to a car show. Looks like I pulled down 12.5 mpg too! Poor car didn't like getting stuck in traffic on the way home though.

I am71 years old and forteanite to own a1969 Yenko Camaro. No amount of money will buy this car. It is my living will to go to my son, and from him to my grand dauther. So I know that it will be in the familey for quite some time. So you see not all of us are in to this for the money. We also have 4 more 69 camaros, not for sale.

I want more rust! When is the last time you heard someone say that?
