So why didn't these cars do what the auction house thought they would do ?

They were all three way under the money. I wouldn't sell my black z for less than $120k, and it can't hold a candle to one of Mark's unrestored survivors.

Maybe the word is out that Mecum does not vet the cars and BJ does vet them. That COULD lead to a conclusion that only the BJ cars can be trusted. Still, one would think Mark's cars would speak for themselves.

Gotta say i was quite surprised to see some of the prices.

There were good offers for those cars before they decided to go the auction route. One car had an offer north of 200k, but the family decided to roll the dice. In fact, there was at least one fantastic offer for everything. Mecum is the premier musclecar auction, and had great results in Kissimmee. Most cars are inspected at the event by hired experts.
