First I'll say I can only watch a few minutes of that auction at a time. Its almost like a circus that serves alcohol. Anyway, today I saw a customized and modernized 1969 Sportsroof Mustang sell for well over $100K, I think it was $120K. Even the interior was customized and fitted with modern seats, console, and most other interior parts. Then a couple of cars later, a concourse restored 1969 Boss 302 only sold for $60k. Okay it had a Hurst shifter and an MSD distributor. And later on when I turned it back on, a 1965 ( I think it was 1965) Shelby GT 350 only sold for $57k. Am I the only one that doesn't understand why a concourse restored 1969 Boss 302 or Shelby GT 350 would sell for so little compared the customized and modernized 1969 Sportsroof? Why such a low selling prices for original cars? Makes no sense to me.
That is partly why I cannot watch that auction for more than a few minutes at a time. It seems most (not all) people attending that auction are looking for something bright and shiny and don't truly appreciate classic cars.
