The true big ticket buyers are waiting for the cream of the crop to bid on this afternoon and this evening. The rest, well, you already saw it, prices are down, but then for some of the muscle cars, the quality was not there either. Wrong engines, color changes, driver class detailing, and that had a trickle down effect on the really nice muscle cars as well.

Restomods, hot rods, and such are up 35-50% this year and seem to be what the buyers were looking for. May point to a fundamental shift it buyer ages and mentality, as the guys from the 60 and early 70's who wanted to relive their youth give way to more of the guys/gals from the late 70's and early 80's who now want to do the same. I even saw a few 18-22 year olds (two 12 and 15 year olds) with their own unique bidder badges, and who knows what they are after, or what their mindset is.
