No, even the Mopars were way down compared to last year. The Hemi Cuda with 78 miles sold for around $1 million last year and it only brought $500K this year! Ouch! Too much bs going on behind the scenes and I think a lot of the buyers know it now. There's a lot of bogus paperwork and restamps in the GM cars so that hurts their value. Yenkos and COPOs were bringing $25-300K last year and now they only bring $150-180K. That's a big difference and almost all the Yenkos are know VINs so there's no good reason for the drop in price unless the quality of the cars is way down. But in the end, you can't use auctions as a gauge for prices. Every auction seems to allow the owner to bid on his own car so that creates bogus perceived value. I heard that most of the Vettes that went across were not #'s matching so that explains the lower prices on them. I love both my old Camaros and this makes me more tempted just to keep them since I know what they truly are.
