The hottest cars on the market are almost always the ones that the current middle-aged folks drove in high school. So yeah, makes sense that the late seventies/early eighties cars are hot right now, because people that went to high school in the late eighties/early nineties drove that stuff and that’s who’s middle aged and has some money. The 78/79 bandit cars and the fox body mustangs are sky high still too.
Those auctions are for the people that have more money than they know what to do with. Bad thing about an auction is that you can't test drive or inspect the vehicle.
Uh, you can absolutely inspect the vehicles. They're at the auction days in advance and can be inspected in the lead up to them crossing the blocks. I meant you can’t do compression checks on them or anything but you can definitely inspect them.
