Buying and Selling in this Economy

I recently went to a Mecom auction. I was surprised how many modified cars were in the queue for the block. Most "correct" restorations of muscle cars were making reserve. "Restified cars" that were established classics, like a 56 Nomad, made reserve. A 55 Chebby 210 converted to Belair and chromed out the wazzoo were not making it. The one cloned hemi car and the one with a "new" hemi did not make reserve. It seems that as the economy slides into the tank, the toys are being sold off.
