Sheehan nailed this market cycle!

I think there is always a market for quality in all its forms. Of course people need to be able to find that quality, so it definitely helps if a model is either iconic, sexy or well-known, preferably all of that. If a brand or model still exists today that really helps too. It explains why Mustangs or VW vans are worth more than their rivals of the time despite production numbers, speed, comfort etc. Why classic BMWs and Mercedes cars are generally worth more than Borgwards etc.

 

all the 308/328/348/355 cars sold with pretty good results. None of the BB's met reserve nor the 2 new cars.

 

That black 330 is one pretty car!

 

330gt was beautiful... tempted me but it wasnt original color

 

Just curious, why does changing the color matter, if you like the new color?

 

Timmmmmmmmmmy, I think you are right.

 

Unless the repaint is done *really right*, as in car completely disassembled, it always shows somewhere. It often isn't done right, so people shy away from repaints more than originals.
And: beauty is skin deep. It is a bit of a shame that if you have a paint chip in your blue paint, the original red shows.

 

Holy cow. You got every single "m"!

Color me impressed.

 

Well shucks, now I need to change the arbitrary number of mmmm's. I get the whole, entire point that most people desire the cars they knew as children/ teens and I get that but you know my favourite cars were built in the 1930s and 1950s/1960s and I was born after both of those eras, but if I have the expendable wealth that is what I would buy. I believe new players in the market go for what they know and eventually expand their collection from there.

 

308s and 328s fetched strong money, the rest is off.
