The market trends you feature above are hard to fathom in many ways but there is no single factor that makes these auction results sensible, IMO. I think these are the contributing factors: 1. Cars and trucks like the ones pictured are no longer being made period 2. These cars stand out among a world of jelly bean, or white and gray SUV's. 3. Even at these crazy prices, they still cost less than an equivalent new one. (Such as the 41 K Tahoe that new would be touching the 75K mark new). 4. General distaste for everything needing a TV screen to operate, all having nanny controls, start/stop features and other annoying features. 5. Nostalgia is always a factor 6. Lack of manual transmission new cars in the case of the sports cars 7. Fear of being forced into electric vehicles I am sure there are many more I missed.
