Is it me or are even the top dog hemis feeling a market slowdown?

$200k for a mint hemi challenger ..4speed..matching...200?? this car was 300+ last yr here..easy...

$260 for a 27K mile all matching hemi cuda 4speed in concours cond?

Thats low ball city...Last year that car is 350+ if its a buck.

this is inflata-price Barret-JAXON to boot!

one of 16 1969 GTX hemi convert went for 200K too. It was cool seeeing Craig Jackson sweat and say 'its a buy' etc etc. Nope didnt work!

Now the 1000000 dolar q is...is it people have tired of the USUAL top shelf drink and are now lookign for another single malt scotch or (RA IV pontiacs Stage 1 Buikcs?)...or is the market simply slowing?

BJ was saying in some cirlces that the orange 70 Hemi with 76 miles was 'a million dollar car'. Well its 1/2 of one anyway! (sold today for 500k)

One last comment...The only real top dogg car owners that sell at barrett are vette owners and guys with the hemis since (up til now) those crs have had very firm floors. (Seems like those two groups have taken up 50% of all cars today!) A RA IV Pontiac would not have that luxury in a no-reserve marketplace like BJ.

That may be part of another factor...OTHER reserve venues in AZ (russo and steel etc) may infact do much better than BJ since reserves are allowed? Wag on my part. If the numbers from non BJ AZ auctions are down like I saw on BJ today/so far, then I for one would be somewhat convinced the market is taking a temporary(?) breather ala the national housing market has been/is doing. If thats the case not sure where we go from here. Might not be such a bad thing for the market to level off some at these already lofty levels...

Thoughts on all this?
