Julian,

Interesting. 

Places like Gooding and Bonhams cater to a high-end crowd and are the best venues for a good, original, stock or stock-ish De Tomaso. 

BJ, Mecum, Russo & Steele etc cater more towards the knuckle-dragger hot-rod set, and would be a better venue for the modified cars. 

I think the people who consigned good stock cars to those latter outfits likely made a big mistake. Perhaps so big that a wise man flush with cash could get a screaming deal in Scottsdale in January and make a hefty profit in Monterey in August, selling in a more appropriate venue.

   Mike,

   AS much as we all hate to hear it, perhaps it is nothing to do with the
   color, but a softening market for our cars?

   By example the Embo bodied 9000 series '79 GTS that has been on eBay
   has had a maximum bid of $82K over a number of repeat listings. It's a
   collectible car with all the Euro traits and 10" wheels etc.

   It's Scottsdale auction this coming  week, that may be an interesting
   watermark to see where prices really are;

   Barrett-Jackson has five Pantera's on the docket;

   $300-400K

   Hi guys,
   A sub-9k mile USA GTS sold today at Mecum for $105k, well under
   $125-150k estimate. Amazingly somebody made the decision to repaint it
   resale red which probably explains it. Had it been original color it
   probably would have been closer to $125k, and if it had been the
   original paint, in good shape, closer to $150k....
   Lot S224....
