I feel we've all felt the price increase was severely overdue. (Okay, I'm a very longtime fan, so I've been wrong for eons)
When you compare style, power, usability, production numbers, the 'normal' Pantera (not modded, not GT5, etc) is still a good value, even at the recently inflated prices.
The low mile blue and red car were both good values since they're pretty hard to replace, but you're hardly going to drive it and devalue it every mile
Not familiar with how Mecum charges, but assuming a 10% to the sellers to, so 'only' about $103k realized by blue car, and $95k by the red car.
I feel the Pantera is certainly due the attention and the values.
