I'm on board w/Mark. I buy & sell more of these than anyone on earth. Initially I mentioned to the owner two months prior auction, the car will retail around 200k (+ or - 10%) independent of condition/restoration/upgrades. He didn't want to hear it. From fine art to antique firearms & the collector car market, it's always been a seesaw. The 5S is soft right now. You can now buy TWO L88's for what ONE used to cost. Get used to it everyone, it's the nature of collectibles. If I can sell a chrome bumper mid 140's on stage, add 30% & what do you get? A 5 Steel.
