It's the builders. It's only a few vehicles of this make and model that get the big money. At the auction there are several tents where you can look at the price of vehicles already sold. These are the stark reality tents of about what you would get for your vehicle.

No alcohol involved. I suppose there's an outlier or two. But for the most part these collectors are serious people with serious money. Neither drunk nor stupid. Nobody with a brain scoffs at $400k, but for some of these guys it doesn't come close to putting a dent in their wallet or collection budget. When they lay down the big bucks they want to know who what and how on the build.

The auction is fun, and the event has a good energy. I think it's kind of neat that the make and model vehicles we all enjoy are getting attention and bringing good bucks for quality builds. It makes me happy to see a good shop make some good return on their efforts.

My two cents, worth the price paid... a bit shy of $400k though!
