It appears to me that some of the custom cars that have sold ($80k) are probably very good deals. If I owned a Z-28 or 66 Chevelle with less that 12k miles I'm not sure what kind of money I would expect for it, but I probably would not sell it anyway. If I had a lot of extra cash to invest in a toy I would be there bidding too, but I don't so I'm just watching TV.
