Any watching for Chargers at Mecum? (especially one)

[Ghoste]

Any of the Mecum followers know if there was a B5 blue 68 Hemi Charger there and did it sell?

[billfury]

WOW.I would love to see a picture of that.

[Ghoste]

I've posted pics of the car here before but I can't recall the thread.  It's a local car that was going down there to become someone else pride and joy.

I must have missed it. I'm sure I can find it.

First pics would have been around  May or June last year and then again sometime in the fall.

No, but I saw a QQ1 68 440 auto no vinyl with black interior go for what I believe was 60k.

Simple, people don't have the money to be throwing away on toys with todays economy being in the toilet.  Look at how much the prices of houses dropped?  At least there is hope that they might increase in value again.... not that Im going to give up my charger anytime soon.

Agreed. It was the housing money (artificial inflation) which raised many net worths in the 2000-2007 time frame. Then the bottom fell out.

It's all part of the normal business cycle, prices cannot go up forever, there is always a certain amount of retracement before the next leg up, in fact prices may actually end up higher in time then they were at the prior peak.    Now is the time to buy  the car you have been wanting, enjoy it and look forward to the appreciation that will come over the next several years.
