Also modern things do not do well at Mecom. Suspect there was a peak in the early 2000's but with 400 hp (net, not gross) in Jeeps and 700hp in street cars (with AC and Bluetooth) the market has changed.


Result: Hemis are of interest mainly to collectors (who probably already have one) and not drivers. After all most were really 4,000lb B bodies with big engines. Yes there were pony cars with big engines (e.g. hemi-'cudas) but the problem there was getting the power to the ground and often took major mods.


So the market is fragmenting at the same time that modern iron (or AL) is clearly superior to old school (why restomods are popular).


Exceptional cars with provenance always sell but the rest will be left wondering what happened. (/pont)
