Overall Trend: Prices have increased in the past year. Cars are selling well, however the supply of available vehicles has been lower than expected.
Prices reviewed as of October 2024.
Many people use the big auctions as indicators on how strong the car market will be. Auction prices typically run higher than market prices. You can not use auction prices as a guide without knowing a lot about the cars being sold.
I subscribe to the theory there is a relationship between each of these models. On average big block cars will sell for more than the small blocks and convertibles will sell for more than fastbacks. The number of cars for sale has remained steady.
I am not sure why, but I decided to start a list of the highest selling 1968s. These are the cars I have knowledge of, if you know of any cars that have sold for a higher price, please let me know. One thing is for sure, there is no logical reason a few of these cars are on the list :-)
