Default Mecum Auction

Did anybody else watch the Mecum Auction earlier today? I was surprised at what some of the LT cars brought. Maybe this is a good thing and maybe our cars will start to be worth a little more. Just found it interesting.

Yup, the 94' TA (red) with mods was nice and was hoping it would go a bit higher as it sold for 7500. Unfortunately, our cars don't get much respect as when several of them were coming to the block they would go to commentary or a commercial and you could tell they were coming up as they would be next in line. Kinda sux, but they will get better with time.

Funny thing is when you look at production numbers our 4th gens are usually lower than the cars from back in the old days.

I think they made almost as many if not more 1st gen camaros they were pumping out 200k+ a year.

I was a 1994 with 1200 yes 1200 not a typo go sell for 12000 at auction the original sticker said something like 22000 talk about taking a hit especially when you factor in inflation.

I think the older cars had higher production numbers because people had less choice in brands
