Firebird & Trans Am Auction Prices These are some pretty nice auction prices from the recent Leake Oklahoma City auction (obtained from the March 27, 2008 issue of Old Cars Weekly):
Pretty decent money for cars that are all drivers, except the #1 condition car of course. These examples are 30-40 year old cars and some of our LS1 cars are already at the 10 year mark. We still have a serious 'down' time ahead of us for prices but if you love your car and want to hang on to it, there is reason to hope that your own car will bring these types of prices one day, even in unrestored #3 condition. No one can predict the future but with the decent horsepower in our cars, the possible demise or very low production of future V8's, and the high attrition rate as well, I would say our cars are keepers provided they are kept at least in good condition.
