I'm also seeing "restorations" going low. '57 Convertibles for 100K and struggling to get there... and '57 T-birds struggling for 100K bids... mind you they're stock restorations but those used to be money cars.
I think in the last 10 years now -- we're seeing the AGING of the stock restoration crowd --- and the coming of age of the "give me a car I can drive and enjoy" crowd?

I think your right on the mark Greg. That crowd is getting older and combined with the parts available now, people are realizing how much more comfortable and fun it is to get in the thing and drive!
A long time customer of mine is a big numbers matching kind of guy(we did his 57 vette) and he just showed up a couple weeks ago with a extremely nice, numbers matching 57 Belair conv. He bought it for $70k, and I was thinking that car might have gone for double that a few years ago.
