The whole idea of selling a highly modified Pro-touring at auction is surely a questionable deal.. Outside of certain custom builders that bring a providence to the build immediately, the average person selling one of these cars in that format is setting himself up for failure... The auction houses make their money moving the maximum amount of nice cars through the block and can't take the time to really describe and as been stated educate the consumer on what they are buying...

It would appear the market is settled into the 30-45 range, the 55-75 range and the boutique truly custom build group that varies dramatically... Like all other forms of cars sales the market becomes small as you grow the costs. We all fall in love with the high end stuff because face it we're car buffs or we wouldn't be reading this..

As far as augmenting revenues, tough call and certainly on a car by bassis to say the least... I feel there is a possible new area that may offer opportunity and that is selling rollers that require the new owner to select the rims, and having them deal with basic interior install and pre-thought out wiring options (ie an American auto wire setup with pre anticipated Auto Meter gauges.. pick your own style from their offering but the harness and gauges are basically plug and play).. This will allow buyers the ability to stagger their spending, do some of the labor and end up with a nice car to their taste in the end...
