Can  anyone shed some light on why the '55 c300 went for less than
$30,000 at  auction today? I am totally baffled and worried about the
value of my  c300.



I saw it Thursday night but didn't inspect it very closely. It looked like  a 
decent car; if I make it back tomorrow I'll take a closer look. My general  
impression during the 4 hours I was there was that there were some bargains to  
be had on some very nice "driver" cars with minor modifications and although 
the  numbers matching muscle cars held their values better prices were still 
way  down. 
 
If you've never been to B-J you can't believe what you always see on TV.  
while there are some very , very well done cars there's also a lot of scary  
junk. Cars often touted as "frame-off" restorations are simply spray-bombed  black 
or undercoated underneath.
 
My .02 . . . don't "worry" about the value of your 300 ; it's a car, insure  
the heck out of it, love it and drive it while gas is relatively cheap. If you 
 really need to worry about something I'd suggest the state of our economy, 
our  politicians, or world terrorism. Take your pick.
