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.
