Exactly.
* Off topic example: I was watching a Barrett Jackson auction a few months back on TV.
A black on black 1970 Chevelle SS came up. Built as a Pro-mod street car - the under chassis cam showed, fuel cell with braided lines, a four-link, SS exhaust, four wheel big disc brakes. It had a 502ci BB crate engine, after-market AC. The car was lowered with nice wheels on it - looked flawless top to bottom.
It was the first day, a Thursday I think. Hammed SOLD (no reserve!) at ....$39,600! That 502 crate motor is about $17k alone.
I was screaming at the TV...an unreal purchase for someone.
If it had rolled across on Saturday, that car could have gone to six figures. If the guy did all the work himself - I doubt he could have built that car for less that $60-70k.
Timing - and desire.
