Yes they are selling.
I think the disconnect in price understanding is in identifying the #1 ,2,3 that Hagerty uses.
In simple terms a #1 car is new or restored car that is indistinguishable from a new car.
I have never seen a #1 car.
A #2 car would look like a well taking care of new car with low miles on it.
I have only seen a few of these and they sell for Hagerty numbers for #2 cars, There is a few listed on the 'Notable sells thread'
#3 car Might have an aftermarket stereo or steering wheel and most people think it is perfect.
This is a local show car winner.
#4 car is what I see at car shows, most of us have #4 cars that we drive regularly with a few tasteful mods. and decent but not perfect paint or interior. I have never seen better than a #4 car on a club drive or tour.
#5 cars is the one that is getting repaired and worked on in someones garage but there is enough parts to make a complete car.
The Hagerty price guide makes more sense if honest appraisals of cars are used.
