The interest group for these cars is so narrow that public auctions are less likely to put together a car and a prospective buyer ... the consequence is a low price if the seller wants the car gone. Working potential connections and patience are likely to produce the best price but in the current environment, I suspect we are in a real price trough ... as Steve says, prices may climb as/when the unique character vs an anodyne box becomes attractive to a new potential owner set. In the meantime, let's relish the fun we can have as owners/drivers!!
