I think the buyers are more educated now. We have the judging standards and these forums where ideas and pitfalls are shared. You can email a picture at an auction to a friend and get instant feedback. None of that was available to the buyer years ago.

The low priced cars are crappy old restorations and there are fewer and fewer original cars out there. Someday the only fodder for restoration will be fixing crappy restorations done 50 years ago.

Model a's are still the cheapest thing to restore.
