Why are there so many Superbirds for sale?

[blown motor]

Mecum auction coming up in Kissimmee has 8 Superbirds for sale. Why so many?

Select Kissimmee, etc., etc. and they all pop up. Sorry, I couldn't get it to show the way I wanted to.

My guess is owners have seen the going prices and feel it's the right time to exit for them.

Things seem to go in waves.  I remember being at an auction one year and seeing lots of Hemi Cudas.  Then several years at the same auction and maybe one or two of them each time.  When you put your car up for sale at a big auction you don't know who else is going to be there or what they are going to sell.  It looks like a good thing if you are in the market for a Superbird.  Should be a few to choose from.

In the market for a Superbird?          Only two weeks left to win the lottery.

Which raises the question that if I could afford one, would I buy one? I'm really not sure. In one way they are a cool car but in another way they're a bit of an oddity. Also, there are so many other cool cars to be had. I guess it depends on how big the lottery win is.

I've seen the same Superbirds which used to ask 200k before are now in the 120-140 range.

I think folks are trying to get out of their ultra expensive investments before a potential economic hardship.

AND, there's the ever increasing cost to restore one with the added fact that the pool of potential buyers, while never deep, is getting even more shallow as people who want these cars age out. There'll likely be a market for these cars amongst guys who actually love/drive them, as opposed to the investment-banker types to whom they're just a 4 wheeled RRSP. When the ROI drops off, they're gone.

they don't fit in your standard garage.

Also, they are pretty bizarre looking. And people that remember them are nearing 70 yrs old.
Can't see the younger generation buying one.
Remember seeing an orange one coming down the street in 1970 in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
Honestly, I thought it was ugly.
Many dealers had to put the wings and front noses in the dumpsters, to sell them.

When I was growing up, there was a park down the street from my house, and there were softball leagues that played at the ballfields at the park.  I remember one Sunday afternoon, there was a yellow Superbird parked a few doors down from my house that a softball player must have owned.
My dad was napping on the couch and I woke him up to drag him out to the street to see that car.
All in all though, those cars are sort of novelties.  They weren't practical to drive as a daily driver then. And now they are cool, but I don't see that I'd want to drive one very much if I owned one.
I wonder if people buy them now and the thrill wears off not long after they buy it?

when people are paying $100,000 plus for a car, its usually
as an investment, because they got a lot money and need something
to do with it.

went to a Mopar show in the mid 80's, outside Portland Or, and there were about 5
Hemi Cudas there, and 3 or 4 were for sale, all for around $55,000.
