Driven Radio Show #342: Dave Kinney and Greg Ingold of Hagerty Price Guide

·1 hr 4 min·5 clips

Mecum Kissimmee sold $259 million worth of cars in just one day, more than Barrett-Jackson's entire Scottsdale sale.

The episode begins with hosts Brett Hatfield and Mark Groves, along with guest Goblin, discussing Mark's recent carburetor work on his Thunderbird. They then introduce guests Dave Kinney and Greg Ingold from the Hagerty Price Guide. The conversation focuses on the January auction results, particularly Mecum Kissimmee and Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. Mecum sold $420 million worth of cars, with $259 million on one Saturday alone, featuring six eight-figure cars including a Ferrari 250 GTO at $38.5 million and a yellow Enzo at $17.9 million. The hosts and guests analyze why certain cars, like those in 'fast food colors,' commanded high prices. They discuss market segmentation, noting that younger generations are interested in different cars, such as 1990s models, which is positive for the hobby's future. Greg Ingold shares insights from his article on cars taking losses, highlighting 1960s VW Type 2 buses which dropped 19% in value due to market saturation and restoration arbitrage. The episode covers Hagerty's indices, with the RAD index at an all-time high driven by generational shifts, while the overall Hagerty Market Rating is at a 15-year low of 58.2, indicating a flat market despite high-end auction activity. They explain that condition three and four cars are hard to sell, and restoration costs have risen significantly. The guests preview the Amelia Island events, including auctions by Gooding and Broad Arrow, and a charity golf tournament. Personal updates include Dave having three cars in restoration and Greg being space-limited. The episode concludes with contact information for the guests and hosts.
