Sox & Martins 71 Hemicuda Auctioned

I was watching the 2011 Mecum Auction last night, I believe on Speed channel. Ronnie Sox's 71 Hemicuda was up for auction and I was shocked that the bid did not go over $450,000. A few years ago that would have been easily over 1 Million. I don't believe it was sold . Grumpy Bill Jenkins 70 Camaro, "Grumpy's Toy" was also on auction and didn't go over $300,000 No Sale. I guess things are pretty tight for everyone. I thought both cars would have sold for sure. I know, by no means is $450,000 cheap, and I could never dream of bidding with those people but, wasn't there a 3 Million Dollar Hemicuda Convertible a few years back? To me Ronnie Sox's car is much more valuable and historical. What do you guys think?
