396: Inside Today's Collector Car Market with Dave Kinney

In this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with noted appraiser and Hagerty Price Guide founder Dave Kinney to unpack what's really happening in today's collector car market. We dig into the latest valuation trends across classics, muscle cars, modern exotics, and emerging "next-gen" collectibles—and why some segments are softening while others are catching fire. Dave and I talk about how interest rates, global events, and shifting demographics are shaping prices, plus the surprising rise of younger enthusiasts chasing everything from JDM icons to early Brass Era cars. We also discuss where auction results align (or don't) with private sale realities, how to read past the headlines, and what smart buyers and sellers should be paying attention to right now. Whether you're managing a serious collection, thinking about selling a car, or just trying to understand where the market is headed, this conversation with Dave offers grounded, data-driven insight you can actually use the next time you're browsing listings—or raising your hand at an auction. #CollectorCarMarket #DaveKinney #Hagerty #CarValues #ClassicCars #MarketTrends #CollectorCars #MuscleCars #ModernExotics #JDM #NextGenCollectibles #CarPodcast #AutomotivePodcast #CarInvesting #AuctionMarket #TheCollectorCarPodcast Do you need help buying or selling your collector car?  Contact Greg directly at [email protected] or [email protected].
