Keeping in mind that auctions keep the pricing in flux is there a reference place or web site that would provide current or somewhat current market prices for vintage cars?

The best source I know of for just about anything having to do with vintage autos is [Hemmings.com](http://Hemmings.com) or the print version, “Hemmings Motor News.”
