It’s all relevant to what car you like and want. Who in the 60’s and early 70’s would have thought muscle cars would sell for what they do today. I would really like to have a 66’ Chevelle SS with a 396 or 427 or a 70’ Mustang with a 429, but I can’t afford them. So I have my yellow 95’ GT that I have owned since 97’. I have more than $12k just in the drivetrain. So why wouldn’t I expect it to be worth more than that to someone that likes that car?
Those people were just idiots. No. I am straight up going to say that. After the whole fuel crisis, no one wanted these cars. They werent even 10yo by then. Even in the 80s and 90s they were seen a POS. I mean, once they hit the 30 year mark, some became alright. But really, they were still seen as old cars, not classics. Cars of the 50s and older were classics.
Boomers be paying $100-500k for these things. That’s insane! I mean, they may actually have that much in the restoration, but it’s still stupid. Meanwhile, cars from the 80s and 90s are starting to go up because that’s all everyone else can afford, or see worth their investment. They aren’t special. It’s just a decent affordable vehicle, that are starting to become unaffordable.
But all the old farts are dying. If COVID19 don’t take them, something else will. And the economy is tanking. ...a lot of these muscle cars will go back on the market, and sell at an incredible loss because the people who want them, and have the money, weren’t even alive when they were built.
