I saw way too many cool, 50 year old plus, cars selling for 1/2 of what it cost to build one on latest tv auction.
But wait...A new 2021 Ford bronco sold for 60K
Auction prices should always be taken with a huge grain of salt. Many use the auctions to move cars with numbers issues.
But if prices drop overall, hurray! :cheers:
I'll be able to get more cars I want. :icon_smile_big:
Doesn't seem like they are falling to me when I see 72 large for this turd.

OK by me.
These cars being worth more does incentivize the aftermarket to make parts for them.
QuoteTHE prices are falling hard folks
This is good news. I have $150 saved up and I'm ready to buy another 69 Charger just like I did in 1979.

Ahhh.... the good ol days when the Dad/Mom/landlord or owner said "just take it, get it out of my yard, it's yours"

I did get several free cars, but never a free Charger..... dang it! I get eight Chargers in the $150-$600 range though.
I would STILL go up to $600 for a driver :icon_smile_cool:

I do remember getting a Charger for a 12 pack of beer way back when. :lol: Probably about $4 back then.

Did it have a wing on the back, if not you paid way too much. I was buying 68-69 Chargers for $100 back then. The wing cars they couldn't give away.

Hi Mopar Nut, 09 May 2022
There was a time, albeit brief, they were difficult to sell. We did sell a Hemi Cuda quite easily using a creative ad in 1975. Now we wish we had never sold it. The heat of passion: We despised that car.
From our perspective, the prices have been climbing.
The market seems volatile so one never knows.
The secret to success: Buy low, sell Hi. Got that bit of wisdom from a stock broker on a flight from somewhere to someplace about 50 or more years ago.
Just don't wait too long before buying what you want. You ain't going to take that $green$ with you when your time is up. Spend it on yourself so when you check out, your last check bounces.

Right on!
I had a 9 pass Belvedere wagon that did it with a 383...and water, girls instead of fat lump dudes, lol
:shruggy: Still looking for those "falling prices" :rotz:
It's been this way for a decade.
You sink 30K or so into a lesser desirable car and you are in the hole.
Come out even an a desirable car,
And ahead on a very desirable car.
And dumping a ton into a retro mod or clone has always been a losing prospect.
If people had spent 25K on a matching GTO and dumped 25K into, they often have a 50K car.
If they Spent 10K on a Lemans and dumped 25K into it, they have a 20K car.

I had my Chrysler Newport convertible out today and burned a 1/2 tank of gas just goofing around. No plans, No expectations, No problems. The car gets roughly 10-11 MPG which isn't great but the ride is so much fun. It's a gorgeous weekend here in SE Pa. Tonight is a cruise night nearby. I'll take a Lincoln LSC (12-14 MPG). Tomorrow is an all GM show about 30 minutes away. I'll take a 65 Impala. It gets about 14-16 MPG - not horrible for an American V8.
I'd far rather have a shorter ride in a cool car than a long ride in a boring car!!

I agree. I don't drive my classics as daily drivers. The higher cost of fuel sucks but these assholes are not going to stop me from using these cars to have fun.
