Just my opinion.
Do you think the cars of today are worth 50K?
And then to double that?
Auto workers and general public taking it in chin with wage and benefit cuts.

What was the cost of those darts and cudas in 68 realtive to the average smucks income.
Compare that to now and add the devaluation of the dollar.

Anyone know this number?

It appears that you have to spend about 6.5 times the money in 2010 to buy what you could get in 1968. If looking at a factory Hemi Cuda or Dart, you'll also have to factor in the labor costs to make the car safe, legal and competitive. So the 2010 Drag Pak cars will be a LOT more race ready than the '68 Hemi cars.

As for everyday cars. I also say they are overpriced. But that has a lot to do with government emission and safety regulations too.
