I remember the days when these old cars were fun toys that took us back to the days we all enjoyed.We restored them,put them back together,drove the crap out of them, nobody cared about their value, we just loved the cars........ now they are just "investments".....stuck away in someone's temp controlled warehouse..............what a shame. It's just a "leap frog" kinda occurrence. Sure there weren't any "Everyday" Model-T's cruising the streets in the 40's. Nor 30's cars in the 70's. Now in the 2020's, it's the 60's 70's cars. Few more years it'll be the 80's 90's ones. Natural Progression I guess.

My son and I have had that discussion more than a few times. He has no interest in my Cuda and Mopar stuff. He grew up with the Neons. Particularly the SRTs. I tell him to come back in a few decades and tell me how they have appreciated in value. NOT! He still cringes when I tell him he is half the man I hoped he would be by being into 4 bangers rather than V8s.
Master, again and still

Well, people are ASKING a lot more than just a few years ago, but are they selling? Asking prices are stupidly inflated for the economic condition the country & world is in now. My opinion......

Yes, but is anyone buying?
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

I'd say it's a buyers market right now. Not if you're buying a 68-70 b-body or 70-74 e-body.

I'd say it's a buyers market right now. Not if you're buying a 68-70 b-body or 70-74 e-body. I disagree on that. The mopar cars are selling at pretty much the same price range at the last 8 years. When unique and hyped up cars are selling for top dollar, everyone assumes ALL the mopars are going up in price. No, not happening. Look over Meacum/Barrett auction results for the last few years and you can see that Mopar cars that are Muscle based with noting special don't make it into the big dollar sales. This is just hype in the market and nothing more.

I know the ask is even in the 50's, but these cars easily sell around 40K,

I know the ask is even in the 50's, but these cars easily sell around 40K, Since the other body styles have peaked and worth more than most people want to pay the A-body's have gained value. Then people realize that there are way cool A-Body's like M-Codes and 340 cars that were always big block killers, and they will continue to be desirable but still entry level...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
