Are prices way down on classic muscle right now?

And my 2 cents. I bought whole cars for 50 to 100 in the late 80s and early 90s with my brother. Most of them running but needing something. An absolute heap of rust and nastiness that I will have to disinfect myself after touching and folks are asking $3500. Yeah inflation, but also a really misguided public on what has value. I have driven every car I have ever owned like I stole it and I will continue to do that...that is where it is fun. Politicians just took part of my military retirement, economy is beyond bad. Just be real careful about buying a polished turd as was mentioned above. A lot of places trying to slap a $2k paint job on a car and turning it. I saw a car a kid bought from someone in NC that he owned less than 1 year and was bubbling at every corner and every window. He paid over $6k and the car might have been worth $2500. Not running and he had no money to fix, a baby on the way, I just could not give him what he needed. The car will rot in place. I am a buyer, but being real choosy after working on my 74. There is a pile of cash in that car that I will never see back....but blowing past a car going fast enough to make me nervous and doing smokey burnouts til I choke is why I do it!
