Are prices way down on classic muscle right now?

I have witnessed the value of muscle cars over the years fluctuating from the mid-eighties when great cars where abundant and could be had for extremely reasonable prices. They were little more than discarded used cars. My first car was a 69 Charger I bought in nice shape for $1300.00. Cudas and Challengers were always one of the most desirable but I came across them for anywhere from $1,500 on up. A-bodys were everywhere and were DIRT cheap. I remember a nice 68 Hemi coronet for sale by its original owner for $7500 and thought he was crazy!! And he never sold it. I talked to him a few years ago and he said at that time if someone would of offered him $5000 at that time he would of sold it. He also told me in the 70's he tried selling it for $3500 with no luck. Later in the late 90's he was offered $40,000. As far as I know he still has it.
The last 10 years the values have came down and will never see the exaggerated values anymore, but hopefully will continue to be enough interest in the hobby to keep people restoring, fixing up these cars.
To most of the younger generation these cars are dinosaurs and they don't have the sentimental value to them as the cars do to people like myself. I raised two boys and they were always around musclecars and they do appreciate them but their idea of performance is different than mine.
I myself am enjoying the decline in value making it easier for me to enjoy my hobby and let the yuppys spend there money else where.
