Are prices way down on classic muscle right now?

I bought my 73 Cuda 340 4 spd, numbers matching for $1250.00 in 1985.I got a deal, because it might have been worth 2K at the time.It was in super nice shape.
1 Year later I was at the mopar drags in fremont Calif. when I saw a 71 hemi 4spd Cuda all restored for sale for 8K. I had the money at the time, and figured I would spend that much on my 73. But I just couldn't get behind the bronze with white interior, so I passed.
A few years later they went to 75K, and a few more years 5 times that.I often thought about that car, and what I passed up, but then I realized I wouldn't have had as much fun as I have with my 73.I have drag raced it with a transbrake and different motor,
I 've raced it at at least 10 different tracks,then put it back to stock with just a few mods like a 6 pack.I've driven it way up into Canada to a show, and up to Tahoe when I lived in California. I even thought about driving it on a long road trip like to back east.I watched it go to like 50K in value, to now what it may be worth 25-30K.I drive it anywhere,park it anywhere, only have a total of about 5K in it, including the 1 re-paint 25 years ago that still looks good.Original non cracked dash etc.
When I think about that Hemi Cuda, I only think about how I wouldn't have ever driven it, let alone raced it. I would have struggled through the years thinking I should have sold it because of it's value, or then again thinking I should have kept it, only because it would be worth more.All the time worring about someone stealing it.
What I am saying is,I enjoy my Cuda not for what it is worth, because I like it, love driving it, and yet I don't have to worry about it.Don't have to think about what it's value will be tommorow.
I guess I am just a dieheart Mopar guy, and the longer I keep it, the more good memeories I have with the car.
Like the guy from Oz said,I would have spent more on beer then that over the last 30 years, and if it burns to the ground tommorow, I will be sad, but not because of the money I lost, because of the memories.
