Offensive to sellers but have people gone over the cliff on Car values

30 grand for a new or rebuilt performance car is very reasonable (not that I can afford that!)

I suspect as the Mopar B and E market has heated up to a point where the average joe is priced out, the A bodies are starting to look pretty good.

More demand and less supply equals higher dollars.

Also most of us remember when gas cost $0.25 per gallon and a house cost $65,000 for a nice one. THINGS HAVE CHANGED!

Nope. I don't see it that way. Let's say that in 1970 you ended up with a 1970 LS6 Chevelle could be had off the lot of under 5K. That was a hot car and in those days would be compared to a Hellcat today which is what North of 60k brand new? The numbers don't lie. Market is out of control.

I agree that the B&E guys got muscled out lol and have dipped into the A Body stuff..... And that is part of the rise in cost.
