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

This past Sat. wife and I had stopped in town ( stretching the imagination) for gas, the station is on the "highway". A guy had stopped there also, him in a 71 Cutlass 2 door BB car, solid, but a combination of peeled off blue over red that was over another color. Of course, I have to take a peek and I find he lives just 30 miles South. I mention what a cool car and so solid. He tells me he has a collection of Mopar and GM this and that cars, trucks, , he just had to buy it because it ran and drove, pretty straight, no rust really, and was not priced by some crazed idiot!!! He was off on his usual Sat. parts/cars hunting trek.
I agree I see way more interesting projects on FB Marketplace, CL has dried up seems like. Tx, is GM and truck country. There are cars scattered around, but they are usually hid!!!!
I remember back n Missouri n the 90's, ( after the first Mopar $ crash) I could ride all day and find good projects, decent drivers, all day long, and priced in general, darn fair. Just sitting out front by the road. I stop in to visit a Mopar bud and he had a list of guys he knew with good cars for sale, fair. OK so this was 20 odd years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
