What happened to the reasonably priced project car?

all this is why i bought a modern mustang.. 14k for a 2008 gt with only 7400 miles on it.. still smells new inside.. awesome car.. still have the dart and probably won't sell that any time soon unless someone offers an amount we can't refuse.. i can say that the prices for mopars and their parts are quickly taking the fun out of the mopar hobby for me..
