A-bodies over priced?

Supply-Demand, the invisible hand of the market at work. At time marches on, prices will obviously go up, if nothing else just due to the depreciation in the value of the dollar. Throw in some Barret-Jackson magic dust, the fact that they aint making any more of them, and the rise of sites like this that increases the visibility and thus the buyers pool for our beloved cars, and prices will go up.

FWIW, it will sell for what it is worth. That is, if the original car in question is worth $16k to a buyer interested in a rust free, low mileage original car, and he pays that amount, then that is what it is worth.

An item's value is worth what it sells for, not what the asking price is.

For me, the new Challenger is cool, sleek, and muscular, but it sure is not worth $35k, much less the ridiculous amount of $42k, plus $10k for "Avaialbility Premium". What a joke.

A Cuda in 71 that sold for $4200 would sell today for a little over $22,000 in time adjusted dollars. http://www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm While the new one is more advanced, and has more creature comforts, it sure aint worth that price - to me! However, Since buyers are paying it, then that's what it is worth!

An interesting note. Our local Dodge dealership has had an 08 Super Bee listed at $46k, on top of which they were asking a $5k premium. It did not sell, so they then dropped premium and priced it at sticker. There's no telling what will happen next. But there the Super Bee sits, because it is overpriced in my area, and no one will pay it. Thus, it's true value is a less than what they are asking.
