It would be nice for some of these cars to get some recognition, that body style survived the smog era and towards the end paved the way for bigger and better things. I know some of you 4thgen snobs don't want to admit it(lol) but it's true.

you don't see/know those buyers like I don't know the 69 Camaro buyers, but they are out there.
and don’t misunderstand what I am saying. I keep saying nice & clean. Interior is A-/B+ or better, no seat rips, everything works, nothing is hacked. Paint is A-/B+ or better, no rust, everything is there and clean. It’s hard to imagine any 3rd gens still exist as we all see them as ratty used cars owned by the likes of bubba. Hacks & mods are important to any collector car – hacks kill value and modifications can be a double edged sword. You gotta get by all that, those days are diminishing fast. These cars are being restored, and ones that were owned by older guys as Sunday cars and so forth are coming out of the garages too.
For example, Hardcore Paul’s IROC is likely a $10k+ car if marketed correctly.
