I get caught in the whole frame of reference thing too. I still don’t get what makes a hemi chrylser or shelby mustang worth 250,000+ but then again those are not the circles I travel in. I like cars I can drive, not museum pieces.

If I had the money, which I do not lol, I’d rather pay $125k for a killer pro-touring built 1st gen I can drive the wheels off of over a $125k nut & bolt restore I’m afraid to push into the daylight. But that is just me. Oh and that is the $$ trend too, judging by cars I’ve seen sold in the past 6-12 months. Tasteful, bad ass, high quality pro-touring 1st gens are going up daily as some people like to buy top shelf drivers. But that is another topic.

Another example, it looks like Steve sold his Monte SS in the $9000 range. But I got told no way, that can’t happen. But WTF do I know?

Just in the past few years are we really just seeing the 2nd gens coming out of the woodwork now. Especially the 74-81s. That is part of the cycle. 3rd gens are very slowly coming out too. I suspect it will be a few years before the increase begins to be noticeable.
