It can be pretty complex.

You are not THAT far off base with the comment in red.

74-84 stuff of any make and model (with exceptions) is not pulling great numbers due to styling sometimes being a bit funky and factory performance being not so great.

But it's older, and easy to work on. So all of the sudden that 185hp Camaro can be a 450hp Camaro in a weekend for not that much money. Probably less than the price of a rear in a 4th gen.
