No it's not. These are oddities in pricing whereby 2 people want the car, and the person who is willing to pissaway enough money gets the car.
Notice the assortment of vetts the other night? They were give away prices 30 to 45k. And some stinking @$$ nova/duce/chevelle/whatever t/f it was went for $145k. You can pick up identical cars all over the world for 25 to 30k.
Same for 6 cylinder cars converted to v8's. (These aren't 'custom' by a long shot, built identical to stock configurations.) All these more-butchered than my car sold for lots more than the n/m vetts.
The thing I love is the sfb guys who do the commentary: One was amazed that such a car would have drum brakes. IDIOT! All of these type cars had drum brakes back in the day. I had been a fgf owner for 18 or so years before I ever saw a fgf with disc brakes. One reason for the 'abundance' of disc brake cars is that they were less likely to go to the crusher during their lives, not because of an abundance of cars with d/b option.
The priceless one was this afternoon when I watched bj highlights while at home for lunch. The Idiot was standing at the front of a 400 '8 car, explaing that the 400 cars were the ones that had emblem delete on the bumper. If you want to fish around, it would have been a little after 1 est this afternoon.
Values aren't dropping; instead, they were grossly inflated by the fad, back when this board was created and 5 or so new pages of new posts were in each area.
Prices are still overinflated. Buyer's market myass! This is a seller's market, and time wil prove me to be correct.
But what would I know? I'm an idiot who paid $150 for a worthless pos, ending up with a vehicle with a grand total of $987 invested in it. (That included the 150 purchase price)
