I don't follow the market at all anymore but for $45 large you'd think that right door would look a lot better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I really hated that chassis. At the time it was what it was but looking back it was really miserable. I don't really have much appreciation for most of those old muscle cars. The cars today are just far superior in every way. I couldn't see spending the kind of money they go for when you could get 10x the quality in a newer car for the same money.

You're buying that modern performance car for a much different purpose than these people are buying classic muscle cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the track, yes. Most of these classic muscle cars will be lucky to see the street much less a track. Old muscle cars don't have to "perform". They did it already 40 years ago. Now they just have to look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High end exotics are skyrocketing in value right now. If you'd have been buying stuff like Enzos, F40's, F50's, McLaren F1's etc, some of them have seen their price go up 5x or more.
