Damn the person who thought up Supply and Demand!

True, but there are still some good cars out there for reasonable money. Especially when you consider that, since we are going to cut, rearange, and otherwise modify the hell out of them, we don't need original blocks, big engine options, and rare factory options. An old lady six is just as good!
Beyond that, the trend that has brought the muscle car prices up has also enabled the production of so many reproduction parts as well as the production of all of the modified parts we love so much. If '69 Camaros were still selling for $500 in great shape, no one would want to spend $6000 on an aftermarket sub-frame! Thus, a lot of the companies and parts on which we love to dump our money wouldn't exist!
Just a thought.
