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.

All good points...but when I was younger (and poorer) you could get a solid 69 Camaro than ran perfectly for 5 grand--and they were plentiful. I did a search through Recycler yesterday for a 250 mile radius for a 69 Camaro and 1 car came up. Guess I'm just bitter because I'm trying to find a car right now.
