The good and bad of prices

[1970Moparmann]

Wow, if someone is in the market for a project, there sure are a ton out for sale!  Check out Moparts..... Check Craigslist......  Ebay, here and there with deals....  I'm sinking too much money in my 68 project, and have another one in storage waiting, but just found a good 69 Charger by my house for $5k!  Looking on Moparts just now, I found at least 10 very reasonable cars.  69 Charger RT with a ton of options in Milwaukee for $6k.  Man, I remember searching for my first Charger back in 1989 and found a 70 RT for $10k.  I guess it's good and bad.  The good part is prices are realistic for people getting into muscle cars and restoration projects.  Bad news for those that are seeing everything in their lives sinking in value.......

I think as obamas new bills go in effect our cars will skyrocket in value.  Sad part is it's easier for people to buy these old cars just so they can rot in their yard and the owner can say they own one.

Buying the car is the cheap part. Restoring the car is the expensive part even if you are doing the job yourself. This is especially true for us north of the border! It is still difficult to resist the temptation though!

Are you kidding? You think obama's plans will effect the value of these cars in a positive light? Hmmm.

Maybe we should ask Obama to put more recoverable light crude oil in the earth for us.  That sounds much better than raising the CAFE rules to try to hold pump prices down.

That is very true.  I would suggest you get the car as finished as you can possibly afford, I have refurbished, I would not call it restored they are all very nice drivers.  I doubt I could get out of any of them what I have in them, I could probably get close with the vert Challenger but who knows   Even at this years BJ auction many cars went for much less than the cost of restoration

I just want a good driver 68/69 with no rust. I keep finding just projects or RT's and I don't have the time to learn to put a car together! I just want a simple, small block 2nd gen dammit haha.
