Hey,
I'm not argueing with you. I feel the same, but as time passes, I think the later year cars will get their due($$$). I would prefer a 70-71, but others might give up on that dream and buy what is available.

I feel that way also, so does Keith Martin, the guy who does "The Market" in the Autoweek magazine. He reviews cars sold at auctions (Barrette-Jackson, etc) and gives his opinion if the buyer got a decent deal on the car. He's said several times that the value of the more sought after cars (ie-'70-'71 E-bodies) will make the value of the "lesser" cars (ie-'72-'74 E-bodies) rise in value.
And very well put, loc8tor. If you want that E-body feel, the cars look similar and the later year cars can be had for less $$$ but can still be quite enjoyable. With mods (ie-enigine) they can perform just as well. Some of the later cars came with a few things that the earlier cars didn't, ie- standard Electronic Ignition, front disc brakes. But of course there were things the earlier cars had the later ones didn't, bigblock engines, convertibles, etc.... quite a trade off. Makes sense also what you said about the GTO's. Eventually, all the nice cars will get bought up. Hmmmm...maybe a restoration on a VW thing will be in our futures? Maybe a Yugo convertible?
True, Blown70, there are some people that may not put much into researching the car. Unfortunately that's why you have to do you homework, especially when someone is trying to pass off a "clone" of let's say a '70 Hemi 'Cuda as the genuine article. If they got a few million to burn then $40K won't bug them too much.
Agreed: That is a high price for this car but if someone willing to pay for it, I guess that's what helps to drive up the value of our E-bodies.
