Re: Inflation vs. Musclecar prices
The one big thing I have seen over the last several years is the high quality, no expense spared restorations are still holding their own. Not making huge profits when sold but at the very least breaking even.
On the flip side, all the 'auction cars' that were quote/unquote "restored" for the sole pupose of giving the owner the biggest bang for their buck are not bringing very good money at all. I have seen many cars over the last 5 years that were ruined in the interest of making the most profit across the block and now those owners are sitting on some cars that are worth nothing close to what they paid while the true collectors who had cars restored to perfection have at least not gone backwards and many are worth more than they invested. I have always said you get what you pay for and this has never been more true.
