I'm surprised to hear you say that. People that were kids when those late 70's cars came out are in their late 40's early 50's now and now have the money are buying the cars of their dreams. I don't see any difference in those cars as to people paying 300k for a yenko or Hemi or what we liked when we were kids. No car is WORTH that money. It's what your willing to pay to make you happy. A long time ago a guy I met told me you can never spend too much on a good car, your just buying a little early. Take that for what it's worth.

I agree to some degree but those TA's were built in quantity and lacked performance. Also the examples sold are an anomaly those prices are even close to the norm.!
