I guess it's all how you put things in perspective. When I see base model cars like a clean 307 camaro grab over $30k I just view a real muscle car like this 396 Chevelle (L34 or not) as a better bargain.
I think it's more crazy people pay $30k and up for a base model run of the mill car just because it's a 50 year old classic. So it doesn't make sense to me that the same people that go nuts over a clean 2 barrel nova or camaro feel that a real SS 396 Chevelle, a factory black car no less, shouldn't be more money.
I agree it's an eye opener, and 20 years ago I would have never thought I'd have to pay $50k for an SS L34 Chevelle. But it seems everything, even the stuff we'd consider cheap $5 or $10k cars with smog engines is now priced 3 times that, so it only seems natural the real muscle cars, even the L34 Chevelle that I'd consider a base muscle car for that model should also go up in price.
