Billy good point ! Yes we too ordered Rally wheel centers and Chevelle exh tips by the dozens, it was more a situation where GM set the price and then forgot to make adjustment for the USD CAD currency changes. In 2002 if you swapped $100K into Canadian dollars and held them until today you would get back almost $140,000. (A tip of the hat to our friends up north!)
http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/co...amt=1&t=5y The reality is that muscle cars and real estate aren't really going up in "value", your dollar is worth less, and it takes more to buy everything. This is why a lot of wealthy investors buy expensive classic cars, precious metals , and real estate, because if they sit on cash it loses value just sitting in a CD. Oh the days of $28 rally wheel center caps, now they are over $100 list at GM ....yikes!
