Ray, I hate to see the dealers do this just as much as you. But I look at it 2 different ways. 1) If there weren't any classic car dealers out there, then a lot more of these cars would have never been restored because the potential audience of buyers would be too small to justify spending the time and money to restore a car properly. So having these dealers has helped the hobby and helped save a lot of cars. 2) If it isn't a dealer that jumps on a car and marks it up, it will be an enthusiast who sees a chance to make a quick buck. But we have to remember that the price only goes up because there are people willing to pay the higher price for a particular car. If none of us ever sold our cars, then prices would stay low!
