I'm no expert, but as a long-term musclecar owner and enthusiast, it seems to me that the bar on price for these cars continues to get raised. And when the really "hot" stuff like Yenkos, COPOs and Hemis got expensive, more "pedestrian" muscle started to get more costly. Just go looking for a 350 model late 60's or early 70's GM A-body and you will see what I mean. These cars seem a lot like real estate. They may have their ups and downs, but for the most part the long term trend is UP. It's both good and bad for the hobby; good if you already own something as you are unlikely to lose you shirt on it, but bad if you are trying to get "in". Now stuff like late 70's Camaros and Firebirds are rising in price in response to the trends. Buy early and often, I say.
