So are you telling all your customers that your cars are overpriced and they should not buy them.

The reason the average Z28 is 50K and up is because the rare stuff has pulled them up. If the markets take a stumble the average high production cars will fall the most and the rare stuff will be ok, IMO. Also people that can only afford the high production cars are not stupid all of the sudden, they probably realize that its stupid money to spend big bucks for a high production car just because of the market being pulled up by the rare stuff. In the end they still view it as average everybody has one car but at a high price.

I think the reason cars like 69 Z/28's are selling for 50K is due to the shortage of decent ones. If you cant find a nice one then you have to find one that needs restoration and then your going to pay 25K for a car and dump 30-50K to get it back to nice condition so you over that 50K mark right off the bat. I think the prices will continue to go up and are being dictated by the cost of parts and restoration costs. One day someone will get smart and set up a sort of production line to save labor costs on restorations and also manufacture exact spec parts and sheet metal and hopefully sell it for half NOS prices, then, and only then will prices come down. Basically if you could find a beater for 10k and have it restored for 10k then you have a new 20K car. Then the others will drop due to supply and demand. I believe the safe market is the rare cars like the big block chevys and Hemis. As for Z/28's, hard to believe 50k on up for such a high production car.
