mopar prices on the rise??

[black69]

I now have to wonder, with the recent blue cuda convert selling well, are people realizing mopars are finally coming up out of the slump they were in? I have an old 71 cuda ad, stuck on cuda world (since 2012), and the calls I have been getting on that old ad, have increased significantly in the past months. I had my friend that sold me my 70 cuda convert project this past winter, tells me he has a buyer for way more money that what I paid for it (and he regrets he sold it in the first place). And now, if that's not enough of a sign, I have a very rich 'farmer' interested in prying my 67 hemi gtx out of my hands. I have been saying NO, thinking the trend will be prices are going up, not down on this stuff.

I think people are wising up, and prices should be going up some on the nice stuff.

Anyone agree? Or seeing the same? No doubt, 4 spds seem to be bringing hefty premiums.

I Hope your right as I am thinking about selling my 1970 Challenger R/T S.E. 440 4BBL four speed with Dana soon. Maybe this is the right time to do it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] but it is a hard car to put a price on when only 142 of these were made brand new as a 4 speed.

I was/am in the same boat. I was going to sell my 70 440 4spd mr norms challenger survivor, very similar in drive line to your car, not as rare, but I think less that 900 or 600 made. We both have the Dana! As soon as I let it go, prices will go up.

Mega-buck cars have always maintained their values. This car sold for a similar amount a few years ago, and if the current auction is any indication, the market suggests this car's demand is relatively inelastic through several economic conditions.

I think a better barometer would be cars that are more core to the hobby that sell for under six figures.

I think a good sign to me, is a orange/red 69 charger 500 hemi 4spd sold at mecum for around $290K. And a black 71 sixpack charger sold for $90K. As example, I dont see similar examples like that selling at those prices say a yr ago.

If the high end mopars continue to go up, it wont take that long for it to pull up all the other mid level mopars (which happened yrs ago).

The problem is that today there a lot more restored mid level Mopars than there were years ago. During the 2000's people were restoring every rotted out POS 383 Road Runner they could get their hands on, cars that would have barely qualified as parts donors in the 90's.

And now, while fast forwarding through my pre-recorded mecum harrisburg footage, I see a 70 hemi coronet hardtop in green, go for $300K!!!!!!!!!!

I know the car is rare, but would have figured something lower than that.
If anything, I think hemi cars are doing better...
