Musclecar value question

[Dave Rifkin]

So I'm watching the replays of the Barret-Jackson auction and I couldn't help but notice a distrubing slant to the values of certain cars. For example, why would a Hemi 'Cuda be worth more than a 1969 L88 Corvette? Both cars were very beautiful; the "Cuda was green with black vinyl roof and interior with a 4 speed. The 'Vette was a Riverside Gold coupe 4 speed with all of the usual L88 stuff. The 'Vette went to 260k or there about and the 'Cuda went for closer to 300k.
Both cars (maybe not these two specific cars) have racing in thier blood and are extremely rare; I think the '69 L88 is rarer (I could be wrong) but, for some reason once you put a Hemi into somthing the price skyrockets.
In my opinion the Corvette was more "state of the art" back then and I would think the L88 would be equal to, or more, valuable than any production Mopar.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the disproportionate values placed on these Mopars compared to other, sometimes rarer, musclecars?
