Muscle Car Values 10 - 20 Years Out

[Keith Tedford]

Pacecarjeff, You are describing many of us, 20 years from now. I'll be turning 80. Perish the thought. Might just have our car restored by then. The only true way to get hooked on Musclecars is to ride in one. Sadly, the nicer ones are being stored away in museums, warehouses and enclosed trailers, never to see the highways again. We need to take any an all young people for a ride. Once experienced, these cars won't be forgotten. I can pretty well guarantee that. Back in about 1973, I took a long haired kid for a ride in our COPO Chevelle. By accident, I met him 20 years later. You guessed it. He is a dyed in wool Chevy guy now with a 383 stroker motor '67 Chevy II and a '64 Chevelle drag car. His first ride in the old Chevelle still puts a smile on his face when we talk about it. You can't explain it to kids. They have to experience it to appreciate it. Give a kid a ride.

GMMG will be your future Grand Spaulding performance, Motion performance etc. and with the possibility of the camaro coming back, wow that will make those cars a great investment!

I hardly think so . The guys who bought these cars werent kids...they were 100k cars ! In 20 years they will be forgotten like a lot of this stuff. The magic of the 60's will never be repeated...Mr Norm and Yenko were in a different league IMO.

80? - I'm 10 years behind you.
The only way I will stop driving is when I can't push down the gas pedal anymore.

Model T's got very cheap when that generation died out.
The muscle cars are a different breed. Flashy colors, big motors. They will a;so be popular with the next generations - only if they can afford to own one.
At this rate of price increases, all the good ones will be for display only.

I agree 100% - give a kid a ride in your muscle car.

Hope we can still find gas in 20 years.
You could always pull out your Hemi, and drop in a Turbolectric special.

these cars are definitely bringing premium prices today. it seems to me though the hemi mopars are a little low this year. most assurdely the supercars of tomorrow will be the 02 ZL1 and Dick Harrell camaros amongst others produced in this time. the folks that had the opprotunity to purchase one of these cars will surely reap that investment back later years down the road.

What a great guy Matt Murphy is also, to be associated with such a fine gentleman must have been a pleasure. GMMG will be your future Grand Spaulding performance, Motion performance etc. and with the possibility of the camaro coming back, wow that will make those cars a great investment!

Not to low on the Mopars. 450K for one 70 Hemi-cuda and 650K for another. How about a 71 Hemi-Cuda (rebodied) for over 600K.

Hemi E-bodies are very strong!

I could not believe that rebodied Hemi Cuda went that kind of money...
Triple black always sells... it was a pretty car, but not something I would own as a rebody.

I agree Daniel.

The Green 70 Hemi-Cuda that went off earlier in the night was beautiful. Even in Green, I love that car. I saw Tommy from Aloha Automtive advising the winning bidder during the auction.

Pat... That green Cuda was a stunning example!
I would love to own a car of the sort...
I also really enjoyed that plum crazy, pistol grip, '70 Hemi RR that went for $135,000...
