Default RE: HUH?

Unfortunately for those wishing to buy their dream car.....everyone thinks his 318 Challenger, Charger or whatever is worth what he saw the "same" car going for at the last BJ Auction. Even if the car going accross the block was a rare Hemi whatever.....it has the same type body so it must be worth the same......Mopars have never been as popular as the Fords and Chevys and less were made, and now others who would never have thought about owning a Mopar have "discovered" them raising the prices out of sight. It's the old story of...what was unpopular back then, due to unwanted color combination or an option that was too expensive for most such as the Hemi are today's "most wanted". Challengers have always been popular...but in the past parts to restore them were not being produced and you had to shop junk yards and such to find parts. Unlike the Mustang and Camaro in which you can buy everything you need.
I love old Mopars but I have a hard time seeing these car being worth what some people are paying for them....but it's their money. It's all a sign of the times. The sad thing is that when a car reaches a certain level of value...most owners stop driving them and they spend all their lives under a car cover in a garage instead of being used for what they were built for...DRIVING.>>>>SAD because they are such fun to drive and show......
