    Just another example of why it makes no sense to buy cars and not drive them. If I had a buck for every time I’ve seen someone basically storing a car because they’re sure it’s going to be worth more someday...:facepalm:

    I saw a Rallye Red 1971 'Cuda convertible, with a 440 6-Pack, sell for $895,000. It was 1 of 17 produced in 1971- formerly part of the Steven Juliano Collection, with only 21,026 miles on the odometer.

    Just think, in 1971 you could have bought one from the dealership for around $4,000.

    ^^^ Incredible prices on many of the original 1st generation Challengers and 'Cudas. I only listed the modern era. The market is still hot for the 'oldies', that's for sure. The restored examples are better than factory new in some instances, especially the paint.

    Every time some rich moron pays a ridiculous amount for an old car at auction or from one of those boutique builders it makes it that much harder for the average “Joe” to buy one. The sad truth is that most of these guys end up losing money on the cars so what was the point?

    Don't think any will out price this one:

    I saw it sell at auction a few years back for just over a Million and thought it was crazy,
    but it is a '71 426 Hemi 4-speed car :)
