Number TWO, the 1979 Chevy Corvette Stingray is most definitely the favorite this time. I would love to put some QA1 control arms, WillWood brakes and gold 26 inch Rucci’s on it. Modify the headlights and have it repainted…this would be a perfect build for me

Not a fan of C3 Corvettes after 1977. That huge bubble rear window completely ruined the Corvettes lines. And that one has a non stock, or later model rear fascia with the molded in spoiler, something else I'm not a fan of. I would never consider owning any car with wheels larger than 15 inches. Anything bigger is total ghetto trash. My favorite '40s car is the '40 and '41 Willys coupe.

I just looked at a few cars locally, and the prices are way high yet. One a 47 Dodge, very similar to number one here, and they were asking $3k I passed on it because it needed a ton of interior work and the trunk was a mess. It got sold at a local auction for $1,200. I also looked at a 66 F100 here, also with a 352 engine. It was in comparable condition to the one in the vid here but minus the rust, but in need of paint. The guy was stuck on $10k. The way I looked at it the biggest detractor was the engine, if it were the inline 6, I'd have made an offer, but with fuel at $4/gal and up, I simply don't want an 352 FE motor in my driveway. What's really messed up is that I'm seeing junk from the 90's being listed as classics now. I'm not paying as much for a toy as I paid for my daily driver, especially since its going to need a ton of work.

Agree...see the for sale ads of kids selling their "Iconic legendary" jdm 4 door jap car? Thats funny. Never heard that term jdm til the fast n furious stuff. Those were cars bought for a 16 yr old to go to school or for grandma Most older cars and trucks are so overrpiced I lost interest completely. Just cause somethings 25 yrsd old dont make it classic...or desirable. Internet forums and fanboys convince eachother that every make/yr of car must be a rare collectible. Even forum for pintos and Ford LTDs like they are something special.

We sold a 1926 Ford Model T at auction for a family recently and it went for $4000 absolute. They had been trying to sell it for $12,000. It was absolutely worth that but nobody wanted it. It came with an extra rear end and a ton of small parts. Unbelievable. Younger people just don't want them and people my age are getting out or dying off I guess. Same with the muscle cars.

Agree...remember when any nice Tbucket or bilet mobile st rod was 40k plus. No demand for those anymore...60s cars are overpriced by a TON . Mine was appraised for 65k and given a real life value of 40k. I wouldnt pay that..maybe half if it was perfect and a new build. Prices of 60s cars will go in the toilet here soon with all the EV crap, Ca is already banning them from the road in certain places, gas prices will never go back down seasonally like they used to. Oh and electric co raising rates almost double out here in Ca. Bill already passed goes into effect in a few mos . May be time to buy a motorcycle only affordable way to get around .

Prices are falling and they are going to fall more. I'm 73. Been interested in classic cars all my life. Had a few. Had a few when they were still brand new. Go to classic car shows all the time. But for the last ten years I noticed something missing.Teenage boys. There are no teenage boys at these shows with their heads under the hoods. No interest in old cars. Also the market for classics and hot rod has priced both the car cost and up keep out of their range. And as for old guys like me, cant afford them either.
