Demographics drive this stuff.

Looked at the price of something like a model T? Saw one on Craigslist for $2500 this summer. And it was nice.

That was exactly my thought. We've been discussing it on this BBS for quite some time, but it's different to see things actually start to shift. Just look at BaT, seems like a new high is being set weekly for something like an Integra Type R, Supra, NSX, RX-7, 911, etc. There's an entirely new generation of collectors driving up pricing on an entirely new class of cars.

My neighbor across the street has a nice driver quality '69 Z/28 Camaro. A real one, not a replica. Black over black, white racing stripes, numbers matching, manual transmission, it probably would have been a $100k car at peak pricing a few years ago. He's been talking about selling it since I moved in 11 years ago, I don't have the heart to tell him that at this point, he might be better off keeping it.
