My fiance' is very into classic cars and has been pining for a 65' lincoln vert. I had looked into these a year ago and one could be had for around $10-15k in mint condition. She mentioned it again the other day and I took a look in the local classic car trader. Hard tops are now $10k and verts are anywhere from $20k to $50k. Just shows the market hipe as of late.
This fad will pass much like beanie babies.
