The cars leading the charge upward are the G50 cars, all (or mostly) stock and original, with 100K or less miles on them.
Given the costs of rebuild and restoration back to original condition, 200K+ mile cars don't really get much of a bump right now.
Because, if an excellent condition, 90K mile original '88 was $19K a year ago, and is $23K today, that doesn't really help the high mile, modified '84 move off the $12K mark. To bring that car back to original, good (low mile) condition would cost $15-20K.
It would take a much bigger move in the upper end to finally drag the lower end cars up. If an excellent '88 were worth $50K, then a decent high mile '84 would get more than $12K. Because the restoration costs would then be justifiable.
