200,000+ -- "grey beards"; these are tough to sell at any price unless it is in truly exceptional condition and has been restored to a high standard (top & bottom end, trans rebuild, all new lines & suspension, new paint, and clean interior) and there aren't a lot of 3.2s or SCs that have been because they just aren't worth enough. Otherwise most of their value is in parts -- $7500-12000, and most are probably future track cars, hot rods, or due for parting out.
Just my short term observations.

Not so sure I agree with these last two. I have seem some really nice 180K cars that are in very good condition, pull strong, documented, nice paint, etc. that I would much rather pay a little more for than some of the 120K cars that are out there. Just my opinion
