I feel your pain. I've been on the selling end over the past year - and have to give cars away to get cash.
Try to buy one and suddenly they are all big bucks again
Sad thing is 99% of the cars in the $10-$13k range need to be restored if you look at them closely - years of hidden sins.
Or they are clean body ugly color typical 350 cars with A/C, bench seats and presentable.
Still $10k away from being a 12 second street/strip car.
What I am seeing is it takes over $15k to touch a clean body with good colors and nice driveline and some waiting to find one.
I feel the economy sucks - shouldn't toy prices drop?
The days of a $5000 Lemans clean basic driver and $10,000 Lemans clean street/strip car are gone.
Sad, so sad.
