Restored Ram Air III's are not pulling 6 figures. I don't even think you can find an over-hyped auction result from an over-exuberant drunken bidder to support that number.

I'm also part of the contingent that believes muscle car prices are past their peak and it's downhill from here.

I agree with 60's muscle cars seeing better times price wise.My intention is to sell one or both of these cars if their too far gone to be restored. Misaligned quarters, to start, are way too complicated for me, but if their all there, who knows? Maybe Ill sell a few cars to finace the project. Very few people I know are strong buyers of cars from the 60's anymore, so bargains on completed cars are out there. Just out of curiosity, what do you feel is top buck on a 69 4 speed these days?

Some of it depends on the provenance of the vehicle and the restoration. A numbers matching, one family owned car from California, restored by one of the top three GTO restoration shops in the country, using all NOS original parts, with a recent concourse gold - might fetch close to $100k from the right buyer - even today I think.

Most cars with run of the mill frame off restorations however will fetch probably around $65k-$70k.
