Patrick,

Better read that a little more closely.....the Hemmings writer stated that they (Hemmings) know of the $120K Hemi Superbird, not the Pontiac guy.

Not that Pontiac prices aren't going up. Maybe they are. But come on! A Hemi-Superbird for 120K. I think they should give some more details on that sale. That's probably the market for a mint 440-4 car on its best day. But certainly not a Hemi.

As far as re-reading the article. It may be a "Hemmings" guy who is also a Pontiac collector.

That's exactly the point I was making. To publish that statement, with no further explanation/details, is borderline irresponsible. Perhaps the car was a basket case, perhaps it had no drivetrain - who knows? But to inject that into the same brief story touting $400K - $1M Pontiacs is sleazy journalism.

I don't know about the cars themselves, but the parts sure aren't getting any cheaper.

just take a look at a hemmings price guide (any one of them) it never seams like the homework is done so no suprize here. pontiacs are very strong on the market, but so are the hemi birds, and i agree with Jeff on the 440 4brl price, and thats the entry level bird.

didnt that guy from dream car garage pay 400K for that RAIV ragtop??
he said on his show they were worth 500k-1mil.

i guess he ought to know.
