I mean if the car is as presented then in my opinion it's right in the ball park providing the reserve is say.....$48-50k??

The way I look at it, I see base model cars sell for $30-$40k that technically aren't even muscle cars. Cars like 307 camaros, or like the 68 firebird with a 350 in it currently on ebay, bid to like $25k right now and reserve not met on that one. Really? It's just a base firebird with no options, other than a stick poking through the floor it has no appeal. My opinion that one is already beyond the money it's worth.

For my money, I'd rather have a real muscle car, and the prices I'm seeing for base model stuff, it's not much more to get into a real muscle car. $50k for a 70 SS 396 does not surprise me. Step up the engine option in these cars and the price can more than double.

I guess in the grand scheme of things there are worse cars for the money but 50K for a L34 automatic? To be honest I like cars like this that look presentable and can be driven but close to 50K is an eye opener for me. Makes me think I should sell a couple off and reload when the market corrects itself. IDK...
