In case it hasn't been mentioned there was a fairly lengthy article in Monday's USA Today paper in the Money section on the 60's and early 70's musclecars. Talks about the escalating demand and associated prices for a number of models. Colin Corner / Milwaukee was pictured and quoted. A fair amount of press was given to the Hemi equipped models with some pricing examples including the a '71 Hemi powered Plymouth Barracuda convertible that recently sold for $1.5 million. Richard Lentinell, editor in chief for Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine is quoted as "the new models only drive more people into the market for the originals". Gives some other pricing examples with Pontiac GTO convertibles. On the other end talks about European models from the same era as being flat with their pricing. Article also talks a bit about more and more people getting priced out of the market for these cars.

I would suspect one could still get a copy of this edition via USA Today website if interested. They did a similar article 12-18 month's ago.
