mopar prices on the rise??
 

I now have to wonder, with the recent blue cuda convert selling well, are people realizing mopars are finally coming up out of the slump they were in? I have an old 71 cuda ad, stuck on cuda world (since 2012), and the calls I have been getting on that old ad, have increased significantly in the past months. I had my friend that sold me my 70 cuda convert project this past winter, tells me he has a buyer for way more money that what I paid for it (and he regrets he sold it in the first place). And now, if that's not enough of a sign, I have a very rich 'farmer' interested in prying my 67 hemi gtx out of my hands. I have been saying NO, thinking the trend will be prices are going up, not down on this stuff.

I think people are wising up, and prices should be going up some on the nice stuff.

Anyone agree? Or seeing the same? No doubt, 4 spds seem to be bringing hefty premiums.

I Hope your right as I am thinking about selling my 1970 Challenger R/T S.E. 440 4BBL four speed with Dana soon. Maybe this is the right time to do it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] but it is a hard car to put a price on when only 142 of these were made brand new as a 4 speed.

I was/am in the same boat. I was going to sell my 70 440 4spd mr norms challenger survivor, very similar in drive line to your car, not as rare, but I think less that 900 or 600 made. We both have the Dana! As soon as I let it go, prices will go up.

That is a good question. And that relates back to the posting, have mopars been creeping up in price? I am not pricing anything without knowing what I am doing first. As far as the mr norms car, that is a tough one to price, I have been to enough Mr norms events, there are no others like it. New chevy suburbans are $60-75K now, I just cant see letting a rare survivor muscle car go for less than that now. I used to think ~$75K was the right money on that car, but I just don't think so anymore. I think some of the buying public is willing to pay more money than some of us realize. They are buying these NEW cars with prices I myself cant believe.

Yeah, but they're financing the new cars for 72 months (or longer). Remains to be seen if the sale of Suydam's HemiCuda 'vert is simply indicative of the fact that the absolute rarest of the rare will always bring significant money (supply and demand; with only a handful built, it only takes a handful of people to drive the price into the stratosphere), or indicative of a broader trend. Entry-level Mopar muscle like 383 Road Runners and 440 GTX's have been selling cheap lately, at least drivers and nice projects, which may mean something or nothing. I tend to think that the top-level cars (drop-top Hemi E-bodies, R/A IV Judge convertibles, etc.) may be increasing in value while the rest of the lot holds steady or even decreases, but who knows?

Mega-buck cars have always maintained their values. This car sold for a similar amount a few years ago, and if the current auction is any indication, the market suggests this car's demand is relatively inelastic through several economic conditions.

I think a better barometer would be cars that are more core to the hobby that sell for under six figures.

I think a good sign to me, is a orange/red 69 charger 500 hemi 4spd sold at mecum for around $290K. And a black 71 sixpack charger sold for $90K. As example, I dont see similar examples like that selling at those prices say a yr ago.

If the high end mopars continue to go up, it wont take that long for it to pull up all the other mid level mopars (which happened yrs ago).
