Interesting observation. Where have you seen the falling prices? Everything I've seen is them pretty much holding still.

Hagerty pricing valuation & classic nada

I gotta say, Right or Wrong... My opinion. Those price guides are usually full of BS. Not real world. Put together based on small statistical subset of cars they have watched sell at auctions. I put no stock in Nada or Haggery or any of these "Storefront" Appraisals I so often see quoted in ads and on line.

Again, I may be wrong and I'm speaking about cars in general... Not just Camaros.

Agree 100%

IMHO,I think folks on the “ outside” of the hobby rely on these resources to determine value. Right or wrong that’s why these resources exist and in many ways influence ALl the automotive markets. As an example I am looking for an FJ 40 and have gone on the expert forums for their expert opinion, auction results, eBay, craigslist, etc.. to get a general price range on these vehicles. Needless to say the same inconsistencies exist in the valuation of these based on owners perception of supply and demand, originality, quality of resto etc.. bottom line if your serious about any vehicle you have to do your homework using a multitude of resources to find what your looking for and for a fair price which is all part of the fun!

I have been saying the market is softening for a couple years now. I recall about 2 yrs ago here, guys were getting upset there '69 Z28 were not bringing the high numbers. I think the one guy wanted mid $80's and was only in the 60's at an auction.

It's simple supply and demand. Supply is holding stead or increasing in anything but 100 point cars. BUT demand is going down. That why you hear of the "collections" being sold off by the guys that don't really look closely at the prices. Guys like Pratt. If he wanted it he would just bid to he was uncomfortable where it goes. Once guys like him and other big name/dollar guys start dumping and not re-stalking there collections, the prices and demand starts to shrink.

I to want to do this as a bit of an investment too. But all but maybe 3/4 cars would have to be bought by me head, not may hart. I would pay what I would consider OVER market for the just right '67 427 Vette or '68 GTX. NOT AT THIS TIME THOUGH. The Vette will be a tribute to my father who passed in 2018. The '68 GTX was my FIRST car when I turned 16. So it holds a spot in my hart.

I don't think you can lump all kids into the same group. They're just like the rest of us, and all humanity in reality. Some will embrace EVs, some won't, and some in the middle. My 18 yo stepson wants nothing to do with any EV, and will never consider (as long as he has the choice) anything but an ICE.

I for one will not mourn the 'investors' who have no other interest in the hobby other than making returns that outpace the S&P. But long term I think the jury is still out on Camaros as they appeal to younger people as well as older...just consider the number of pro-touring modernized builds and what those cars are bringing at auction.

I always buy what I like so if I get stuck with it...I'm still happy
