Not much worth posting from this periodical lately. However, this one caught my attention. They are using the purported sales from this Doylestown outfit as a barometer of Pontiac rising prices. Any thots?

Pontiac Muscle Prices Out of Control
You’ve read all about Mopar muscle being the hottest thing on the planet. Well, it appears that Hemi and 440 Six Pack cars, while still overpriced, are coming back to earth. We know of a Hemi Superbird that recently sold for $120,000. That is substantially less than a year ago.
Meanwhile, Anthony Calderaio of Custom Classic GTOs, Inc., in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, told us of some recent sales of GTOs. Check these out: 1970 Ram Air IV black Judge convertible at $535,000; 1969 Judge convertible, $350,000; 1970 Judge convertible with a Ram Air III for $425,000; and a plain Jane ’70 convertible, but with a 455, four-speed and factory air for $180,000. In some cases, these prices are 100 times their original list price! We also know of a confirmed sale of $1.3 million for one of the very rare 1969 Trans Am convertibles.
“GTO prices were suppressed, but now people are starting to realize that they are worth as much as Mopars and maybe even more, because they are full-framed cars—which were better made, of better quality and with creature comforts,” Calderaio said.
