When it comes to G-Bodies, I get the feeling that slowly but steady car-enthousiast switch to them since they are still affordable. Here in Europe they can be registered as youngtimers, as well as oldtimers, especially since the prices of all other us-cars went through the roof like 20years ago. For example: when I started to look around for one, i was also interested in a Dodge Charger from 1969. I didn't buy it because I could't fit it in my garage back then. they price was 7000€ and the car was in a decent shape. running, some patina, needed a little love from a mechanic but all in all a good classic. the following year, Fast and Furious came to the cinemas. and from there on, prices for chunky V8's took off since every damn tuner thought that us muscle cars were the "nec plus ultra" for speeding, dragracing, and so on. Then, a few years later came the economic crisis and people started to invest their money into something more "solid". Oldtimers became the new gold, and european vehicles went from already high prices to exorbitant, even ludicrous, thus pulling the price-tags of us-cars up too. If i wanted to buy the same charger today, i would be beyond 50.000€ if it was in a "decent" shape... i guess, if we wait long enough and keep our g-bodies safe, in the near future, some freaks will pay ludicrous prices for them too. but that's just my opinion...
