Relative to other cars that used to be worth $500 and people think are now worth $60,000 I think midyears are very cheap in comparison. In the current market anything built in the 60’s, (including many cars with 4 doors I would not keep if you gave them to me) are priced into the stratosphere. By comparison I think midyears are undervalued.
Even more ridiculous in my opinion is the severe undervaluing of 1968-1972 sharks. Why in the world plain Camaros, Chevelles, Chargers, Challengers, Mustangs, etc that were much cheaper and had production numbers in the hundreds of thousands are worth more than a much more expensive, faster, better handling chrome bumper Corvette is baffling to me. I just can’t understand how a 427 1969 Corvette is now priced significantly lower than a 396 Camaro.

I have had this conversation many times with people that are lusting over a 57 Chevy convertible. When I tell them they can buy a 57 Corvette for less they ar astounded.
Another thing that drives prices on thes “other” cars is a back seat that allows you to haul the family including grandchildren. This is often justification to the wife for this toy.

But whoever really wanted a Gremlin? Gremlin $41k. Restored 1972 Corvette $25k.

And then there are DREAMERS. I am sure that Gremlin will be for sale for a looooong time at that price. You can ask whatever you want but getting it is another story.

Regardless if you think that Gremlin is overpriced, $25k won’t buy you any other decent classic car. I see project Camaros selling for that much, and people desperate to buy them.

The Cars of Dreams Museum in Florida has also had this '64 coupe built by the Roadster Shop on that auction site for weeks.

For those unaware of what's happening in the market place, on BAT within the last month, here are a few sales. These were all basically stock, small block, 4 speed cars.
A '67 coupe, (big block hood) but an L79 sold for 97K: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-corvette-105/
A '67 coupe with a base 300 hp engine sold for 91.9K: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-corvette-111/
A '67 convertible, base 300 hp engine sold for 89.5K: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-corvette-115/
A '67 convertible, L79 was bid to, but not sold for 101K! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...onvertible-62/
Nice, clean, stock, small block, mid-years will soon be 100K + cars. The market trend is undeniable for whatever reason. A raising tide, lifts all boats.
