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.
For the most part it is nostalgia. Many people look back to their early life and remember the car they owned, lusted after or their buddy had. These cars were the ones that were affordable to them at the time. Although many would certainly rather have had a Corvette but the initial price AND insurance prevented it. Many that have these nostalgic feelings don’t even realize they can actually buy the Corvette the would have rather had back in the day because they don’t look and have tunnel vision for the original ride and this demand drives those prices.
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.
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.

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.
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.

1963 Corvette Convertible. Daytona Blue Stingray with 4-speed manual transmission, cast aluminum knock-off wheels and auxiliary hardtop.
The person trying to sell this car should have saved himself a lot of time and just typed "Corvette For Sale". What a terrible write-up for a For Sale ad.
