This was one of those "food for thought moments"-I decided to analyze the prices then and now and decide what kind of investment potential there was back in 88...spoiler alert-a Super Bird was listed for 15K back then.

Some good reading there...

 

wish i was around when cars were that jeep =P

 

In the early 80's Mopars were cheep, no one really wanted them, GM was putting out after market pieces and blowing the doors off Mopars. They also had a jump on the small car when gas went sky rocketing. But than I think, I paid $300 for my car in 82 can I get $10,000for my car today, I hope so, because I have burned more than that in fuel driving it around town in the past 28 years,.........So investment NO,....fun Ubetya

 

Those were the days-I was focused on buying a 59 Plymouth at the same time (1987-88) and I turned down a very solid 300G for 4 K simply because I didn't like the way it idled with the cross ram 2 fours and because it wasn't a 59 Fury.
I still regret that decision...

 

That was about the time I bought my rust free 70,000 mile '69 Coronet 440 2 door hardtop for $800. Now it would be worth about $8000.

 

Some of these guys out there could possibly retire from selling a classic car that they bought back then but what in the heck are they suppose to do after they dont have a car any more.
