Exclusive Sneak Peek: Spring Carlisle Swap Meet 2024! 

Key word "89"

35 years ago

@@garymcgill6092 no shit

​@@Duece-xl2mc That's really the point you fail to see. The prices 35 years ago are irrelevant. But historically when you go to these swap meets prices are always inflated when you have a captive audience.

How much did a house cost in 1989??

Right!

Most are priced higher than they want. The best prices and deals are on the last day

I have to agree. All these car collectors think they are Barrett and Jackson. It seems like everyone is asking way too much.

I agree!

yep, sellers are delusional and dont want to accept that peak prices have come and gone, and that consumers are pulling back, so unless you price to actually sell, your car is just going to sit there.

Yes, and when you add in the costs to restore these vehicles to even a drivable state...whew. I do think the blue Mustang convertible at $26900 isn't too out of line since it's a good, solid platform for any upgrades.

I looked at that while I was there and didn't notice until this video that it has FIREBIRD rear spoiler ends on it. The 70-73 Camaros did have 'solid panel' side pieces, but they still had the forward slant, (almost as if they were predicting the clearance that would be needed for those '74 wrap around taillights)

@@jamesharding4056 good catch

Yeah but it comes with a sweet milk gallon for the radiator... Sheesh

On a 70 camaro, original front fenders are 1k each these days, the seats are also worth about 1k, one year only.

mustangs got 4 lug..302.. i had a set of wheels off one, they fit ford escort., as do saab 9000. alfa, ect.. ausie.. with a clone 340 r/t, 340.. sublime. 75 h/boy. 62 f100 4x4, swb.. 352 FE 9''..

4 lugs on 74 and up through the 80’s on Mustangs

Well done clones are bringing top dollar these days - actually since 2018. Sold my '66 big block, 4 speed, 12 bolt Chevelle SS clone with a frame off for 59,500.00 last spring...

Because most originals are out of reach out of sight! 2-3x or more that of a high priced clone.

I'm not a clone or resto-mod guy, but if I won one in a sweepstakes I would drive it.

A 2008 or 2013 Corvette (427) is a solid investment.

Keep reading a list and it sticks. That's a big brain in anyone's head. Infinite.

An hour went by and no thumbs up on that comment..lol 👍

10.2 hours ive been racking my brain trying to figure out that voice and YES its Matt Foley ,hope he sells them trucks so he can get some more suitable accomadation than that van down by the RIVER

I can strap a chev 350 to a shopping cart and it'll go fast, too. But I'd rather drive the Trans Am.

Knew.

@@johnbragg2014he no’d that

You could buy a brand new "loaded" 1970 LT1 Convertible Corvette with both tops for $6200.

If the work was done recently, I would understand what the price is being so high but I do agree 37 is high

This particular clone appears to have been done properly. The car doesn't know it's not a true SS. Worth the money and I would think 35k would get the deal done.

I agree, that’s a $27K car all day. I’ve owned a dozen Chevelle’s. Easy to find one like this for 23-28K.

Yeah but our moneys worth a lot less then it was 20yrs ago too

​@zephead4835 Car doesn't have a Brain. The person buying it does. 37k for a clone SS? No thank you.

There's a real 1970 SS Chevelle across the street from me, just rusting away.

The dude in the red hoodie needs his own channel! Dude put a truck inside a truck!

I would tend to agree with you and many boomers I have spoke to are getting out of the market due to there age.I am a boomer myself and have lost interest in the ownership of classic cars.

@@sdc5683I’m a boomer but still hanging on to a few inexpensive street cruisers and I enjoy hanging out at the weekly show and shine events in my area of Central Texas. ACL. Also as not as numerous in Texas as other states I go to swap meets to see if I need something. However a lot old common SBC stuff that is not LS and not wanted, almost no Ford or Mopar. Most of those swap meet vendors are boomers too. I don’t see my children age group. Few young folks are really into cars like my generation is. Same with scooters. My nephews and kids all ride and go to Moto GP here every year and they have no interest in anything that is not racing around the race track. I don’t believe Harley or The New Indian brands will make it. Unless they are bought by a foreign brand. I don’t think the sales are there as few young people are interested. They want what they see on the race track.

That's the big question alright

Besides prices being too high,younger folks also lack the nostalgic connection with these dinosaurs. Some don’t even recognize old marques such as Oldsmobile,Plymouth or Mercury. Plus,I’m not sure that they could drive a legitimate,400 horse,rear-wheel drive monster that,even with posi,lacks electronic traction control.

@@myleslong5584 "Oldsmobile,Plymouth or Mercury." And Pontiac..

Steve is not all of that he always gets his facts wrong

@@danielknepper6884 we agree to disagree, jmho

Great combo for sure!

That little bit of rain is no different than washing the car..... I take it you're a trailer queen type of it

Show it to me. But I will admit that particular one for 12.5K is ridiculous had some pretty serious rest on it

Good catch. So much for the “professional” restoration. I’ll pass…

Especially with those ugly a** wheels.

Smoking crack.
