Default is this care REALLY worth that much to you

I am NOT taking a position on this (yet). I am just curious if this car is worth 95k to you guys/girls? And as a general question- do you think old cars in general are worth as much as they sale for?

1970 ss for sale 95k

I'd rather build a new 1969 Camaro for about ~$30k with modern mechanical bits.

It's worth what the market will bear.

I personally wouldn't spend that much money on it, but I don't have $95k to blow on a car, either.

My buddy just bought the exact same car at a muscle car swap meet. 15500. That color is fantastic in person.

I prefer modified classics(bigger, stronger engine, modern style wheels, lowered modern suspension, brakes, new interior, etc.) as apposed to stock muscles.

I have no interest in it, but people who grew up during that time period and became successful are the ones who keep that market alive.

Same reason why we might think Supras and NSXs are worth that much in 2030.

Perhaps if it was an all original 454 with matching numbers, but not as a restoration.
