This is true but you have to be so careful with buying old classics.. There are so many traps with muscle car sharks cashing in on inexperienced buyers, hidden rust, botched up body's.. Even though six bangers and rusty fairmonts might be asking $20k plus they stay forsale a long time. There's some good examples around but you pay $$$$.
