You know, I'd diss this trend, but I can't. It'* very flattering to get frequent offers for $5000 or more on my car when I have it out and running!
Best offer so far is $7500.
Keep in mind my car blue books for about $500, even with only 87,000 actual miles.

What bothers me the most about this trend is that I like that old body style and it lends itself very well dropping in crate motors w/cams, 12-bolt rear ends, and racing suspension. Now I can't afford to pick one of these up for the $300-500 they used to sell for.
I've been seeing these on the nearby city streets for a couple years now and it makes me feel sad for the cars...

There is always the Dodge Aires. I had one fo r$300, put in a new clutch and it was gogd as new. I don't hink ricers would touch it, and it would look pretty lame on 26'*
Or there is the Caravan
