Thanks for the walk about! I had planned on going, but life got in the way. I wanted to visit my buddy "Shelby Bill" but at least you stopped by his corner with the Boss 302 n Shelbys. Thanks 😁
You can also thank all the old guys coming into $$$$ through inheritances; cashing out 401K's , etc. that are buying the cars that they always wanted and not caring that much in price.
What fun thank you for the tour. As a young adult during the 70's my friends and I had a number of those cars. Good memories. 1978 my boss at the time a good guy needed to sell his clean 1969 Z28 offered it to me for $4500.00. I did not want to get a loan to buy it. What a loss.
Wow, nice weather, I remember it snowing in years past. Thanks for the walk around. Been years since attending. I think prices will continue to drop in coming years.
Prices will drop on the frumpier cars that primarily blue hairs are/were sentimental about...like cars from the 40's and 50's. The muscle cars of the 60s and 70s are likely to remain strong sellers, even non matching numbers cars. A kid with driving a 72 Nova to high school will seem like a ferrari
Backyard Barn Finds,my buddy bought a 69 gto judge at a swap meet at jefferson wi,he paid $2,500 for it,he restored it now it looks showroom condition,he even found the build sheet,he was offered $350,000 he passed it up, but its all original
@@backyardbarnfinds my first time watching I liked your relaxing pace, and delivery, not trying to be cool or overstimulate just the pleasing walk through and sharing of knowledge also great camera work thanks I'm in Maryland so I got to get up there to Carlisle not too much of car community around Baltimore county except for cars and coffee Saturdays at Hunt valley Maryland.
Excellent video!!!! Young guy knows his stuff!!!! I've had 10 garage Queens in my life, and that fear of: bugs, birds and rock chips always sucked the fun out of driving them. If I had it to do it over, I would just have had a car in primer black with a built drivetrain. Most of these cars are priced way too high, personally, I'd rather just wait for all the widows of all those old guys to get rid of them at a fair price once the market gets flooded after all the old guys give up the ghost!
Enjoyed. Well done. Small block c3 manual most fun for the $ that can be had. And every part available. Have two cars that were gold. Both resprayed, one by me. Maybe out one back. Cheers
Mecum auctions make these dopes think that their garbage cars are worth tens of thousands and drives the market well beyond where it should be. That's OK, it drove up the value of my collection too ...
Fantastic walk through with an expert. This is very much a buyer beware environment with pretty paint jobs. The reality is our cars are getting old. Really old so deep restoration to achieve a good state of preservation is essential. Future values are difficult to predict. Personally I think age combined with poor restorations and EV world change will impact on values especially for some. But the USA is a different market.
Great video I can tell you have a lot of knowledge! Although I do kindly disagree with you regarding the 69 Corvettes. Just thought they were a nice one off (compared to the 68 and 70) I’ve had a couple 69 Lemans blue with L46 4 banger with a M21 and 3.70 butt.
My neighbor has a 58 impala hardtop unmolested sitting in the Arizona sun for over 20 years for sale. I don't think it's a Tri Power but I have not lifted the hood yet. Looks like it needs restoration but probably can be made to run. They want 30K . I was thinking that is too much. Your thoughts?
If it has been in the AZ sun for that period of time the interior is toast. Not an inexpensive replacement. Prices on 58’s has been declining since the demand for Tri-fives has increased lately. Depending on condition (it doesn’t sound great) the seller is extremely optimistic.
I don't think the 70 gto was carousel red I believe it was Cardinal red carousel red was mostly on 69s orbit orange was the gimmick color for 70 it was actually a yellow
I will take a new (mustang)(Camaro)(charger, or challenger) less money with air-conditioning power windows, power locks, power brakes, and will take any of those things out of the whole. with the Aceon and I could drive from state to state rather than to a car show.
Will enough electricity be around in 20 years to power all the electric cars, trucks and homes and businesses with all electric appliances and HVC systems?
The days of having to take a car somewhere to sell it are over. I feel like that's where I'd take one to "dump it". Far enough from home, you never have to deal with it again
I just like how you go through and find the "Flaws" on the cars you describe. Very well versed and like how you know what to look for. Great to see you know what you're looking at !!
As the boomers die out it will be interesting to see what happens to prices. I suspect as ICE car ownership dies out and the old geezers die out anything not restored to OEM will rapidly lose value. Original unrestored will always be king. I loved the knowledge of the presenter.
IYO. Restomodded cars that can actually be driven and enjoyed vs sitting at car shows with the owner constantly wiping the dust off appeals more to me.
At the start you said that value of these cars is coming down and I agree. The generation today who are successful and have the means to make these kinds of purchases are not interested in the 60 and 70 muscle cars. I'm gen x and these cars filled our high school parking lots in the 80's because they were handed down to us from our parents when they decided to buy something newer. This generation today feels the way my generation felt about the cars from the 30's 40's and 50's. Outdated, not cool and not interested. With that being said. The value of these cars except for the few that are very rare and in original factory condition is going to keep falling. In my own opinion of course.
Usually they are BS. In 1969 , Ivworked at a hardware store. One partial owner of the store had a silver 67 Mustang GT automatic with console, 289 . Stone stick it had overhead console too an unusual optional feature. I drove that car a dozen times to the local Fird dealer to drop it off or pick it up for the owner who was pushing 78 years old. Nice man. Their family had a 100 year history in the hardware business in CA and Montana.
His son was the primary owner in those years. Real nice people. They made a huge difference to us kids needing a job and teaching us what we needed to know about plumping, paint, Electrical parts and supplies, copper plumbing fittings, etc etc

Thanks for the tour ! My late friend and I hit every spring and fall show for over 30 years- haven't been since his passing, but recent back problems would make it hard to be on my feet as long as necessary to see everything. Enjoyed your walk around- thanks again !
Hi Everyone im new to The Mopar world. I see alot of Complaints on price. All i no is im in the middle of a build on a 1967 mustang coupe. Having a 302 rebuilt up to 500hp. That alone is over 10k tranny $2000. I paid 11k. I have $4k in brakes. $2500 suspension. Plus another. $2000 k in extras starter/alum radiator. Etc etc. I can keep going exhaust. Etc etc etc. I no they say you cant get it all back. I would never be able to sell it under. 40k ill let it sit. ( I no all the young guys love the new cars because everything is ready to go but to me the build is half the Fun. Im also a Pa Boy. )
Went to my first Carlisle event in 1976. Prices were low. I couldn't make it today. No cell phones or videos in 76. The prices today are unrealistic for 50 year old stuff. Only worth what someone is willing to pay.
Here's my take on Collector Car Pricing. In the late 60's to mid 70's 18 and 19 year old kids were being drafted and most were trained and sent to Viet Nam. After a year of dodging bullets from the enemy and living in squalor and monsoon rain storms your time came to rotate back to the states, where you went to the PX or closest dealership and ordered the Biggest Baddest Muscle Car available. Then you got married, and the wife couldn't handle the 426 Hemi 4 speed Superbird or the SS454 Chevelle and then the wife got pregnant and you had to sell your "Baby to buy a House and a Vega or Pinto for your new baby and of course the gas crisis of the early 70 killed the big engines. Then later in life, you have a kick ass job, kids are grown and on their own and you would PAY ANYTHING to have your Muscle Car back in your garage. OK that explains the Pricing Peak, it is over and gone. Now we are in our 70's with hip and knee replacements so you can't speed shift anymore, or worse yet you have died, and the kids do not want anything to do with that antiquated dinosaur push rod engine anywhere near their Prius and Teslas. So the prices of Muscle Cars should be approaching their lowest prices since the mid 70's, but they are not, and that is the part I do not understand.
It’s also because - as with houses and metals - you have investors flush with cash and few options to earn higher returns. Rising interest rates will read the riot act to these fat cats.
One clue as to whether or not you have a real judge is in the trunk. Most (but not all) Judges had two torsion spring rods to lift the combined weight of the trunk lid and wing. In the days before carbon and other lighter materials, those wings were pretty hefty. I've owned one Judge and three non-Judges. There was a time not too awful long ago, when Pontiac muscle was cheap compared to Chevy muscle.
I’m amazed on how much add on stuff people are putting on cars to make them a GT, R/T, SS, Z/28, etc when they’re really not, but pricing the cars as if they were authentic!
As a senior citizen, I feel so bad for todays buyers. Many of these cars were 1500.00 to 2000.00 dollar cars at one time. The Plymouth valiant he showed I bought one in extremely good condition for 500.00 dollars just like it. In 1972 I bought a 1965 mercury comet 4 door six cylinder with no reverse for 75.00 dollars and a junk yard tranny for 35.00dollars. The car had a perfect body and interior. Sure miss those days, when I was in high school my best friend owned a 1967 firebird 400 engine his grandmother bought it for him.
Not sure what economy people think we are in with these prices ? this guy is very knowledgable on just about everything with 4 tires thats impressive for someone his age he actually reminds me of me back in the 1980's i😂 i was so into every make of muscle car back then Raceway Park Englishtown NJ swap meets were great back then
Very knowledgeable about your cars. I like how you explained that 68 dodge/Plymouth was the only year with the small round side marker lights. I have explained that to many people myself. I used to go to spring/fall Carlisle myself in the 1980’s but haven’t been since. I would like to see more of your videos if there are others.
I'm happy in my brand new car that costs about $20,000 less than most of these rattle traps and has better creature comforts and fuel economy. I USED TO BE a big time car guy. Greed has ruined the whole thing now.
That's the same thing I'm thinking it's when you said the prices of these cars are starting to come down in value and I've been saying the same thing the under 45 crowd doesn't seem to be as interested as the older generation in these cars and more than not it's actually the 55 and older group for most of the pre 75' classics at what point are these cars a hard sell at just about any price? I'm in my early 60's and owned a few 60' era cars and still want stupid money for them currently. How about 30 years from now?
If you know where Ohio Pyle is in pa. There is a garage next to the old train station. The owner worked for the railroad and collected a 69 GTO judge a 1970 GTO and a 1957 two door coupe. They have not seen day light in about 45years. He died about five years ago and his wife is just letting them sit. It's a real shame.
Tell your friend Pat, the Charger at 24:00 was the nicest ride at the show. I walked most of the grounds and that car really stood out. I spoke to him briefly about the car. I actually came into that pavilion because of his car. The Barracuda and the Nova were behind him. They were both nice too, but his was flawless. He does nice work.
If electric cars get pushed by government. Your classic or collector cars go up in value just from laws. many semis of older chassis have modern engines for this reason
Like your UA-cam show. Just a few things ! You were able to order a 69 Camero SS with a 396. I believe 3 different ones. An easy way to tell a 67 to 68 Mustang is the steering wheel . 67 has a huge round padded horn center a 68 has a straight bar across. Love the show!
And as well I believe the ‘68 Mustangs had side marker lights & the ‘67’s did not. Let me know if this is correct or not as it’s been awhile since we’ve been around these cars so the knowledge & memory is somewhat faded....
He was stating that an X55 was an SS option CAMARO, that was only available in a 350 engine,x22 and x66 were the SS396 options, hp and trim were difference in those.
I have to say that $14,500 for a 318 Valiant put my jaw on the floor. Thought it worth mentioning that the hood on the blue '68 Super Bee is an aftermarket steel, hinged version of the fiberglass, lift off hood that was part of the the '69 1/2 only A12 package 440 Six Pack Super Bee and 440 Six Barrel Road Runners. There were no big blocks available in the Dodge and Plymouth E bodies after '71. Even in '70 and '71, you could get a 'Cuda with a 340. Just having a big block did not make a Barracuda a 'Cuda as you could get a 383 2 bbl in a Barracuda, and confusingly enough, the base big block for the 'Cuda was the 383 Magnum, the same engine as the Road Runner 383, in a 'Cuda. The 383 2bbl was rated at 290hp, and the non Magnum 383 4bbl at 330 vs. the Magnum/Road Runner version at 335. The 'Cuda had upgraded underpinnings and bigger brakes compared to the Barracuda, it wasn't just the engine that made an E body a 'Cuda. The '68 is my favorite Charger, but at $75k I'd pony up a few bucks more and look for an R/T. If that Challenger is indeed Rallye, the seller's asking price doesn't seem too crazy, provided it includes the 340. I think that the Mecum auctions that seem to run every other week give people some greatly inflated ideas as to the value of their cars. When I watch, it seems like half of the cars don't sell because they don't hit the reserve. Then you get the guy who says "I seen one just like mine go for $100k at Mecum." The part that they leave out is that the car on TV was a numbers matching '69 Camaro SS 396 4 speed that underwent a full, professional restoration, and theirs started out as a 327 2bbl with a Powerglide, and the paint is "meh". Great video, tons of stuff about Ford and GM cars that I didn't know.
You are WAY MISTAKEN that the 56 Chevrolet was priced too high.! It looks to be a driver. I watched video from a recent estate sale in Iowa, a 69 Camaro, with no front clip, no fenders, no hood, no motor, no trans, rust cancer in the quarters as big as a basketball. No interior, I can only guess it was a SS, Big block. But $7800. And yet you have a 1956 Chevrolet that runs and drives, for $15,000. What a steal.!
It amazes me that people are asking maybe $15,000 less than an original. Not the original color, no original motor or transmission, but think because it's a clone, of what could have been, that should demand big money. I mean if I put a 396, 350 hp motor and a 400 turbo trans in my 69 Chevelle Malibu, changed the badging, that was originally a 307, 2bbl, 2spd powerglide, I could command $50,000. Come on.
Your knowledge of these cars is amazing
What a pleasure to have a knowledgeable man like you giving us a tour. 👍👍thanks
Thanks for the walk about!
I had planned on going, but life got in the way. I wanted to visit my buddy "Shelby Bill" but at least you stopped by his corner with the Boss 302 n Shelbys. Thanks 😁
You can all thank Barrett-Jackson and Mecam for the high high prices
That's exactly right!
You can also thank all the old guys coming into $$$$ through inheritances; cashing out 401K's , etc. that are buying the cars that they always wanted and not caring that much in price.
Not the auction house's fault people pay too much. Buyers set the market not the sellers .
Plus all these online retailers that bought all the stock up like Gateway Classic Cars
Too many fees
What fun thank you for the tour.
As a young adult during the 70's my friends and I had a number of those cars. Good memories. 1978 my boss at the time a good guy needed to sell his clean 1969 Z28 offered it to me for $4500.00. I did not want to get a loan to buy it. What a loss.
Ouch
Muscle cars in the late 70’s were not worth much. They were very hard to sell.
Early Mustang cowl sections do not need replacing when they leak on the floor. A wad of roofing tar and a coffee can will fix the problem nicely.
Wow, nice weather, I remember it snowing in years past. Thanks for the walk around. Been years since attending. I think prices will continue to drop in coming years.

We both love camaro s
24 miles of crap... my dad dragged me through there for 18 years, every single year. I do miss the big smokies....
High prices? Or is it the dollar is only worth 2/3 - 3/4 what it was in 2019?

The young kids don't want these cars they want the foreign cars. These cars are not part of their generation , they want fast and furious cars.
I thought the 289 2 bbl was a B code and the C code was the 289 4 bbl car.
Got any 63 or 64 Impala’s? TIA
I don't think the 70 gto was carousel red
I believe it was Cardinal red carousel red was mostly on 69s orbit orange was the gimmick color for 70 it was actually a yellow
Not much of a Z-28 without the DZ302.
And the 67s has Mustang in block letters. 68s were in cursive.
I always tell by the fake vent in the front he of the rear wheels.
Crazy prices on cars that are not correct to original specs.
some of those prices are ridiculous
Caveat emptor
Where is the Carlisle automotive swap meet located?
Carlisle, Pa
I will take a new (mustang)(Camaro)(charger, or challenger) less money with air-conditioning power windows, power locks, power brakes, and will take any of those things out of the whole. with the Aceon and I could drive from state to state rather than to a car show.
Good for you!
That was. 1967 SS Chevelle not 66
Will gas be around in 20 years for these cars ?
Will enough electricity be around in 20 years to power all the electric cars, trucks and homes and businesses with all electric appliances and HVC systems?
Cars and part prices are over the top nuts at Carlisle. Went Friday and my neck is sore from shaking my head “ no” all day.

Here's my take on Collector Car Pricing. In the late 60's to mid 70's 18 and 19 year old kids were being drafted and most were trained and sent to Viet Nam. After a year of dodging bullets from the enemy and living in squalor and monsoon rain storms your time came to rotate back to the states, where you went to the PX or closest dealership and ordered the Biggest Baddest Muscle Car available. Then you got married, and the wife couldn't handle the 426 Hemi 4 speed Superbird or the SS454 Chevelle and then the wife got pregnant and you had to sell your "Baby to buy a House and a Vega or Pinto for your new baby and of course the gas crisis of the early 70 killed the big engines. Then later in life, you have a kick ass job, kids are grown and on their own and you would PAY ANYTHING to have your Muscle Car back in your garage. OK that explains the Pricing Peak, it is over and gone. Now we are in our 70's with hip and knee replacements so you can't speed shift anymore, or worse yet you have died, and the kids do not want anything to do with that antiquated dinosaur push rod engine anywhere near their Prius and Teslas. So the prices of Muscle Cars should be approaching their lowest prices since the mid 70's, but they are not, and that is the part I do not understand.
It’s the TV car auctions and TV shows. They are bringing in fringe car people with more money than sense.
It’s also because - as with houses and metals - you have investors flush with cash and few options to earn higher returns. Rising interest rates will read the riot act to these fat cats.
One clue as to whether or not you have a real judge is in the trunk. Most (but not all) Judges had two torsion spring rods to lift the combined weight of the trunk lid and wing. In the days before carbon and other lighter materials, those wings were pretty hefty. I've owned one Judge and three non-Judges. There was a time not too awful long ago, when Pontiac muscle was cheap compared to Chevy muscle.
Definitely prices are out of control!
When you show a supposed 70-74 Chevelle SS show if it has the SS or Malibu instrument panel. There are fake SS's everywhere with the long sweep
I’m amazed on how much add on stuff people are putting on cars to make them a GT, R/T, SS, Z/28, etc when they’re really not, but pricing the cars as if they were authentic!
Yep, shows like this are definitely buyer beware.
As a senior citizen, I feel so bad for todays buyers. Many of these cars were 1500.00 to 2000.00 dollar cars at one time. The Plymouth valiant he showed I bought one in extremely good condition for 500.00 dollars just like it. In 1972 I bought a 1965 mercury comet 4 door six cylinder with no reverse for 75.00 dollars and a junk yard tranny for 35.00dollars. The car had a perfect body and interior. Sure miss those days, when I was in high school my best friend owned a 1967 firebird 400 engine his grandmother bought it for him.
I would love to know how many of these cars actually sold if their price was firm .I’m betting not many
i was there and a lot of car sold from 12k to 25k
Not sure what economy people think we are in with these prices ? this guy is very knowledgable on just about everything with 4 tires thats impressive for someone his age he actually reminds me of me back in the 1980's i😂 i was so into every make of muscle car back then Raceway Park Englishtown NJ swap meets were great back then
Very knowledgeable about your cars. I like how you explained that 68 dodge/Plymouth was the only year with the small round side marker lights. I have explained that to many people myself.
I used to go to spring/fall Carlisle myself in the 1980’s but haven’t been since.
I would like to see more of your videos if there are others.
I was there on Thursday..you answered my question on the Judge and the 56. walked it till I couldn`t walk no more
I know the feeling 😕
I'm happy in my brand new car that costs about $20,000 less than most of these rattle traps and has better creature comforts and fuel economy. I USED TO BE a big time car guy. Greed has ruined the whole thing now.
Greed? 😢
I think you see why the price and value of these cars is coming down- the entire crowd behind you as you walked around the event are all old men…. 😢
That was great. Just enough time spent on each car to give the information, but not to get boring. Subscribed.
Thanks Peter!
It’s a 79 Z28. A Camaro guy should know that! 😂😂😂
The “66 Chevelle” is a 67. 😂😂😂
Thanks for your support man!
i had 68 conv w30 car 4:33 gear 4spd
i picked up 69 hurst olds both cars [need resto
That's the same thing I'm thinking it's when you said the prices of these cars are starting to come down in value and I've been saying the same thing the under 45 crowd doesn't seem to be as interested as the older generation in these cars and more than not it's actually the 55 and older group for most of the pre 75' classics at what point are these cars a hard sell at just about any price? I'm in my early 60's and owned a few 60' era cars and still want stupid money for them currently. How about 30 years from now?
true but the old guys have the$$$$$$
The 70 judge was also available with the 455 HO with or without ram air.
Classic car prices follow used car prices which follow new car prices. When credit dries up, you can kiss these crazy money prices goodbye!
Let's hope so!!
That funky vette is a time capsule straight out of the 70's.
Nice to see Guys your age taking an interest in these classics . Good on your Dad for teaching you about them
Wow that was great. I've never been there, my buddy keeps bugging me to go. I'll stay away now that I've seen the prices.👍
If you know where Ohio Pyle is in pa. There is a garage next to the old train station. The owner worked for the railroad and collected a 69 GTO judge a 1970 GTO and a 1957 two door coupe. They have not seen day light in about 45years. He died about five years ago and his wife is just letting them sit. It's a real shame.
Been White Water Rafting there many times.. and to see Falling Waters
@@backyardbarnfinds would love to see someone rescue them.
OMG, a real 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z 28 and the owner has all these Silly Aftermarket Parts on it??? I’m done! These people are literally DOPES! 😢
Tell your friend Pat, the Charger at 24:00 was the nicest ride at the show. I walked most of the grounds and that car really stood out. I spoke to him briefly about the car. I actually came into that pavilion because of his car. The Barracuda and the Nova were behind him. They were both nice too, but his was flawless. He does nice work.
It does have the wrong seat covers from a 68 for some reason
If electric cars get pushed by government. Your classic or collector cars go up in value just from laws. many semis of older chassis have modern engines for this reason
Like your UA-cam show. Just a few things ! You were able to order a 69 Camero SS with a 396. I believe 3 different ones. An easy way to tell a 67 to 68 Mustang is the steering wheel . 67 has a huge round padded horn center a 68 has a straight bar across. Love the show!
And as well I believe the ‘68 Mustangs had side marker lights & the ‘67’s did not. Let me know if this is correct or not as it’s been awhile since we’ve been around these cars so the knowledge & memory is somewhat faded....
He was stating that an X55 was an SS option CAMARO, that was only available in a 350 engine,x22 and x66 were the SS396 options, hp and trim were difference in those.
Hertz is actually doing that again! Just saw a GT500 the other day!
The black chevelle at 4:03 is a 67. Not a 66
Hell of a job . dig the straight up style and to the point
Thanks for tuning in man!
I have to say that $14,500 for a 318 Valiant put my jaw on the floor.
Thought it worth mentioning that the hood on the blue '68 Super Bee is an aftermarket steel, hinged version of the fiberglass, lift off hood that was part of the the '69 1/2 only A12 package 440 Six Pack Super Bee and 440 Six Barrel Road Runners.
There were no big blocks available in the Dodge and Plymouth E bodies after '71. Even in '70 and '71, you could get a 'Cuda with a 340. Just having a big block did not make a Barracuda a 'Cuda as you could get a 383 2 bbl in a Barracuda, and confusingly enough, the base big block for the 'Cuda was the 383 Magnum, the same engine as the Road Runner 383, in a 'Cuda. The 383 2bbl was rated at 290hp, and the non Magnum 383 4bbl at 330 vs. the Magnum/Road Runner version at 335. The 'Cuda had upgraded underpinnings and bigger brakes compared to the Barracuda, it wasn't just the engine that made an E body a 'Cuda.
The '68 is my favorite Charger, but at $75k I'd pony up a few bucks more and look for an R/T.
If that Challenger is indeed Rallye, the seller's asking price doesn't seem too crazy, provided it includes the 340.
I think that the Mecum auctions that seem to run every other week give people some greatly inflated ideas as to the value of their cars. When I watch, it seems like half of the cars don't sell because they don't hit the reserve. Then you get the guy who says "I seen one just like mine go for $100k at Mecum." The part that they leave out is that the car on TV was a numbers matching '69 Camaro SS 396 4 speed that underwent a full, professional restoration, and theirs started out as a 327 2bbl with a Powerglide, and the paint is "meh".
Great video, tons of stuff about Ford and GM cars that I didn't know.
You are WAY MISTAKEN that the 56 Chevrolet was priced too high.! It looks to be a driver. I watched video from a recent estate sale in Iowa, a 69 Camaro, with no front clip, no fenders, no hood, no motor, no trans, rust cancer in the quarters as big as a basketball. No interior, I can only guess it was a SS, Big block. But $7800. And yet you have a 1956 Chevrolet that runs and drives, for $15,000. What a steal.!
It amazes me that people are asking maybe $15,000 less than an original. Not the original color, no original motor or transmission, but think because it's a clone, of what could have been, that should demand big money. I mean if I put a 396, 350 hp motor and a 400 turbo trans in my 69 Chevelle Malibu, changed the badging, that was originally a 307, 2bbl, 2spd powerglide, I could command $50,000. Come on.
