Has anyone seen the text of the recent e-bay (U.S.) 73 plum crazy Challenger which says "according to Black book international's guide to vehicles of particular interest collectible vehicle guide, values of 72 & 73 Challengers have risen by 21% in the last 6 months"
I know, it might just be made up sales guff, but it points to the reality of overall value increases, reminds me of the time in 1985 when I looked at a good running early E-type Jag roadster for sale for 4 grand (but didn't buy it) and 3 years later it would have been worth at least 40...

Wait till the Dukes of Hazard movie comes out - this should see the value of both the Charger and Challenger soar (with luck).

Not to boast, but on almost every occasion I park my challenger in a public space, I return to find a note on the car from someone interested in buying it. You couldn't say the same of many other cars these days...

Another thing along the same lines; in the early 80's I was into Lambrettas in a big way, a mate of mine and I were in the local scooter club and used to go on rallies etc.
I had a pretty up together SX200 which I bought for 80 quid, a weeks wages for me then, which would sell for 3 or 4 grand now according to an article I read the other day, and if it was absolutely perfect, which mine could have been at very little expense, it could fetch up to 7 thousand.
A lot of it is down to rarity cos we all chopped our scooters down in those days...sorry to bore you with something which I'm sure none of you have any interest in, but the wife and kids always tell me to shut up when I start on about the good old days!!
