That car - along with several of the others that were offered at the same auction - was discussed here previously, but I can't seem to find the thread.

Was this the thread?

That's it, thanks Warren!

I was in a warehouse a few weeks ago... there was a 77 monte - black with Red interior and a few thousand miles on the clock - original tires, and about 1/4" dust on the entire car...

That dust helps to protect it

Wow, '72 is my favorite year, and I had one a LONG time ago. The EX got it... But to call it a muscle car and have it sell for $110k is crazy.

It's a nice car, but I just can't help shake my head.

I'm probably in the minority here, but the high prices on these cars drive me crazy. I mean, it's a regular old 350 powered Monte that happens to have low mileage. Sure, it's not usual for them to have such low miles, but it trickles down until eventually you get people wanting a fortune for a pile of rust.

Were I not fortunate enough to grow up around them, I doubt I'd ever get a chance to even sit in a 68 Camaro, or 67 Chevelle, let alone drive them, because I couldn't afford one.

It also leads a lot of people to bemoan that the younger generation "has no interest in anything outside their phones" which just isn't true. A lot of us like these cars, but what's the point in it when you can't afford one anyway? (It really doesn't help that many people at car shows will just blow me off because I'm younger so clearly I don't know anything in their eyes- I've had it happen and it was even worse when I was younger).

Sorry, rant over. It's something that I've been feeling for a while now. Hope I don't hurt any feelings- I do like this site and from what I've seen on here, you're all good people who have been happy to help me learn over the years.

Well, the market sets the prices and I’d also love for the market to go back to 1990s prices, although I don’t see that happening anytime soon if ever.

I definitely agree that the car show culture is generally a dim spot for the hobby. I am in no way a “young” guy at 42, but I still get the “you weren’t there so you don’t know how it was” BS that would probably turn away a kid who was just getting into the hobby.

I dunno Tony. Anyone younger than one of my kids seems pretty young to me.

It's all relative, you know.

You are correct though; your knowledge and appreciation for the muscle cars PROVES you did NOT have to be there to appreciate the real muscle car culture.

The problem with "market value" is when these cars became "investment" material 20 or so years ago. To me, that killed it for a lot of people and, sorry if I step on toes here, but Barret Jackson is the WORST thing to ever hit this "hobby" with it's millionaires bidding prices to insanity just because they HAVE to win.
