The Muscle Car Market is a very dynamic one. So many factors are in play as far as the value of a particular car. All you need are two people that want the same car to drive the price into the Stupid Money category.
Where's all the money coming from? Day Traders and Short Sellers. They can make $100K and more in a single day. Take the wind fall and buy something you want.
Quality cars will always bring big dollars. It's the next level down where the problems and issues arise. There are too many people in the market who are rip off artists. And like always, buyers are not using logic (get someone who knows the car you are interested in to inspect it) but their emotions. Money is burning a hole in their pocket.
People think nothing of getting a house they want to buy inspected. It's literally a requirement. Nobody wants to get stuck with a bad foundation. But when it comes to buying a muscle car - shiney takes over. Lift the hood - everything is clean and organized. Forget the fact that the Master Cylinder is incorrect or the Brake Booster is a Chinese sub. It looks new!
