[LS6 RAT]

I don't agree with your assertion of 15 to 20% of original production is all that is left. The survivor rate percentages are way different, depending on the type of vehicle. I would say '69 Z28's or '70 Boss Mustang 302's have a higher percentage of attrition due to the nature of their intended usage, however the more exotic musclecars that had higher price tags when new often were cared for by their owners and thus survived the ravages of time and usage much better.
An example would be the 1971 LS6 Corvette, total production of 188 examples, 12 in racing trim. These cars had an average price that exceeded $7000.00 when new, more closer to $7,418.00. Survivor rate currently is at damn near 50%, and may end up even higher. I've been involved with these cars for over 20years now. I have located 92 of the 188 production and expect to find a few more before I die.
I don't think a generalization of musclecar survival rates percentages can be so easily tossed out there.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I agree with LS6 RAT, and also respectfully disagree on your percentage of remaining production in the 15-20% range.

The '70 Yenko Deuce Nova Registry is now at 87 remaining out of 175 produced, that's exactly 50%.

The '69 Yenko Camaro survival rate is even better, with approx. 130 of 201 existing = 65%.

The '69 Yenko Chevelle is the tough car to find, but the survival rate is still better than 15%. With approx. 30+/- cars found out of the 99, that's 30%.

I think the best cars, with solid paperwork, restoration photos, and #'s matching drivetrains will always float to the top - regardless of clones, and will bring a high price irrespective of 'heart' - they are just the rarest of the rare!

BJ and windfall home equity are primarily responsible for valuations going silly the last three years.When the Wall St Journal does pieces on collector cars as appreciating assets you knew that was the top.The all boats rise with the tide era is over,but the cream will always stay afloat.
