Take a look at what's on eBay and look at what the values are doing. A member can't seem to get 9K for a beautiful, 43k mile Santa Clara car over there, yet a rough (rough) '86 FHP sells for 5K?

There has always been demand for these cars. The problem is that more and more people, most of them dealers in one way or another, are showing up trying to flip the cars for a quick profit. Why buy from them if you can find a car that's just as nice from a member or private seller? If they aren't making any $$$, eventually they will go away.

They won't do it here.
