this all reminds me of those 1970 something mopar piles….inflating prices to cars that cant perform close to any modern japanese sports car that cost a fraction of a Cuda or challenger.Truth be told,I’d take four any kind of skyline or more for the same price as a single mopar crap car.I actually owned a 1970 440 challanger POS.It did have some style points but was a total bore to drive unless you like tire smoke.

The mid aged guys also grew up with these muscle cars at a time when Japanese cars were still seen as cheap imports. Made in Japan was taken the same way made in China is now. I deal with a lot of these “good ol boys” on a daily basis, and they seem to be pretty stubborn! There’s bound to be some heads clashing when the ol boys and the young punks who tell them their muscle cars suck meet!

@Jake-$36,000? Thats awesome! Our favorite cars selling at prices like that is going to help boost the favorable opinion of J-tin.

Did any of you see the 1966 Toyota Corona that sold at Mecum Auction for like $36,000? Granted it was all original with 8,000 something miles on it. But still there is a market developing for our beloved cars that gets alot of support and cred from websites like JNC!

The difference between Muscle cars and J-Tin is that Muscle cars have tons of Mid-aged Guys going thru a Mid-Life Crisis and have the ready cash to spend on their affliction.

I’m quite surprised at how the RHDJapan cars are seemingly hard to sell. I mean you guys have a lot of ppl paying huge prices for US muscle cars, so there’s no shortage of car guys with deep pockets and more heart than head

$20k is cheap for being (one of the) first kids on the block with a rare and desireable car.
