Yes, the prices for these cars are coming down. The older folks that used to own them are now passing away on a more frequent basis, thereby increasing the available supply of these rare cars. And the pool of available buyers is also shrinking too since young people don't know much, if anything, about them. Plus restoration costs are quite high.
But the really nicely restored examples will still command decent prices. They are amazing cars in that Chrysler was able to build them as specialty models in the first place in such low volumes.
Bucket list car... but @$60k I would still need a second mortgage... I will remain happy with what I've got.

I was at the Ford garage last Friday on my route and one of the techs was reprogramming the blind spot sensors on a brand new unsold pickup truck. F-350 4 Door platinum package... stickered out at a staggering $79,600!!! How can they justify asking that kind of money for a pickup truck that will be worth half that in three years?
This car on the other hand, is a work of art on wheels and worth every dime. Though markets change I doubt it's value will drop by half in the next three years or ever for that matter. Chances are pretty good it will go back up again.
If I had the money, it would be in my driveway.
I can only dream.....

Found this via the same site... I'm thinking what's wrong with it? $19,900 seem too good to be true. I love these Imperials.

A friend of mine just bought a '60 Caddy 4 door hdtp in what appears to be very similar condition and paid 15k so...
One of my favorite cars. Wish I had the money.
That is completely insane! Those cars in that condition can't possible be worth so little. I was going to restore my 2 door 1960 Imperial, which needs a complete, but I would be money ahead to buy that one and part it to make my 2 door just as nice. I find this hard to believe! Maybe the market is much worse than I thought for these!
Thanks for sharing that one.

Wish I had the cash.... of course he may be the Lakeland Lash of the Midwest! Lol, but I doubt it. Someone would have to lay eyes on it. But I sure like what I'm seeing!

Nice F. I don't mind the black inserts on the seats either. From an outsider looking in, I would have thought that old American ( in particular ) car prices are on the increase....

Everything I've seen that guy offer is way overpriced, and his ebay listings never sell - I'm surprised he doesn't want $30k for that Imp.

Hey SixtyF -
I see you are in NZ, don't know why I didn't notice that before. Are you near Auckland? I sold some parts to a Michelle that lives there, for her 71 Monaco, her BF had a 57 or 58 Fury - do you know them? Maybe NZ is a big area but car-folks are usually well connected. Sold her that stuff 15 years ago but we still have periodic email contact from it after all this time. (cars bring people together - the best man at my wedding became my best friend simply because of a car)
