true...Cs were family cars in the old days .....times that went bye bye long ago ......now a C-body still re-captures a time thats gone same as any HEMI car. in fact a C would more likely re-capture a time long past better than a HEMI bcoz more ppl had memories in C-bodys and cars like Wagons, and six cylinder darts ....all were undesirable at one time but its a new world now and to try to re-capture days long past is getting harder and harder with streets full of modern pimp cars and plastic junk now. so makes sense why C-bodys are getting more popular and desirable now
This is exactly why I see things as completely opposite. Taking, for example, 1970 as the middle of the C bodies we deal with here. Now who exactly drove them back then? I remember clearly who drove them because both my grandfathers drove them. One Dodge and one Chrysler. They were 60 in 1970 and I was 16. Guess what cars I wanted at that age and what still draw my attention today? That scenario hasn't changed for any 16 year old over time.
So who is going to buy these cars. The people who owned them? Nope, their dead. Their sons who rode in them? Nope, they are in their 80's now. The 16 year olds who rode in them as grandchildren? Maybe just a few since, like me, I still long after Cougars, Mustangs, Torinos and Chargers. Fewer still will settle for a big car, like me, since I LIKE cars period. However, a big car is a problem as there is really no aftermarket infrastructure. That will deter a few of those who might think of a big car compared to the great ease of finding stuff for a Mustang and Camaro.
A 16 year old teenager is very impressionable and naturally they will fixate on the cool cars they see at the time they are 16. My two nephews were born in 1982 and neither is interested in cars from the 60's to mid-70's. This despite me and despite my brother. Where did they go wrong? They didn't they just want what they grew up around and want what require, shall we say, less work to maintain. Another reason is they can't possibly take care of or drag around two cars at the age of 30 and single. So, in my opinion, the window of buyers would be those born between 1960-70 or 42-52 years of age. More near the higher end of that range. That is not a big market and they have kids going to college. Even you say "recapture days long past" which would be hard to do if you weren't born yet. So who is left to recapture them?
Now if there were more people like Polara71, a contrarian, you might have a larger market. Of course, I'm not sure we want to go there...:hehe:
