there was a finite # made, so reality is, you can never have more, unless one of these companies that are popping out camaro's and 57 chevy's jumps in, which i here might be soon, then take all the ones destroyed in your local saturdaynight dirt track racing, take into account drunk drivers, cars that were totaled and shredded, then take the high end museums, and collectors, who hoard these rides, the incresaed population, scam artists, hacks, thefts, etc...etc...
i'm lucky to be in area where collector cars are the norm, heck a boss 302 just went by, but i bet there are lots of places, where muscle cars are just seen during cruise nights and shows.
in the muscle car arena, there are way more desirable models on the road than made, very few ss or tri powered, or hemi cars sold, but go to a show, and you'll see many. they say there are about 70% more gto's on the road than were made.
when i was growing up, there was two ss's, and one heavy chevy in my neighborhood, today within a block of my home, there are probably a dozen ss's, several gto's, a dart gt, a cougar 390, two 65 mustang fastbacks, countless corvettes, and the list goes on.
i sometimes think there are more muscle cars out there than were around when i was a kid in the actual era, but i think it's just everything else looks to be a bubble car, so i can see a muscle car a mile away.
remeber when these cars were actually new, many familes could barely afford one car, and if you had two, one was a truck or wagon, and everbody i know that has a muscle car, usually has more than one.
so they are becoming more scarce....
to show you how bad it's getting around here, in these parts, this is considered a good deal, if i had the talent and $, i'd probably bring it home, but these cars are best served by guys like lance-w....
