MCG July1988 Ebodies For Sale

[Jay Bee]

I'm getting rid of all my Mopar Magazines BUT found this relic in the pile. Mopar Collectors Guide July 1988, VOL. 1  NO. 7. It's more like a tabloid newspaper. I scanned and compiled the E body For Sale section for a nostalgic record. Hope the board gets a kick out.

I think I'll call on some of those.  Those sellers must be desperate by now.

I bought a brand new, loaded pickup truck in 1986 and those HemiCudas were priced higher than it was.

And how about that v-code 71 RT convertible - 30k at the time, compared to 20K for the highest priced Hemi on that list.

I'm actually surprised at the prices, seem higher than I would have expected.
Bought my first car, 72 318 Challenger in 82 for $800.
Then bought a 70 Panther Pink 383 N code Challenger in 85 for $300.
The 70 was in all primer and had a 413, but it drove.
I did burnouts for a month, then stripped all the R/T parts to put on the 72, and had it towed to junkyard.
Yeah, I didnt know any better, and the 72 had a perfect body.

Prices for higher end cars like hemis were really starting to go up by the late 80s, but that spike reversed in the early 90s.
They stayed stagnant for much of the 90s until starting to go up again by late in the decade.
I remember going to Iowa sometime in 98 or 99 to buy a fender from a guy there who sold Mopar parts and flipped cars.  While there I saw a 70 hemi Challenger, F4 green, auto, NOM, which if memory serves he wanted $37K for.  I drove home scheming about how I could scrape up that amount of money and where would I keep it.  I didn't resolve those questions sadly, and by the early 2000s that car would have been worth 100K as prices really started to take off again.
Which continued until the great recession in 2008 when the market stalled out and even went down some.
Around 10 years ago it started to really go up again.
So that is my recollection of Mopar price trends for the last 40 years.
