Changing times...the people spending the money now are of a younger age bracket than the average Max Wedge owner. They identify with Pro Touring, and TV/movie cars they grew up with.

My new Challenger T/A that I drive daily gets way more attention from those of similar age to me than my '65 Coronet street beater. I prefer the Coronet, and I'm in the "Under 40" age bracket. I personally enjoy watching the prices tank on these cars, as I was never in it for the money, but the fact that I enjoy early Mopars.
