are things really that overpriced these days?

thing is this is NS were they spread salt like no tomorrow and there is salt in the air; the topside is re-painted; wonder what the underside looks like and what it looked like before paint

I'm from Nova Scotia and I have seen many classic and muscle cars which have spent their whole lives in Nova Scotia and they are in pristine condition. Some were never winter driven and were lovingly cared for. Many back in the day were oiled yearly and today are in excellent shape. He said it was always garaged and from the look of it, it is really nice. $20,000 is not out of line for a nice A body. Why do people think good clean A bodies are cheap?
