Newer muscle is making the mid priced older muscle harder to sell. High end hemi and 440 6bbl cars are not effected as much because guys who buy those cars are not in the market for modern muscle. The competition comes from the guy who wants to drive his hot rod daily and is asking himself should I buy a 30000 383 Roadrunner or 2015 Challenger RT. Challenger does just about everything better, parts are plentiful, and financing available. Unless you are just wanting an old car the answer is clear.
Today’s youth never had to drive cars made in the 80s. The junk coming out of Detroit in the 80s is a big reason the Muscle cars of the 60s and early 70s became popular.
The one thing classic cars of the 60s and 70s have over the newer cars is ease of modifications.
