What happened to the reasonably priced project car?

Young people are discouraged by the cost of old cars, BUT they also can appreciate the fact they can actually work on them! One reason the 60's -70's chevy pickups and stuff like VW bugs are hot right now.
Like said, the prices that the high end muscle cars are bringing keep falling while the lower end cars are going up.
Turd projects for the most part are high because of idiots asking those prices. Just read some of their CL and FB ads.
