As any car afficionado knows, muscle cars have exploded in value the last 5 years. The rare-er the car, the higher it goes.

However, I have begun to see some weakness in the market in certain areas. Maybe it's a side effect of the housing/lending crisis as Harley is feeling, or was the whole thing just a fad?

I'd like to purchase one, not for investment, but for use. I can wait a year of 2 if they may go down, but if the current slump is only temporary, I might as well buy.

The days of cloning a AAR Cuda, Z/28, or Judge and getting $100k are over. I know the rareest cars are holding value, but what about more of a daily driver? I've seen 69 Chargers with number matching 440's and a few options for $25k. I've seen non-matching big block cars for $20k or less.
