Amen!

It took me about 12 years to find a 1964/1965 Plymouth with the
wrap-around rear glass.  I don't make a lot of money, so I needed one
reasonably priced that was really, really solid, as body work is my
automotive weak point.

I finally found a 1964 Fury last May, and immediately started tracking
down parts.  When I was a kid, this was the best part of fixing up an old
car!

I went into eBay shock!  One example I can't forget is $37.00 for a PCV
valve.  And it sold!!!

The price of parts for these awesome old cars is destroying the fun for
me.  I can't afford the insane prices.  These cars are not Hemi Road
Runners or Shelby Mustangs, so why so much for parts?

I've just learned to suck it up and push back my restoration schedule by
years.  I will not surrender my car, just because some rich guys have
inflated the parts market.

Curiously, the value of these cars when finished does not nearly justify
the price of the parts.  How strange is that?
