To each his own Neal(no matter how crazy). Consider this, though...you 
used to not be able to GIVE a 58 Impala away, everyone wanted the 
55-57's. Now, I've seen 58's go for 50k! It's all relative to what's 
available. Cars that were rust buckets and not even good parts cars in 
the 70's are now projects because there ARE no more being made. Also, 
you could buy a decent car in the mid 70's for $500, I know cause I 
bought several. Now, a decent PARTS car is a grand! So, while a 64 
Polara may not be the most sought after Mopar right now, you can bet 
they aren't going to go DOWN in value(I hope not cause I have one!).
