2023 Muscle Car Market Review - Chevrolet Chevelle/Nova/El Camino/C10

High and unchanged asking prices for full-sized 1960s Chevs don’t reflect the tightening market, with increasing numbers of available cars.

Owners often try to recover every dollar spent on a restoration or modification and that is rarely possible, so cars remain unsold until panic selling sets in. Four-door, Australian assembled cars in good condition should manage $40-45,000, with very good 4.6 or 5.3-litre Impala two-doors just $10,000 more.

A modified but attractive Impala convertible early in 2022 reached a hammer price at auction of $115,000 and that was probably the peak of the recent market. The couple of 1970s cars we saw were unlikely to achieve $50,000 and by now might have dipped closer to $35,000.
