Re: Just looked at a 72 and thought it was priced high - are my expectations off?

We're one of the "young ones" in the neighborhood with me at 33 and the wife at 30. The garage houses a very nice 65 mustang and POS rusty 67 firebird project. Outside is my Z71, the wifes 11 Mustang and my 67 C10.
I have old trucks all around me where I live and not any of the cats that have them are over the age of 35. There is a kid and his wife that live one street over with a '56 Chevy 3100, and his wife drives a '70 Nova. There are 2 1965 C10's at the same house on the block I live on. Both are driven daily. There is a '63 C10 (C10 body sitting on later model lifted 4x4 chassis) less than a block away. Lastly there is a '70 K20 at the bottom of the hill on the street that comes up to our area. Pretty cool to see that much old iron still being driven by "young" cats.
