There are different measures of collectabilty vs popularity. While they are very collectable and well liked, as that auction shows, that era is just too rare and expensive to be the next 67-72 in my opinion, especially in the midwest and east. One of the key things to the popularity of the 67-72's is the strength in numbers. I've been casually watching for an authentic pre 67 4x4 for a long time now and nothing is around here under 10,000 and there have only been 2 in the same number of years around here. Even 2wd's are practically nonexistent here.

Trucks like the GMT400's don't have the numbers problem and many of the younger guys have good memories of them as kids. That is what got many of us 67-72 fans started
