Back in the late 2000s I had seen prices as high as $500,000+ for ultimate examples with the best options & colors with all the stories straight. I agree the market has since cooled off considerably for these cars.
My personal opinion is that this is partly due to some novice buyers being unaware of how crude and uncomfortable these cars are by today's standards, especially once restored.

very few if any 'novice buyers' buy into numbers matching high end BB market. For those that do 'crude and uncomfortable' is all but meaningless, collectability is all that matters.
Remember this, of the 20 L88 cars produced in '67, which of the 100 for sale today would you like to buy !
