Hot rods are stupidly over priced.
Back in the 50's kids who couldn't afford corvettes and jaguar e types...
So they made do with the old 1930s cars they could afford.
They were poor so they made their 1930s cars into poor imitations of cars like the ones you see at the top.
These days people are actually willing to pay more for a hot rod than a genuine performance car of the 40's or 50's... that mind you kids with hot rods would have refereed if they had more money.
This is just fucking dumb.

I am just saying a hot rod should cost like 10-20k max.
It's dumb to spend that much money on a hot rod instead of a proper vintage sports car.
Back in the 90's, kids who couldn't afford supras and NSX's...
So they made do with the old 1970's cars they could afford.
They were poor so they made their 1970's cars into poor imitations of the carsick the one you see at the top.
These days people are actually willing to pay more for a hotrod than a genuine performance car of the 60's or 70's...that mind you kids with hotrods would have refereed if they had more money.
What OP doesn't realize is that these "hotrods" are worth more than their genuine, original counterparts because of the huge amount of money put into restoring and performance mods
It's scarcity due to time. You can still build a fox body for $10k, but in sixty years foxes are going to be expensive as fuck, if only because there will be so few of them left. I'm not sure why you don't understand this simple concept.
>the market value as determined by supply and demand is wrong!
Only difference is 1970s cars aren't poor imitations of more modern cars unless you bastardise them by fitting more modern engines, wheels tyres and brakes.
Also 240zs aren't more expensive than more high end sports cars of the same era.
>Huge amount of money into restoring them and parts.
And what their performance counterparts are free to restore?
Get a civic. That's the hot rod of your generation.
Shut up
