I'd have to agree with you on most of the pricing except noting that I've seen several nice original near rust free (west coast) cars for sale under 9K (and who know's what they actually sold for?).
Also when was the last time you've actually seen a CS coupe sell for over 20K? ---and CSL's don't count either, especially batmobiles.....
-----------------------------------------------
I was quoting asking prices, but at the lower price end, asking and selling tend to compress since there is less "play" in the price (unless the car is over represented in the first place).
A lot of those "Rust Free West Coast Cars" tend to be less rust free than one might imagine. Mine WAS rust free until I cut into good metal looking for rust and found some.
The difference between an East Coast and West Coast car is quite often that the East Coast car is structurally compromised (as in $BIG to fix, often more than the car is worth) vs. the West Coast car where in 40-100hrs of shop time you can have a very strong, safe chassis prepped for paint that will last another 10-15 years.
