I just checked Ebay, and there are several restored chevy nova's selling for $40k+ on there, and lots for $20k+. I've never understood the fascination with muscle cars -- to me a 70's v8 car is a $1000 car at best, because it's out of date, gas guzzling, impractical, etc... not to mention awful styling. Would I pay $50k for a VW bug... no way (I might do the conversion myself if I had the cash though). But, a restored EV bug is worth more than some old cars that do sell for a great deal, in my opinion.
