Will B-body gain in value?

http · January 18th, 2008, 04:50 PM

Hey!

Does anyone know if one day, the value of the B-body will gain in value?? I think for that it need to be in demand but I think it will never be... But later, sought models will become scarce and more expensive, so maybe in that time, who knows?

And by the way, if someone know how much 1973 Delta 88 Royale 2-doors were made in that years, I would greatly appreciate it! Because I've searched everywhere and cannot find anything!

Thanks!

I don't think B bodies will go up in value drastically. They will continue to go up in price simply because they are old cars; however, I doubt that there will be a sudden rush to buy them.

Yeah, think you're right!

And for a 1975 Cutlass?? Or they will never be as valuable than the older one because they are not in the Muscle car era?

43,315 1973 Delta Royale coupes built per Standard Catalog of Oldsmobile.

Actually, I hope these cars stay affordable. I'm sick of outrageous and unjustified prices on old cars. Right now they're off the investor radar which is a good thing. Means you can still find a nice one and enjoy it without 1) paying too much for it and 2) being afraid to drive it for a stone chip or something. They were as nice a car as Oldsmobile ever built- good styling, nice appointments, great drivers, and mechanically bulletproof. Plus they're still modern enough to not be afraid to trust them on a tour, and if they do break, relatively easy to find parts for them.

Thank you very much rocketraider for the numbers!

And I agree with you, I had not seen that in this way. It's cost about nothing to run and it's still a beautiful car, always loved the style of an old Oldsmobile.

Amen, Rocketraider. Enough of this old car pricing douchebaggery.
Diamonds are just pretty rocks, and Oldsmobiles are just pretty scrap metal. Both wonderful things to have, but c'mon.
