These are reconditioned Wagoneer's, not the ones fully restored by that Norbert guy.

I can't see how these things are commanding as much or more than fully restored classics like 60's Mustang's, Chevelle's, Camaro's, Chargers ect.

Asking price means nothing.
Let's see what has actually sold.

Did you even look at the page? Half of them are listed as sold, or pending sale (deposit received)

I could have bought a used 90 or 91 Wagoneer when they were 6 or 7 years old for probably about 6 or 7k, driven it sporadically to keep the miles low, and it would be worth 40k or more now with 2 or 3k worth of reconditioning and some elbow grease.

You guys are a bit naive.
You can make a fake website and say cars sold for $900,000 if you want.

In reality, these cars can be bought for a few thousand bucks.
Many are selling for under $4000 on Ebay

Yeah....and my guess is none of them are completely original, numbers matching, professionally restored cars either. Of course you can make websites and charge whatever, blahblahblah......but I have a hard time taking any of your "reality" seriously...shocks and 02 sensors, anybody?

I think you're sorely underestimating the stupidity of some people with money.

But yea, those prices are ridiculous, 40 to 60k is insane.

These ebay listings are from 12 to 25k for good condition SJ's.

I too will agree the prices are outrageous, and I wouldn't pay it either...a fool and his money are soon parted

You can get even nicer ones if you spend like $12k.
I can't imagine what sort of fool would pay more than $12k for these old things.

There are people with money, who will spend said money, on what they want. They cater to a certain clientele and I can guarantee that the majority of people on this forum are not them. Hang around in the classic car world and you will learn this fact.

So does this mean my 77 that's been sitting for the last 23 year's is actually worth something?

Why do all these mid to late 80's Wagoneer's have about 80,000 miles on them? XJ's that old usually have triple that mileage.

Wait, he did an o2 sensor thread? I've only seen the valve cover, shocks, and electrical ones.
