In my opinion, the market for most C-Bodies is trending up but not hugely so in this country. Large American cars are generally in high demand in Europe because Europeans have long been fascinated the the size, power and gadgetry of our full sized cars. Premium example of C-Bodies command much higher prices in Europe than they do here. This is a fairly specialized market that is not blessed with a real high volume. Collector cars including C-Bodies took a big hit after the financial crisis and have now started a significant recovery but this is tempered by the fact that the age group to which this cars have high appeal is mostly folks at or past retirement age and the "Boomers" are starting to die off and that puts more large cars back on the market. Premium cars will continue to do well, restorations costs are rising which makes project cars less feasible to anyone but a deep pocket buyer.

Dave,You pretty much nailed it.
I like to add that there is a generation of 20/30 somethings that are into the C's.
Some are members here and I had met quite a few at car shows that are passionate about our big cars.
Talented young guns like Wyatt and Nick just to mention a couple they are the future of our hobby.
Other young guns have kids and want to share the hobby with them and have a car that can fit the family. C bodies are perfect fit for that.
Good solid cars or nice original survivors that are coming out lately are commanding good dollars as most of us know that better that car to start with the better the finished result--compared to projects cars.
After market support is still very limited for the C's.
Compared to the other Mopars (that are now priced out of the stratosphere) we still have to work that much harder to restore our beloved C's.
Yet the C's that had been restored and the one still getting restored are setting the bar and are of a higher quality compared to ten years ago. That is getting the attention of organizers and judges at larger venues and car shows. Ditto car magazines.
From there it is starting to pick up steam and the values go up.
Exposure on the world wide web gets the attention of everybody.
Finally, I encourage all C owners to drive them everywhere.
Exposure and recognition from the general public is the best gratification.
They were built to be driven not trailer queens like other high dollar Mopars.
