    I think they are getting more popular now because they were not popular a few years ago.....what I mean is, there are tons of Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles , etc that were fixed /restored a few years ago that almost flood the cruise nights and "collector car market". If someone wants to be different a nice Maverick or Comet gets the attention faster than another red Camaro with black rally stripes or Mustang with Magnum wheels (yawn). Not that the Camaros and Mustangs I am speaking of are not nice - its just that popularity is not always measured in mass numbers.

    Ebay has changed the way it list the results of a search. Now they show the items from eBay stores in with regular auctions. Those items were there all along, but if you didn't seach eBay stores you didn't see them except at the bottom of the page, and then you only seen a sample with the option to search all stores. I wish they would go back to the old way, most of the store stuff is WAY overpriced!

    I guess that settles it, I'll get my application for the MCII in and hopefully someone will live near one that eventually shows up, as there is never a rust free one ever in NEW YORK! LOL:lolup:

    The ebay stores bore me. But I still peruse them cause they just might have that super duper deal.
