Just coming back and wtf is the pricing?
I use to float around here allot and even picked up a few FC's here. My question becomes is the current "fair" price @ 8500? SERIOUSLY? it use to be 3,500-4k what the hell changed so much to spike the prices? Perfect FC's were going for 5-5.5k Now fucked ones with clearly poor compression rings are going for 8k!?!?!??!

I paid $6k for a clean turbo ii shell. Granted it had a few goodies on a pallet next to it.
I honestly havent seen any for sale lately though around me, they really aren’t very common anymore.

You just have to look harder is all. I picked a few of these up for free in my day, but now one that should be free costs $1000 and is an aborted V8 swap / train wreck sitting in some hillbilly's back yard. You can still find a good driver for under $5000. Low mileage, GTUs, and Turbos in good shape can go $8000 +. I saw a crazy person on ebay asking like twenty-something thousand dollars recently for a FC.
They are getting so rare around here it seems every time I drive one of mine I get questions at stop lights and gas stations.

They are becoming harder and harder to find in a stock and unmolested condition. A lot of FC's have been destroyed over the years by this stupid Fast and Furious trend, and many have been neglected and left to languish. With the supply of good FC's to choose from ,we see prices increase. I agree with the above that ones we would get for free or next to nothing are actually now ovepriced garbage that we are forced to have to clean up should we want something decent at a reasonable price. People complain because their FC is worth nothing and is not a collectible classic and when the prices are up people complain that the prices are too high. Its a never ending viscous circle.

High prices arent so much a bad thing either. It means they're less likely to be bought for dirt cheap, a abused and unmaintained until they're sent to the scrapyard. They're starting to see owners with the intent and funds to restore them as an investment. While prices are up and quantities and down, I expect the average quality of these cars to continue to go up.
