The buying public has moved on. The enthusiasts are actually very low in number.
On the other hand it seems totally rusted-out XY 500 shell or XA coupe is selling for $5K plus and would require $30K+ of rust repairs before starting a restoration. These cars are beyond economic recovery and many would-be restorers will get burned. Crazy.

Most cars are in low demand in the early on years because they're still kicking around and fresh in people's memory . The odd exception of course but generally .
I'll be surprised if the XW or XY GT's in the mid 70's about five or six years after they were built were really sought after for investment reasons . Maybe only chased to give a good hiding with . The GTHO with only 300 built might have been one of those exceptions similar to the last Sprints .
Only got to go to any car show , ask an owner about their pride and joy and most will tell you they've either paid too much to make any sense, spent too much to make any sense or both but desirable cars will invariably see people pay more than their real worth .
Bit like car pricing being referred to as "How long is a piece of string "
