With the advent of the $100K GNX I see nothing wrong with the WE4 bring half that. The original sticker price was approximately half of a GNX. I will admit that the production was 3 times as many, but you don't see that many low mile t car as you do low mile GNX cars.

Bottom line is no one is bidding so the perception of buyers isn't there yet. Give it time.

And in 1971 you could buy a 340 'cuda for 2/3 of the price of a Hemi 'cuda. Is a 71 340 'cuda worth anywhere near millions of dollars? I think not. Certain cars have a mystique about them and that is a big part of what brings the big dollars. Low production in itself is not going to make a car worth big bucks.

Dang I was just about to use the "buy it now" and the bidding has ended...

I don't think it is fair to liken the comparison of a 340 'Cuda to a Hemi 'Cuda and a WE4 and a GNX.

A fairer comparison is a 440 'Cuda to a Hemi 'Cuda. And this gets us into the pricing ball park. Just as GNX inspires great dreams so does the name HEMI. All boils down to what the buyer and seller can agree on.

'71 340 Cudas don't bring $1,000,000 but they do bring more money than a GNX for the same condition, even though they have almost 10X the production quantity.

I personally don't think a WE4 should bring more money than a GN (just as 340 Barracudas don't sell for more than similar condition 340 'Cudas, even though they are "rarer") but it's only a matter of time before they are all worth much more than they currently are.
