Has anyone else noticed that used aftermarket parts availabilty has gone up quite a bit? And has anyone noticed that parts sales seem to be way off?

I see longtube headers for sale and there are zero replies. OF course, in many cases, owners are asking 80-90% of retail. They must be smoking crack.

Camshafts and heads are in abundant supply ... but again, way over priced for used parts.

It appears that the mod market might be drying up a tad for this platform. Stands to reason ... it's been out of production for 2 1/2 years. I just find it interesting that parts are becoming more abundant, both retail and used, yet the costs are not coming down.

No, in the 4th gen era we never sold close to what Mustangs did. That's why the Mustang is still in production. Well, that and GM way overpredicted what the F body would sell and built a business case around that volume.
