There's always price qualifiers, nothing new here.

Told you I was rambling, sorry I missed your original idea of an answer.
Want to sell vs have to sell (and every reason in between those two) is the main reason for some prices.
Various other factors are as follows:
Condition and presentation
Color choices (solid vs solid with stripes, black vs red, lime green vs hot pink (YES, HOT PINK), etc)
engine choices (347 stroker vs 385hp/351W, 460/425hp Ford crate engine, 390FE vs 427 sideoiler, etc)
Interior choices (some custom interior upgrades actually hurt the value, or odd colors)
Tire choices (racing slicks vs BFG's, etc)
Stock looking rims vs aftermarket (bolt on vs knock offs as well)
Black painted sidepipes vs powdercoated or jethot coated
Mileage on the build
Chassis # (late vs old)
Those are just the tip of the iceberg (so to speak), there are dozens of other factors that come in to play, especially when dealing with a buyer who is unsure of what he/she/they really want.
Hope this post helps a little further in to your understanding of how I come to the conclusions I've posted some of here.
Have a great day.
