I dunno about that. I mean I wish it was true. Riced out Civics are a dime a dozen. What information are you basing that claim off of?

I think he meant that it costs more to restore a muscle car than it does to rice a Civic. The market for old 60's/early 70's musclecars has really taken off, now that all us baby boomers who remember them fondly from our high school days can buy the ones that are still around and restore them. A real '70 or '71 Hemi 'Cuda convertible will set you back about a million bucks... that'll buy LOTS of stickers, body kits, and wing spoilers.

By the way, for muscle car fans here in So CA, the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA has a musclecar exhibit going now through June 5th. Admission is 10 bucks; the Hemi 'Cuda I pictured above is one of the cars on exhibit.
