If you ask me, it went nuts over 20 years ago.
I constantly wish it was back in the day. Nothing grinds my gears like hearing someone brag that they bought a muscle car for $500 back in the day. Thanks for reminding me those days are dead and all most of my friends can do is look at this stuff wistfully.
I don't know, what I'm typing here and my actual thoughts are a touch different, as out of respect for everyone here I'm toning it down, but the whole "collector/investor" mentality has never sat well with me. I realize that puts me at odds with many here (although I hope it's 'agree to disagree' odds) These cars were built to race and destroy tires at a decent price for a new car at the time, not sit in a bubble or get trailered from auction to auction while people speculate on them. Hence why my signature ends the way it does. The most fun I've ever had is wringing these cars out. That's why my grandfather bought them and that's why I always admired them.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
