When these guys get too old or start dying off (they are in their mid 40's at best) the cars will drop in value

Whew!!! I'm glad I'm only 37 and I've got a 15 month son that already knows the difference between Dad's cars. I might of been scared into cashing out.
With regard to wheel spinning and getting around under their own power, you really should try to make it to the Reunion:
We could stand to take a lesson from our sports car racing brethren in this regard. They race irreplaceable cars (we're talking 1 of 4 type stuff here, much less 1 of 69) all the time and fix em up when they get busted. It's part of the cars' mystique -- if they don't get raced they go DOWN in value because they are no longer in the public eye. Kudos to the Clarys, Pete Simpson, Ken Boje, Market Hassett, Barnhart, Porterfield and others for living the dream!! And for Holub and Hand for lighting the tires up in the cul de sac whenever they've got unexpected house guests.
