I'm in the younger demographic, younger than most involved in this hobby of musclecars. Everyone I know in the same group likes these cars, but not interested in purchasing one or even learning a whole lot about them. This includes the concept of #s matching or low production figures. When I discuss the market of these cars, they shake their heads in disbelief. "That's crazy" is a common description.

If they were interested in the purchase of one of these cars, I would feel safe to say that they wouldnt be interested in a 6-figure perfect resto car, and surely wouldnt have it only to let it set in the garage which is where many of these cars end up.

The guys (28-35 years old) that I am friends with also love muscle cars and we all have multiple cars. Most of us have had them for a while, some since high school. The prices have gotten out of reach for all but the most fortunate, but then again that is what adds to the story of the cars, everyone remembers when the cars were around for cheap $$$.
Or we knew someone who drove one...etc.
Some of the more obscure or lesser known muscle cars will probably be the losers in all of this... the also rans.
The popular cars, the documented car, and the original cars will always have a following.

Think about it... the prewar cars with Mystique are the ones that still bring the big $$$...
It will be the same thing for the muscle cars, the ones that have Mystique or a large following those will be the ones that that will be collected in the future.
