Future collectables

I agree with you young Mr. Hassett. I have 4 boys ranging from 18 to 27. They all like my 69 Z/28 but would never really want to buy one. My one son is in the auto parts business and he tells me he will beat me all day with a rice burner. When my kids look back on their youth it won't be the cars there fathers drove. It will be rice, Cavaliers and Neons. That is the way it is. I also predict that you will be able to buy these very expensive muscle cars we have today a lot more reasonable 25 years from now. I may be wrong, but I don't think any of my guys or their friends will spend 500,000 for a hemi cuda or 300,000 for a ZL1. I don't think the Japnese cars have much collectability but I don't think my kids generation much cares about that. They just want to go fast! Sam

Right on the "money"- no pun intended. You are 100% correct. Cars are most likely a generational thing, and no doubt the time of the supercar is right now. Later- we will not care this is our time now. I happen to see both sides. It is a neat to appreciate the current gas price driven small displacement performance movement - and also contrast that with old school Detroit muscle. I like them both, however I cannot get the sound of 7500 RPM from a small block chevy out of my head. Perhaps that is why I like the Supercharged B series Honda because it (like the early Z-28's) will Rev it up.
