Default Re: Undervalued cars

A lot of what got the musclecar craze going in the '80s and '90s was the fact that these cars were only built basically from 1964 to 1970. High insurance and emissions standards effectively killed performance until the mid '80s when it slowly started to come back. There wasn't anything from the factory with performance during that time so the old Musclecars were it and the demand took off. Today, as in the '60s performance increases every year. Nostalgia won't set in until the factories end the hp race or some unforeseen event does it for them. Who's interested in yesterday's car when tomorrows car is even better. If the old cycle repeats itself, it will be the top dogs demanding the top prices just like the first time around.
