Default Re: Visible progress!

I think the special dealer/tuner cars made today are going to be even harder to keep track of in the future because of the sheer number of them being built. Also they are not being as advertised as much. Most just have a little 1/4 section in one of the mags. I've been trying to save up all the magazines with Mustangs being specially built today and I have literally lost track. Saleen, Roush, Sean Hyland among a zillion others. Every month in the Mustang mags there are 4-5 "special" limited production cars being offered. Heck, Roush is coming out with a new car every month comemerating some obscure event or person.

However, I don't think these cars will be as high priced as a a ZL-1 is today because people are buying these cars and keeping every scrap of paper and taking photos and notes. One of the rules the Antiques & Collectibles crowd goes by is never buy somthing for an investment if it has the world collectibleon the box because 10,000 other people are doing the same thing. 25 years from now these cars will be plentiful because people are buying them for future collectibility and are not driving them in the winter, low miles and if they are modifying them further are keeping all the parts they take off. Just read a story where a guy bought a Roush and bought 3 sets of extra tires, seats and other wear items so he can replace them in the future with the correct parts when needed.

I doubt too many guys did this when buying the Yenko's, Motion cars, Hemi Darts or ZL-1's.
