80? - I'm 10 years behind you.
The only way I will stop driving is when I can't push down the gas pedal anymore.

Model T's got very cheap when that generation died out.
The muscle cars are a different breed. Flashy colors, big motors. They will a;so be popular with the next generations - only if they can afford to own one.
At this rate of price increases, all the good ones will be for display only.

I agree 100% - give a kid a ride in your muscle car.

Hope we can still find gas in 20 years.
You could always pull out your Hemi, and drop in a Turbolectric special.

Race fuel will be availble for quite awhile. I can't imagine electric cars at a NHRA event.

I think that the "Ts" and such died down because you are pretty limited as to where you can drive them. Brakes and speed keep them off the major highways and you can't just pull into any parts store for repairs. On the other hand, the musclecars are modern basic. You can go anywhere at any speed and pull into any NAPA store for repair parts. Pretty well any mechanic can repair them as well. We're putting a later LT1 in our el Camino so it even has the potential to meet modern emission standards. An LS1 would be even better. Barring restrictive laws or lack of fuel, I don't see the musclecar era vehicles disappearing very quickly, especially if potential buyers ever get the chance to ride in one.
