Enjoying the cars of someone's youth or enjoying a special time gone by for those who weren't there, thru the stories and cars of yesterday is priceless---In the end all that really matters are the memories of good times and good friends---Enjoy the 60's/70s while they're here the second time around

Your right!! My '72 Nova was my first car and I have a bunch of great memories. To me, the '72 is just as valuable as my Deuce.

I've restored and/or sold over 20 American Muscle cars over the past 2-3 years and in hind sight, every one sold to cheep. At the time I thought the price was right in line. But, I'd love to have that #'s 66 427 Vette back I sold for 47K or that #'s 69 X77 Z28 I sold for 37K. It seems like, if you buy the right car what ever you pay today will be less than you pay tomorrow. Old car appeal is generational and what ever cars the generation that drives the US economy in general loves will be the hot cars and will continue to be hot until that generation starts to die off (to be blunt about it). Then the next generation and the cars they love take over. God forbid. Right now Baby Boomers drive the US economy so the cars that Baby Boomers love, American Muscle cars are hot and IMO will continue to be so until we all start getting to old and senile to care. I think the big difference now than in the past is that this market is dominated by enthusiasts not investors. People that love these cars. I just can't see a significant %age of these people waking up one day and saying... Nah.....I'm not interested in these cars anymore ...I know I won't. IMO the market will be very viable for the next 7-10+ years. Just my .02 and 100% speculation.

I plan on drooling and changing my diaper in one of mine so no one will want it anyway

That...among 2-3 other reasons people avoid your for sale cars.

Have you guys laid eyes on schoneye He hasn't changed since 1968, (although I think he's leaning more towards Republican now ) He will still be listening to CCR, cursin his shifter, and tryin to figure out which left foot to hit the clutch with - well into his '90's!

On behalf of my good friend Mr. Cumby, and myself, we resemble that.

[ORIGLS6]

Yeah, I've said this a few times lately; "I'm too damned stupid to sell anything". I'll die a pauper and my kids will retire after "the sale"!

Oh well, we're still havin' fun, eh Schonye?

Rick I agree. I remember as a kid it was unthinkable to my parents and people their age that us kids would still be listening to Rock-n-Roll music when we became 40 or 50. It was something you would out grow was the thinking. Truth is, like rock-n-roll, once you've been bitten by the muscle car bug there's no turning back. I swear it's like drugs. A guy can go 25 years without a muscle car, but the craving never completely goes away. Everytime he see's one, he looks. He remember's. He wants.

It's this reasoning that makes me think your going to be seeing a lot of 60-70 year old guys driving '69 Chevelle's as we get older. And don't be surprised if you hear the Rolling Stones or even AC/DC playing when they drive by.
