Much like real estate, sooner or later there is a market correction and I can see cars coming down in pricing or "correcting" themselves. Maybe not a '69 ZL-1 but a '69 Z28 I can see going down. Cars that have a couple thousand built isn't as rare as 1 of 69. Those rare ones will always be up there, maybe not as high anymore.

I agree, although the younger generations interest isn’t in honda civics but new and late model American muscle. First of all, the older muscle cars are EXPENSIVE and equally if not more expensive to build as a project. The horsepower most new muscle cars put out now, or the power potential of some of the late model used stuff is just insane. A coyote mustang with an off the shelf turbo kit will make 700 rwhp easily with the factory sealed engine. You can pick up a used coyote mustang for less than some project 60/70s muscle cars will bring, just to put it in perspective. You could also walk into any dodge dealer and buy brand new cars that will run 11s, 10s, or 9s off the showroom floor. These cars will also handle great, and have all the amenities like AC, leather, heated & cooled seats, navigation, etc. I’m not knocking the older stuff at all here, just stating the reason why most younger people are not as interested. Everything happens in cycles. The cars that are gaining steam now are the 80s muscle cars, because the kids who dreamt about them in high school are at the age where they want to relive their youth.
