Great car even brought good money in this perfect storm of a bad time to be selling a car.

Well glad to say I was wrong/low. Car was down from it's fall bid but still pretty strong money.

I visited a guys farm in Central Ontario 15 or so years back - who had 4 barns full (and I do mean FULL of very collectable cars) packed in so tight you couldn't get in between lots of them! Saw a lot of R code aluminum front end Ford stuff and lots of big Wedge and Hemi cars as well!
In the back of one barn he had a black LS6 '70 Chevelle SS convertible - perfect white top and interior - with cowl hood and flapper/white stripes, 21000 original miles sitting on 4 flat original lettered tires. I was told it had an M22 trans and 4:10 rear.
It was very dusty from sitting in there but looked perfect body-wise and I was told after some marital issues he sold most all of the cars and I always wondered what happened to that Chevelle.
I always regretted not noting the VIN - would be interesting to know where it finally landed and for how much!

I see these quotes all the time. I don't have a crystal ball. Depending upon your time horizon, you may be right. Maybe I should invest in silver. I don't know the future. But I do know history.

People started pushing gold and silver in the 80s.

Let's say I invested $477 in gold in Dec. 1982 (just happens to be the spot price that month). I held it all these years, and now it is worth a tick under $1900 (current spot).

Silver is virtually the same (different numbers, same ratio). Worth about 4 times as in 1982.

Had I invested $477 into a dow index fund, with all the dividends reinvested over the years, I would have approximately 960 times my initial investment, or over $45,000.

The market is hard to stomach sometimes. Sucks when it is down. But it is up about 70% of the time.
