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.

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?

The worst time to get in on any "investment" is when people who know nothing about what they are investing in are touting the praises of said investment.
Just like my stock broker told me... "The time to get out of an investement is when every where you go you hear someone talking about how much money they are going to make on this or that" and the time to get is "When every where you go everyone is bitching about taking a beating and saying they are not going to put their money in this or that ever again"
BUT I will reiterate what has already been said... the people who know what they are buying are not going to be hurt IMO... it will be the people who are blindly buying mediocre (and I use this term loosely) "restored" cars with "matching numbers" that will take the biggest beating. I have had people who know nothing about muscle cars call me and say I found so and so and it is priced 10k less than what I am seeing on ebay or where ever. Then I look at the car and it is the wrong color, everything under the hood is painted black, it is missing the smog, not the right carb... and the list goes on...
What they fail to realize is that if you don't know what you are looking at then you had better find someone who does and you are better off paying 20k more and buying a known car with verifiable history and everything correct.

Muscle cars are like art you don't buy them as an investment you buy them because you like them, if they make you money that is just icing on the cake.
