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

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.

You know John P and I were laughing about this not long ago. I listen to the same music as when I was 14, still love muscle cars, looking at hot babes, eating good food and swearing. And I always will...I don't think my Dad did that...but I'll take my final nap still doing this stuff..Oh and Steve...my cars are legendary...when they leave my house they are always worth less than what I have in them !!! As long as your scrawny butt is around to fix them the world will be fine...kind of our own special yin and yang !!!

i'm on the diving board, and i'm coming in!!! as someone who is very young (28) in this hobby i see this in this in the immediate future.. you guys who were 18 in 1968 are somewheres around are 56ish, 57. 1968 was right before the apex of the musclecar boom. i would estimate your buying power will last well into your mid-sixties. the cars will become to fast for you and it will be time to sell. however, you will be selling to people of my generation which will not have enough consumers for the products being sold. i'm going to scoop up your Yenkos, Hemis, 442's, Judges, and BB Mustangs for pennys on the dollar. however, gas will be $20.00 a gallon and i will be to poor to drive them. of coarse i'm saying all of this tongue-in-cheek! you old geezers will still be flying around in your SuperCars and I wont get a chance to buy them until i'm in my late 50's. putting me very close to my geezer years. since i dont like tuner cars i will be driving around in my (soon to be purchased) 2001 Roush Mustang and wondering why i cant afford to drive my classic iron. seriously though, i feel buying power will be strong for the next 10 years and then muscle cars will fall victim to the Model A's and Tri-5 Chevys that sit in garages because there not whats in right now.

Well...the only real geezer on the board that I am aware of is Steve Sandlin..

Alot of these old geesers are old enough to be my father! And my son and daughter say they got dibs on my cars in 20 years. I better get back to work because I won't be retiring on muscle car money.
