    I’m not sure anything other than ultra rare (expensive already) will increase in value. Us Boomers are nearing “the end” and the next generations probably won’t have the money for optional purchases. The middle of the road fun collectibles today may not have much of a future market. Then also, tastes change. When I was a kid in the ‘60s old Model A and T Fords were the thing. Now it’s classsic muscle cars. Next? Who knows.

    Maybe talk to your kids – is a collectible car something they’d cherish as a part of inheritance?

    Sorry to be so pessimistic!

    sparkey, your comment reminded me of some of the conversations I’ve read on EPA from guys talking about the older farm tractors (and other articles elsewhere) how the older tractors are a bit of a hot commodity right now. It might make sense to have one or two which are on the functional/practical/useful side rather than the ‘show tractors’ and they might become more valuable than a rare sportscar?

    Like you said, though, “tastes change” …and then there’s all that .gov restrictions stuff to factor in.
