I see your point, but kids now are simply doing the same thing that those of us that came of age in the late 50's and 60's - purchase and fix up whatever is affordable. I'm saying that when the current crop of kids get older they will not crave Buick's from the late eighties - causing them to increase in value based on the demand - or practically any other car made since the 70's. Yes, some of them will still be 'fun' to have, but will they increase in value at the same pace as, say muscle cars from the 60's have to date?

Guys will come to my place for Buick parts an walk right buy the Shelby.

I also wonder about this part - once we all pass on, will the next generation 'support' the market for Shelby's from the 60's, Corvettes, etc? Just because we crave them and have them, will they even want them and be willing to pay an increasing price or will the market evaporate - sort of like gone with the wind?
