Turk,

Given long enough and given enough interest, every car will appreciate. As Johninrsf indicates, much of the apparent increase is inflation. Some maybe true appreciation in real dollar terms.

Unless a person is lucky or clever, other ways of investing money are on average more profitable than the bulk of cars as "investment" opportunities. If you are going to "invest" in cars, you typically need to invest in rare, classic, sought after cars (i.e., true originals). They will appreciate because they can be copied but not be duplicated -- they are one-of-a-kind. Scarity and desireability is key to value. As good as SPFs are, there are already more of them that all the original 31 S/C bodies. Which do you think will continue to have the greater value through time?

I agree with HIQ, my Cobra is an investment -- an investment in life. I will make money other ways that I perceive as more profitable.
