Not so familiar with the 50's cars but the Aussie 70's muscle cars are going bezerk down here. Genuine Phase3 XY Ford GT Falcons are fetching $300K or more. A regular GT Falcon will go for silly money (It's just a V8 powered family sedan after all).

About 10 years back I sold my old Holden Torana XU-1 replica for $2K and I see the other day even replicas are now fetching $10K -$15K.

I bought a 1970 Monaro coupe for $1000 in 1990. The same car these days is going for $20K-$30K. I turned down a really clean 73 GT Falcon in 1991 for $6K and the the same car today is selling for $50K.

Will we ever see the same thing happen with our current crop of cars? Will people in 30 years be saying the same thing about a 2007 Mustang or Corvette?

Cheers
