Those will be the cars that remind them of their youth, lol lol...not a Tiger...

I think you are probably kidding.
Now I would be the first to admit that the muscle car market is a bubble that is fueled by demographics but there is a collector car market for cars based upon a number of factors like history, rarity, beauty, performance, ect...
The values of 20's cars is not fueled by people who remember them from their youth.... for example the Bentleys, the Rolls, the Duseys.... those cars are investments. When the music stops, I wouldn't want to have paid 2 million for a Hemi or a L88 or ....
I suspect the original Cobras, the SWB Ferraris, the 300sls ect will continue to appreciate and the Tiger will also..but because it has no significant race history, something like a Pantera. In any case, I think Rod is right that the Tiger is a original and will increase in value, I am not aware of any mass produced replica that has.
Of todays cars, the Ford GT, the Veyron, the F1, any factory team Corvette or Viper, some of the Caddies, Mercedes, Porsches ect.... it is possible that the 993 will be the 356 of the future.
One of my grandsons is going to get that SPF and if he doesn't kill himself, will have a lot of fun...but the one that gets the 110 hp restored 1959 356A will make some money.
The Civic...I think not.
