re:buying trends
I'm going to disagree with you Mr. Semko on the trend of boomers gravitating (i'm paraphrasing) towards 'muscle cars' etc. due to age or what not. I think its much easier than that. The big collectors gravitate towards low production cars with proven race history whether its drag racing, or FIA etc. Hemi, Callaway, Shelby, Yenko, ZL-1 etc. is simply pedigree and pedigree brings top dollar for the collector. I'm not trying to pick a bone here but I'm just commenting on some general thoughts by many that it sucks to be a pedigree whore etc. I can't say one way or another b/c I don't have a Cobra or a collectible but I know some people that do and unfortunately, right or wrong, pedigree, exclusivity and *gulp* flash (display) helps with any sale. Just my .02. I went to the auction with a guy that is only wanting a Cobra to complete his collection of Shelby's with big blocks. In his mind, glass is not an option and neither is a 289 as its too common, from his perspective.  I personally love the hell out of the 289 and thought the SAI display was damn good looking. regards
