It's doubtful that that will ever be a classic/collector car. Just sayin'.

Although, I'm sure it's a fun car to drive.

I've often wondered what will happen to the entire classic/collector car industry in say 50 years. Will a whole new generation take over the classic enthusiast role? Will anything prior to the 80's be collectable, except for possibly some of the expensive exotics?

Already is a classic collectible in the Mustang world! Only 161 made this color. Last SVT 4.6 DOHC blown Mustang made.

Hmmmm...let me play devils advocate - here's, I believe, the same car for $28,000, reduced to $26K and then to $25.5 - it may have sold at that price.

2004 Mustang Cobra Terminator For Sale (Screaming Yellow Convertible) - SVTPerformance

My guess is that you paid much more - yes, only 161 made - but, used price dropped significantly already - plus the outlook doesn't seem bright for a price increase in our lifetimes - there are ton of 'special' limited production mustangs out there - I doubt that any of them will be truly collectible, meaning (to me) that the price will increase over time.

Sarcasm will not make your Mustang a classic/collector car in your lifetime. I'll give you $5,000 for it, delivered to me in CA and subject to inspection. I'll also need for you to pay the sales tax and license fee, plus a smog check fee. That way, the purchase will be an 'classic' in many ways, for you and for me.

(Sarcasm is just another service that I also offer)


With that said, do you have anything to say about the facts posted above? All I'm saying - your car will never be a classic - it will simply devalue itself as it sits in your garage - I also have two of those type cars - a Lincoln and another Ford.

By the way, you didn't buy the 'stang as an investment, right?

I'm sorry I posted on your thread! I guess every site has to have a person like you! You do post some great things on the JOKE page!!

What did I do to upset you? I simply don't see modern cars turning into classic/collector cars as have cars pre-1980's. I could be wrong - I was just asking why you think that your mustang does and will continue to have classic/collector status.

You've got to have $40K+ in the car and it's now worth $28K or less, so when will you be able to breakeven?
