[QUOTE="mrmustang, post: 15715290, member: 13150"] Doc, you and I, and many others know the market will eventually collapse in on itself, and those buying such cars to "boost their portfolio" are just fooling themselves. The days of us going out and buying something just because we like it, then flogging it at the track are almost gone (#99 may be back on the market soon, I'm watching for it ) for a large majority of true enthusiasts. Again, lost to those who look at the car as "an investment that can't lose". The older crowd, those with the disposable income to now spend 1M on a 60's car are dwindling, their kids, while some still have a passion for the older cars of the 60's, are also dwindling, instead, they look at the cars of their youth, Honda Accords, Acrua "R" models, NSX's, even Delorean. So to even post what a good investment these cars are to a new buyer in todays market seems a bit ungenuine, unless of course you are the current owner of one, and expect to sell it soon, in which case, that makes perfect sense. Heck, I parted out 12 71-73 Mustangs while restoring that 73 3B Sky Blue convertible for my son. Who then of course sold it and bought a Subaru Outback when he got old enough to drive (go figure) Plenty of "vintage" cars have now been lost forever due to the Hurricanes, as they were from Katrina, some got crushed, some got bought up and await restoration, some now overseas as their salvage/destruction titles prohibiting them from being restored here. The new disasters just bring the whole cycle of life and death for them back to the forefront and into the limelight again. No surprise there, now is there. Bill S [/QUOTE]
