[quote=flu][quote=zk][quote=permabear] But will today’s 20 somethings give a crap about a 1960’s Camaro in 2050? Probably not, except for esoteric millionaires.

I have a 1967 Firebird Convertible. I was driving it through the neighborhood the other day and some teenagers were standing around as I stopped at a stop sign. They said, “Is that a Gran Torino?”
For those who don’t know classic American muscle cars, those two are about as similar as a Fiat Spyder and a Mercedes S class. So, yes, probably today’s 20 somethings won’t give a crap about a ’60s Camaro in 2050. They won’t even know what it is.[/quote]
Not true. I think there will always be a market for unique, limited run classics. Just go checkout Barrett Jackson auctions…
Personally, I’m not into classics, because cars are meant to be driven…And a true classic in my hands would get trashed…I prefer limited production high performance vehicles that can be driven…Trying to locate a Ur Quattro as a project car myself…. Garage space is an issue though..However, I figure I’ll deal with it if I can ever find one in the U.S. to begin with.[/quote]
I guess I had best think of this very long term then.
