[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 17021358, member: 141815"] The Shelby is going to possibly appreciate in 40 years, the truck I doubt anyone will care. You have to remember the buyers in the future will be the kids that love the car today. As they grow wealth over their years of life they'll remember what they considered cools cars while growing up and they may decide to hunt them down for toys and investments. I kinda want the Hp of the earlier car but want the luxury of a modern car. This is why I bought a 2013 Shelby new. The 69 396SS I owned was a 375 Hp engine with a few modifications and probably was close to 450Hp, but it had a solid lifter camshaft in it that I was regularly adjusting the valve lash on. I love the rumble of these engines, but as I aged I didn't want the effort it takes to keep one tuned properly. Today the kids that will invest in the future will want Ford GTs, 2019 Corvette ZR1 with a manual transmission or the new Mustang GTD coming out. These will be the rare cars of the future that will be investment cars. I think the S197 and S550 Shelby will be something of a desire in the future but not like the cars with super low production numbers of the others I've listed. The S550 Shelby might surpass the S197 because I think the overall production numbers are lower due to Covid supply limitations, along with the years of production being limited to 3. [/QUOTE]
