[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 13568009, member: 134833"] I'm an investor at heart Sir, and do not make a habit of buying bad investments or purchases for that matter. Your post is pretty spot on and I was going to get into a lot of that but my post would have been even longer than it is now! While what you say is true about the market, the difference is with a car there is only a finite supply of them. In the case of the 2013/2014 Shelby that total number will be approximately a max of 10,400. Unlike Ford stock, Ford won't ever issue these models again. Now the incredible uniqueness of this paricular car over any others before it (and probably after it) is explained in detail in my first post but ultimately comes down to its specs, limited short production cycle and being the last cars Shelby himself had any involvement with. As far as the collectibility of the 60's muscle cars goes, it is extremely easy to see what happened there. Those cars were purchased up new and for the most part underappreciated (they were extremely modified, wrecked, stolen, etc.)...kind of like much of the folks on here today Huh. Then the 70's came and so did performance. The 60's cars and their performance (at least acceleration anyway) weren't topped until the late 80's. By then you had the generation who grew up with those cars new fighting over the examples that were left over. Before long ANY 60's Mustang or Corvette became a classic with the rare performance models even more collectible. But alas, folks ultimately want cars of their generation and by the 90's no 60's car could really keep up with the high powered variants of the modern day muscle car. The values in those old cars have plateaued. While I do believe people (as they grow older, retire, have more money) want to purchase and aquire the cars they remember when they grew up I believe many will look past the cars of the 80's, 90's, and 00's to the cars being built RIGHT NOW. We are in the Golden Age of cars again and it will not last forever. [/QUOTE]
