The 87 Mustang GT at the beginning of this thread went for close to it's original MSRP. I wonder where the 4th gen F-bodies are.
Part of it for me, I think (maybe not, I don't know), is if I were driving down a suburban street and saw someone washing or working on a car, or something parked on the street in a trendy part of town...am I going to think, "Oooh...that's nice." It's clear what some of those kinds of cars are. There are others I can't imagine thinking that about.
I don't think there are many cars made outside of the 1960s that will ever do that for me. Plenty of cars outside that time period that I find highly desirable, but as their prices go up, my interest tends to go down.
JST and others have mentioned several times tracking what new cars 40-50 year old men lusted after as high schoolers.  |
I'm not THAT much younger than you, but the cars that make me turn my head when I see them are early '90s Japanese "supercars" and clean C4 Corvettes. MkIV Supras are still hideous to me, and given that and what they cost (they never really got cheap) that's probably a good thing.
