I mean this with no disrespect but when the older generations pass away will the vintage car market collapse and will there be any market value to these cars?
JDM is more likely to collapse before historic vehicles that revolutionized their respective segments will. it's like expecting fine art to be worthless just because past generations die. they just get past down to the ultra wealthy of the new generation who will know their value and demand the same money. the only thing that might come down, is your basic bitch mustang because there are so many of them. but original shelbys, hemi cudas, C2 Z06s and C3 ZR1, these are never being cheap.
ObviouslyThe 1960s had the last non gay, non cucked cars.
>>29019540Wealth inequality is too high. The rich just have a LOT of your hard-earned money to throw at anything rare. It's not just boomers who want these things, the ultra-rich want things that you can't just buy out of a store. A new Lambo says "new rich", while a classic says taste.
you'd almost be better off staking your claim on the newer vintages.
>>29019540Just like Harley's most people I see driving cars like these are mid 30-50 years old. The values will only rise as the numbers dwindle.
I feel like there's still plenty of interest in 60s/70s muscle cars, even with "younger" people. I've seen plenty of 30-40 year olds buying them.Now stuff like late 50s chebby, they will drop like a rock, I haven't seen anyone under retirement age give two shits about those.I do find it interesting that you can pick up a pre-war car for a fraction of the price of modern popular vintage cars. Like some old 30s nut and bolt resto Great Gatsby looking shit can be had for like one fifth of a 60s muscle car.If I didn't already have a moneypit, I'd honestly probably pick something like that up, just fuck seatbelts, fuck safety glass, we rolling around like the Anthill mob *awgooga horns in your path*
>>29019592The pre-war stuff is just too impractical, unreliable and has no parts availability.
>>29019592Prewar cars never hit the status of 60s muscle cars because no matter what you do they just FEEL old.A 1965 with a factory restoration feels.like a dated modern car.>>29019571And the elite class is growing.Covid minted 66 new billionaires. When you look at the tech sector and all these Bob's and Karen's pulling in $200k a year just to tell 30 other Bob's and Karen's how the quarterly outlook is shaping up over a zoom call you wind up with a lot of excess stupid people with money to burn.
>>29019540No.That car will always be collectible. The 2026 Mustang BLM will not be worth anything in the future as it is based on technology that will be quickly obsolete.Good luck with your V10 Toyota and nybrid McClaren.>>29019571Man, I hate to sound like a commie but this is true. How is could they create someone retarded enough to buy a $400,000 Mustang?
>>29019540I think it depends on the segment but certain markets like classic muscle will always be high as giraffe pussy for years to come. There's simply too much nostalgia and style in those old cars. Your typical "numbers matching" cars out there are usually 1 off optioned out special orders and those owners are gonna stay proud and not let shit go for cheap. Deals will be out there for sure but don't be surprised when the boomers are gone that some idiot still dressing like a greaser won't let his old big body car go for even close to a fair price.
>>29019592I'm here, my 1931 ford model A pickup got a late 31 full steel roof because the dumbass patrons tried to haggle my 57 yr old dad will potentially attempt to get a 39 ford rear end and some drums from a fading flame of a man. I really hate that the division of manufacturers is just outrightly spite or vitriolFuck it we ball, I won't spare undue mercy that was misbegotten with old world rules
>>29019540I hope so. fuck computer bullshit. I want cheap vintage kino.
>>29019540Depends on the level of vintage, I think a lot of the early computerized fuel injected cars of the 80s and 90s won't hold their value as well as purely analog 70s and 80s carbureted cars
>>29019540These cars, unlike previous generations of automobiles. These are capable of being driven on modern highways and have plenty of parts availability
>>29019673>70s and 80s carbureted carsBottom of the barrel.
>>29019540Mustangs and Chargers will still sell for a lot to other old people. Cars that weren't the star of a tv show will sell for normal prices about $3000 to $8000. I've seen it, you see an old car at the auction and think cool for being old but its not instantly recognizable. Even pretty cools cars like old Jags, Toyota Crown you struggle to sell them.>>29019592Even if you get the car for free there is still a pretty big cost of storage and maintenance. It can be a bit of burden so sadly some of them end up at the junkyard and the owner of the place acts like a dick if you ask to buy it.>>29019605I'd love something like an old 1930's Buick. You would just have to make your own parts.
>>29019711Even 70s/80s bottom of the barrel is better than modern slop
>>29019762Absolutely.But they are quite ugly and looks drive collectibility.
>>29019656is there more to this than just being clutch lyrics
>>29019605Impractical and unreliable are true, but model A’s have a ton of support behind them
>>29019608we're pulling in 200k a year and living the lives we want while you're broke and complaining and we're the stupid ones?
>>29019772they look pretty good to me. never was a big fan of the tailfins and whitewalls, teebeehaych.
>>29019540yeah i think classic cars are going straight to hell, along with the boomerniggers who worshipped them.
>>29019540The "timeless" models such as Model A's, MGB's, Mini's, etc., etc., will probably live on for decades, but the vast majority of cars that exist with no greater audience beyond those that remember them will likely have a slow and painful decline as their owners die off and no-one picks up the baton. Pic rel, I was the youngest owner at this gathering by at least a couple decades, and the only bloke that seems to be making the hard to find parts for these things, such as trim panels and rubber seals, is in his 70's; it really doesn't bode well for the future.
The market stabilizes itself.Today a '65 Mustang fastback was t-boned by a Ram 1500.Yesterday it was a '69 firebird.Tomorrow it will be an El Camino and day after that it will be a Gran Torino.Every year less people are interested in them but every year theres less available.
Man, I don't care about ANY of this fag shit. Enjoy that crap guys
>>29021256
>>29019718Old jags don't sell because trying to keep them running will make you want to commit crimes against humanity
>>29020873>the only bloke that seems to be making the hard to find parts for these things, such as trim panels and rubber seals, is in his 70'slearn from him, and record his knowledgepreferably on paper, because digital media needs constant maintenance to last more than a decade or two
>>29019540Yeah Duesenbergs, Pierce Arrows and Auburns are worth zilch
>>29019540lol no, other richfags will take over, this is absolutely delusional
>>29019540Eventually the market will become more reasonable. You can look at cars from like the 1920s 30s and 40s they're really not that expensive. a very small group of people even want them. That's outside of weird rare cars like duesenbergs though. We're already seeing 60s and 70s muscle cars drop in price as the newer generations just aren't very interested in them.
>>29021256Then go back to your miata thread.Why did you come here anyways?
>>29021471>and so it begins...
