Ahh - the same thing me and others have been discussing for the last 10 years. There is a younger contingent following us baby-boomers. Some are very wealthy and buying the top-end stuff....and others just love the stuff because of their parents have the cars. Problem is....they only make up a small percentage of the generation (probably most of us on here) that have, live and breathe these cars. I think the musclecars will eventually go the way of the Model T....maybe not as sharply....because these cars were part of a social phenomenon when new and have a more emotional draw to them. ZL1's, Z's, L88's, Hemi E-bodies, LS6's - etc.......I think (IMHO) there will always be a strong market for a good, rare, desirable car......the rest will fare ok....but not at the crazy prices of a few years ago.

Couple of things:

Rick - when I am ready for an LS6 Chevelle, I'll ask your help in finding the right one or verifying one that I find. It is definitely on my list of cars to own. Appreciate all you have done for me already.

All - I'm 45 years old and have the &quot;future value&quot; argument with my wife all the time when I buy another car. She thinks the cars will be worthless in the future because most of my immediate peers in age think they are &quot;kinda cool&quot; when they see them in my garage, but otherwise, most of my friends aren't really into them. At this point, I told her that I didn't really care. I love '60's Chevy musclecars and I told her I have ten cars I want to own and keep. I have 4 of them now. She says as long as I pay for everything else she wants in the meantime, she will put up with it. When I said I'd pay $80k for this Chevelle, I was figuring it would cost me another $50k to do it pretty much right with my labor for most items, some specialized stuff done by Rick Nelson, and paint by my local guy. So, if I was into a black, real LS6 4 speed, 4.10 car for $130k, I might be a bit underwater, but I would be fine with that. I don't know what the future will bring on these values, but I love the cars and I'm happy being in this hobby. Few hobbies leave with you any value at the end of the day, but a collector car is still an asset that can be sold. I remember being a drag racer and burning through cash breaking parts and rebuilding cars. At least with the collector cars, you don't break them over and over.

Long live the hobby!

The way you restore you cars Paul, you will not be underwater at $130k especially on a black car.

Im not so sure the future s bleak for these cars, based on the model T argument of people dying off . After all those that plunk down 4.5M for a P51 Mustang weren't even born yet to fly one in WW2

I'm no expert but I follow '70 Chevelles religiously. I would think that would be a solid buy if, and that's a BIG if, the engine, trans, rear axle are born with units. I see the exhaust manifolds are wrong and obviously the smog is missing. Too bad it doesn't have Cowl Ind. and Black stripes...JMO

There a lot of us &quot;Gen X&quot; guys in our 40's that also have a real appreciation for these cars. Remember - before the prices got out of hand, a young guy could afford to buy a cool Chevelle, Camaro, GTO. At the time, they were 15 yr old cars on their 3rd or 4th owner. 60s muscle is what all us &quot;gearheads&quot; wanted and/or drove as teens in the 1980s. We recall these cars with the same fondness as the baby boomers that bought them new.

Not sure about what will happen when we are gone? I don't know many people in their early 20s, but the few guys I do know could care less about any of these cars.

My 2 cents.

I am a 1972 model.....a forty something guy and am Muscle car crazy, my uncle asked me last night &quot;why do you love these cars so much you weren't born when your car was new&quot;.......I don't have an answer but I do love these old cars:-)

PS: That LS6 would tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people.........supply and demand will keep the prices up there for special cars.

Ryan

I wonder if the build sheet is still in the car somewhere in that Blue LS6?
