[QUOTE="V8!, post: 201522, member: 5822"] I don't think any new car will really be collectable, maybe a bit, but they will have nowhere the price appreciation of 70's and before cars and here is my hypothesis......... In new cars, too many electronics, can you imagine, wiring problems, ABS, Air bag, trying to get the gazillion parts required to restore one?? There is also the natural degradation of the many seals and plastics that become brittle. The pre-computer cars are very simple and with age, (providing they don't rust out) generally need almost nothing special to restore them or get them running. Soo many of their engine parts are interchangeable and they are just so simple, no computers, no sensors, and very little wiring. That being said unless you are into a different bracket of collecting, such as GT40, older Ferrari, and old cars in general that should not be driven, these new cars need to be driven and enjoyed :) [/QUOTE]
