I kind of (well, not really) feel sorry for all those 5th Gen owners who barely drove their cars thinking that in the future they will appreciate like a pristine '69 RS SS is valued today.
Really?
The cars of the mid-late 60s are only valuable because of two reasons:
1) Scarcity - there aren't that many that were "Preserved" in anticipation that they would appreciate in value. There's too many trailer and garage queen 5th Gens.
2) Owner's Age - the people who want 60s muscle cars the most are those that remember them from their youth and have the $ to buy them. Today, less and less young people care about automobiles. Maybe to them, 1st gen ipads, ipods, iphones will be their collector items.
I say if you got a great car, drive it. Today.
