Here's one thing everyone always forgets. Keeping cars costs money. More than it'll ever make you.
Even if you had a 1969 camaro back in the day (when it barely cost anything) that money has inflated, so it's still like you spent $20k on it. Let's just pretend you can sell it NOW for $40k. That means it's in great condition, probably original engine/trans if it's gonna be worth that much because even if you put in a better 2010 engine... it's worth less.
Now if you have a car in that condition, great. But it's already cost $20k in initial purpose plus more than $20k in keeping it in that well of a condition.
It costs money to keep cars. They are never an investment... period.
As for holding value, the Camaro I believe was in the top 10 rated a while back. It holds its value alright, but it's definitely not going to shoot up and make you a ton of money. No car does.
