I learned the hard way, keeping a 2001 Mustang Bullitt for over 17 years and only riving it about 3 to 4 times a year. When I sold it with only 7,800 miles on it, I got twice over book value, but it was still no where near what I thought it would be worth. I only got $11,000. I was hoping to one day get maybe $16,000 but it was a bad investment. Anyways, I won;t ever put money into a car like that again. Bad investment.

2013 COPO 427 went for $58K. That was a great deal.

I think cars will generally become a worse investment over time. I can't see tons of millenials going gaga for them.

I'm a millennial by age unfortunately, I know lot's of people my age that love cars but don't have the discretionary income to afford a toy. Cars are generally a horrible investment, but if you can spot trends you can buy stuff at the bottom of the depreciation curve and enjoy them for a few years and get out of them. Take the 73-87 C/K pickups, 5 years ago they weren't worth much. Now they are becoming one of the hottest cars in the collector car market, particularly the K5 Blazers.
