Are the insane prices for 60's to early 70 muscle cars justified or are Baby Boomer's just trying to clutch on to their last valuable things before they inevitably start going away.... What's your take on these current prices and will they drop when Boomer's start to die off?

I doubt it , if they cant sell it it probably ends up with their spawn, who'll sell it even higher for muh sentimental value.

It'll be like our beloved 80's and 90's Japanese imports, repeated cycle. I can't think of any future classics in this decade though.

Probably because most of the cars of today are appliance cars that will be lucky to still be roadworthy in 20 years let alone long enough to become classics.

That's because cars are made of cheap plastic and electronics that will only last 10-20 years. It would be impossible to have a great condition all original 2016 model barn find in 60 years.

That's because you are retarded.

No. Bugatti Royales never dropped in price either.
What's rare now will, inevitably, become even rarer, and as such, their value to collectors - and with the expansion of the world economy, more of these will appear - will not decrease in the long term.
Long term being the key phrase here; I'm guessing we'll see a crash in the classic car market within five years.

>cheap plastic
Advances in production techniques such as 3D printing, and the new materials being developed, will probably do a lot to mitigate that problem. It'll be much more affordable to make small batches of given interior parts and so on.
>Electronics
I'm more worried about this, but again, I hope that we'll see a shit in manufacturing where rapid replication and prototyping, together with more accessible small batch manufacturing, will help alleviate this.

The price on muscle cars is justified, what with the amount of money that went into keeping it running, or restoring it.
Camden Hall
Ahem. A SHIFT in manufacturing etc.
