Anyone think the boss might hold its value and maybe go up in 20 yrs ?

I'm contemplating buying a 2013 to add .... Just curious to the thoughts on the board. We can't get the LS here in Canada, but the 2013 looks so much nicer than the 2012 ( to me )

What are the production number runs on the 2012, and the 2013 ...thanks.

No I do not. What limited runs from 20 years ago are worth more today?

BigR

How much are those cobra r's today ?

Cars today have the same aggression they did from the 60s ... Thinking if this car will be desireable 20,30,40 yrs from now...and if that would translate to any additional value because of it's limited, and low production run.

20 years???? But I think they will hold value better in that specific time line.

Search archives here for production numbers on the 12's. I was pleasantly surprised to find mine is one of only 75 built, (69 sold in USA). It's configuration was even better, only 1 of 9. Albeit that just mean't I don't have the race seats. LOL. Uh, as for, 13's not yet done.

The R's were far more rare and the ones people are buying are 12 years old with 30 miles on them that have been kept in a bubble. Plus they are selling for a little less then most paid for them still.

IMO don't buy it for an investment. Buy it to DRIVE it. But it's your money

I have a few cars... Keeping money in the bank at 1% is useless, and givining it to a banker to Ponzi scheme it is not appealing .... The car I can have some fun,and if it holds value , my son would appreciate a car collection better than a few extra 0s when I pass.

I have searched the 12s but still can't find the numbers produced....how many 13s are they planning on ? Anyone with inside info ?

Flagstang

put the money in bonds or something.. Then he can use those extra 0's to buy what he wants. What if cars in the future are worth less because of fuel costs and no one wants them?

As far as I know, they are supposed to build 3250 Boss 302's and 750 Boss 302 LS's in 2013.

You should be looking at 60's vintage Shelby's and 1969/70 Boss 302's not the new ones.

IMHO, many people are saving their cars with little or no miles far more now than they did in the 60's hoping to cash in down the road. Especially after the '60 started selling for big $$$ in the late '80s

I recently saw a 300 mile '86 GT for sale and many with less then 10k miles.

The Foxes really aren't selling at high price levels and the '60's cars are holding their value since there are fewer of them left.

How many < 10k mile '69 428SCJ Mach1's have we seen in the last 10 years?

The reason the sixties cars sell so much now are a couple of reasons:
1. the cars after the sixties were crap...thru mid eighties....15++ years
2. people who lived thru the sixties as teenagers are now have big $ and want their good ole days back.
3. today's cars do have the racing stories like the sixties cars had. Nascar and a bunch of other racing not using anything close to showroom cars.
4. All manufacturers since the mid eighties now make a better car then the previous year. So as we all marvel about our 2012 Boss 302 and how good it is, the base 2018 3cyl Mustang hybrid will beat us all.

BUT if electric cars take over and IF their performance sucks (IE seventies cars) then our cars WILL increase in value.

Is there seriously another stupid thread on this stupid topic?!?!

Its value may hold its own (depreciate less than standard GTs) in 20 years but I don't think it will be appreciating over MSRP.

Production numbers are found here: http://bossmustangsonline.com/2012-a...seca-registry/

Thanks, not a lot of cars considering the world population is 7B and growing.

With more Shelby's being produced, this could have some potential.

Obvious, owners don't see the value in this car ..... I took out a 67 Shelby, and quite frankly , these older 60s cars are ... .... Junk unless your going in a straight line, once all these baby boomers start to pass on, it will be interesting to see how much further they drop in price. I know my kids and their friends couldn't car less of the old iron....but talk to them of the gtr, or Lamborghini and they know all the data.

Guess time will tell.

I bought my Boss for a Sunday driver car. While not as loaded with Leather, Nav. and power seats, ( like the GT, SS Camero, etc.) I bought the Boss because it was COOL. You will not see tons on the road. They are limited number, and may not be made for another 30 years. It has the "right" engine, as opposed to the Bullitt, which I was considering. I decided on the Boss because it is just a cool looking car, limited in number, and may not depreciate like the other cars I was considering. I drive mine (probably going to stay under 4K miles a year, and plan on leaving it stock. One day, maybe, it will be worth something to someone, if not, it is worth a lot to me.

remember that most of those 7b can not afford the boss and most of the countries its hard to get the into if not impossible. That also limits the appeal.

AlsCobra

It's a specialty car. The only thing you can't get on the GT is the motor. And most people don't look at the motor potential but the stock hp rating which isn't that far off. Besides, the Boss turns owners into douchebags.

PTRocks

The Boss certainly seems to have that effect on certain Shelby owners.
