a million.. everyone who's late to the BJ party think they are going to make a buck at a auction.

 

Too often I'm sure, but still the speculators keep on coming - like ants swarming over a picnic basket.

 

Your car hobby ?

LOL ... Who are you to dictate what one wants to buy and when ?

Communism is in the other direction , google it.

Does ford have you on speed dial ? Ford made these cars for you ? Lose the ego.

 

If you would have read page one on this thread and my post number 8 , you would have read I have a car collection and thinking of adding a boss.

But since you only read what you like , it makes sense for you to add little value to this thread.

I will ask ford for permission to buy a boss from your allotment shooter.

 

And, actually, your argument is flawed. In case you want to re-live your glory days 30 years from now and own a like new Boss 302 again, the more people that preserve them instead of driving the **** out of them, all the better for you. They will be cheaper, and more to chose from. But, I agree, it is a waste to try and mothball such a great car.

 

This is a retarded conversation. A random person posts on a random website asking random people to PREDICT THE FUTURE. If anyone could predict the future I doubt they'd waste their superpowers on this website forecasting the Boss 302's future value. It's a car. Go drive it.

Reality is, with the new norms, fossil fuels will eventually be phased out or depleted. Eventually there won't be gas to put in these cars. Will you worry about resale value then???

 

That's when all the stock I bought in "Flinstone Motors" will finally pay off!

$$$

 

You obviously missed the headline that the US will be the largest producer of oil in the world by 2020. There's plenty of oil to last our life times.

 

The lack of education on this site is beyond belief.

The US is frackig oil, and should be independent of foreign oil by 2020 ....

This nonsense that oil is running out on this forum is beyond belief.

Do yourself a favor, don't talk like this on other forums, or in public.

Again, it's obvious you didn't read the post, and my question about the car holding its future potential value.

It's ok, I will pass on the boss....seems this thread attracted many of the guys that peaked in high school and can't get passed the world outside of high school

Thanks for the 3 cents.

I apologize for asking such a question.

I thought the majority of owners would have wanted to see their asset hold some monetary value over the long term.

I won't make that mistake again, thanks for setting me straight.

 

Bye.

 

Not sure what education has to do with the fact That whether you like it or not, gasoline dependence in inevitably going away. Let's see, Tesla, Fisker, Chevy have all created electric cars. Mazda experiments with hydrogen rotary wankels. It doesn't matter when oil runs out, CAFE regulations and global perception of the need to be environmentally conscious will force cars to evolve. Car companies are racing to find economic, greener solutions, because guess what-- surprise! It's profitable. And the. First one to do it on a grand scale will be very valuable. Speculate on that stock.

I don't know what's more asinine, the idea of asking strangers to speculate on the investment validity of an auto purchase or the idea that someone would be uneducated to believe that our dependency on gasoline is temporary. Last I checked, modern portfolio theory measured the historic performance of stocks, bonds, real estate, treasuries and commodities, and a portfolio mix of them based on risk. Financial advisors don't say "Mr. Smith, you're heavily weighted in tech stocks, let's liquidate, and you know what go buy a CAR! That's exactly what your portfolio needs." If one did he should be fired!

Of course I would like for my depreciating assets to hold value. But I don't expect them to, I bought the car for my personal enjoyment! And I paid cash to do it. THAT'S what educated people do. If its worth something if and when I decide to sell it, great. If it isn't worth jack? No problem, I had my fun with it that's why I bought it.

Go buy a classic car if you want to speculate on "collectible autos." You might as well just put it on black in Vegas.

You don't like opinions? Don't ask for them.

 

THIS is the talk of uneducation. Your financial illiteracy is appalling. Do yourself a favor, don't talk like this on other forums or in public.

Ponzi scheme? Yep that's what Warren Buffet said when he liquidated all his investments and corporate holdings and bought cars, because you know it's all a Ponzi scheme. Oh never mind that NEVER happened. Guess his kids will just have to enjoy the extra zeros. I'm sure they would have preferred cars.

I pray for your son.

 

Boss enthusiasts 1 : Boss speculators 0

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some driving to do. Gotta keep those restoration boys employed in 2032.

 

try putting a blower on one 2 months after they went on sale...I got tons of hate from the "collectors"

 

In your defense my gramps owns all models of Boss built except the B2 Boss which i had owned

1969 S code 429 10,990 all orig survivor
1970 429 42,000 miles paint only
1969 302 31,000 cam and exhaust survivor

BUUUT... He is 86 years old and we still drive the Bosses approx 200-500 miles a year depending on the car. He almost dailies 2 Mach 1's and also has a Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet drag pack car in Indian fire thats just been painted and he drove that all summer!


He says you buy them to drive and enjoy!

 

made me laugh!! you know.. after all the crying

 

It obvious you have only read what you wanted.

The post was simple, will the boss hold its value in 20 yrs from now?

Somehow, the interpretation from you and others in your little brain developed into somehow the boss being worth like apple stock.

It's nice to see that as boss owners ... Or poseurs of boss owners many decide to do a pile on .... Pretty sad that many of you felt the need to twist this into a negative thread , showing lack of any intelligent discussion.

Evidently I was asking the wrong question to the wrong group.

Good luck with you all and all of your cars.

I guess I'm a bad dad eventually leaving my only son a growing car collection down the road to enjoy memories together ( something 1m -2m will never replace )

It's too bad it's enthusiasts like yourself that have only one way dimensional thinking and cars can't be enjoyed in other fashions.

Socialism at its finest in this thread.

No wonder we are in trouble in the country.

 

This just my humble opinion, but if somebody offers me $28K for my 2012 Race Red Boss 1 year from now with a probable 2500 miles on it, they will be paying all the money.

I think the modern technology of the new Mustang will kill the value of my car.

 

That is exactly what Ford wants you to think, that way you buy a new one. I will totaly buy your car in one year for 28K with only 2500 miles. I see it as a win win good investment and you will buy a new mustang thus helping the value of ford stock, which I also own.

 

I just put a 1 year reminder in the calender of my Apple device, whose company stock has lost 20% in value in the last 30 days...
