People who would buy these very special machines as an investment over track / street rod use really irk me. Ford made this car for me and other likeminded enthusiasts. If you want to speculate on a market, buy stocks, bonds, foreign currency, etc. Don't get involved in my car hobby in an effort to make a buck, as this will just make it more expensive for us hobbyists. If you want to fund your retirement, buy stocks, not Ford Boss 302 Mustangs.
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.

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.

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???

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 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.

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.

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

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...
