If this was an individual's private collection for investment, all of the cars would be KB as it has been definitively proven as the fastest color.

 

HaHa, I agree..
Have you started your Boss this month instead of waxing it? How many miles on yours 500?...: )

 

He just told me, it's 501. Lol

 

As somebody pointed out, future collectibility depends on supply and demand. The current supply is quite limited. They made 317,000 Mustangs in 1970, about 7000 of which were boss 302s. Compare that with the measly 75,000 Mustangs (approx) they make these past few years, of which maybe 5,000 are boss 302s. Even if most boss owners carefully preserve their cars there are still far fewer cars. With pending CAFE standards about to squash v8 engines I see a huge upside for these cars in the very near future. Once people realize they can't get them anymore panic buying will set in.
It will be like in 1974. Some of us are old enough to remember how desirable a hemi Cuda was once we knew they were gone.

 

There won't be a demand for a 2012 boss in 40 years 2052 come on LOL

 

I think there was also panic buying for tulip bulbs in Holland at one time. How did that work out?

 

Those stupid Dutch and their silly wooden shoes

 

 

!!

 

If we're not beaming by 2052 I'm going to be pissed!!! Lol

 

I'm sure your purty lil smile is always beamin'

(redneck enuff for ya?)

 

the shelby's will deff be worth less by then....... ill probaly be dead in a car wreck or something......

Hopefully i buy a gt500 before that happens

 

According to you guys, nothing will ever be collectible or sought after. There are a lot of people kicking themselves today for having sold vehicles that today are worth almost as much as their homes.

 

Those are some cheap homes

 

No they will not be collected.

 

It's a different time...and in 20-50 years it will be a different time. We won't even have cars anymore. It'll be little self driven pods on tracks. You get in, type in your destination and sit back while big brother knows exactly where you are, where you're going, who you're with, at all times. If we even have gas, it'll be $20/gallon and only available at "select locations." That's if the current cars' electronics even work that far down the road. I doubt they will, given current electronics' shelf life of about 5-10 years. Don't kid yourself. If you want to invest, do it in stocks/bonds/real estate, not cars.

 

Buy the car because you love it and want to enjoy it. And if it goes up in value, even better. But I wouldn't count on it as any part of future retirement planning. Although I do plan to drive mine a lot more when I retire.

 

Novel concept old man :brilliant:

 

Exactly why the Boss Hausa chance at collectibility. It's old school almost devoid of electronics beyond the track key trickery.

 

K fine. The 2012 Boss *might* become a collectible. The 2013 won't.

So, you all really have the resources/time/space to maintain a vehicle for 15-30 years, to wait around for the value to possibly increase, not factoring in inflation? Keep it if you love it, not because you THINK it might be worth 5x its purchase price in 30 years. In that amount of time, you could have invested $40k in real estate or other things that are guaranteed to increase in value. And say it does increase in value. Now you have a 20 year long attachment to the car. Can you really bring yourself to sell it at an auction??
