Re: roush mustang value
Both good points. But keep in mind that if 30 years someone had said that HemiCuda convertibles would someday be worth 7 figures, we would have laughed ourselves into a stroke. The same could be said for most of the collectible 60's iron.
I have a friend who loves 98-02 Trans Ams. He owns 3, all low mile, garaged, extremely well maintained examples. His dad, who collects Mopars and has some amazing examples in his collection, wonders why he messes around with those "late models". But as he has pointed out, his grandfather, who was very involved in pre-war heavy classics when he was alive, wondered why his dad bothered with "those damned old Chryslers. Those aren't even real cars."
My point is that the Foxes will be, and in fact already are, collectible to the guys who grew up with them. The newer cars have the benefit of the largest aftermarket for a single model in history. But the Fox created that aftermarket. That, if nothing else, will gaurantee it's place in history. Just my opinion.
But, flyingn is right. Let's enjoy it now, while we have it, because who knows what the next twenty years is going to bring.
