I think you are over analyzing the market. There is no better place to put your money right now since real estate has leveled out(it has not dropped like many predicted). The stock market, forget about that. So collectibles is really the only place to make any money. But this situation isn't about collectibles. It's about somebody that has always wanted a car like an LS6 convertible. A real one costs $450K so he can't afford it. A well done clone that 99% of the people can't tell the difference he will buy for $150K. It has nothing to do with the real value of the clone, it has to do with what he really wants. 9/11 changed everything and people are going about their lives differently. I don't think the car market is going to adjust like it did in the late 80's early 90's because of 9/11. There are too many people willing to spend their money for enjoyment. And musclecars =
