So, is this a collector car of the future.... no it does not mean I can afford it ... just a question to the illuminati. I am saving up for a manure spreader but it is interesting.
Ford Motor's shares have dropped 23.8 percent this year, the excuse being China. I think they and GM will now go into bankruptcy as they are following the latest PC trend. Henry must be turning in his grave. This is the time for Rob to get a GT 500 and I can come up for a ride
All cars like big trucks, 25% import duty. It is time to protect our industry..... waaay overdue.

Im thinking electric cars are the collector car of the future. They will be so rare after 6 years old when parts are unavailable or cost more than the car is worth, that a super rare running example will fetch a premium in 20 years... there may only be 2 or 3 left by that time... invest now!coalnewbie wrote: ↑Thu.

I believe I towed every single Yugo that Daniels Cadillac ever sold in Hartford. Most of which had less than 20,000 miles on it and they all lost the clutch cable. One I towed twice in one day for it!

A co-worker and bud of mine bought a Yugo in the 80's. He often bragged of his new $4,000 car. He had 3 engine replacements under warranty and was frequently towed. The last engine failure was out of warranty and it was scrapped. They needed a lot of maintenance, which by the 80's, was something most people wanted no part of.

Having had the luck to work on some very rare cars and seen the prices they've brought over the years as they changed hands......
Rare and good = valuable collector car.
Rare and junk = junk.
