First gens can be had right now for less than 10K. You just have to go for the better looking coupes instead of the fastbacks, and you may have to deal with an striaght six instead of a V8. Swapping to the latter is piss easy anyways.

I always found car collecting interesting from a conceptual standpoint but it's never something I actually wanted to do because past history is always the same cycle of perpetual fail:

>guy wants car he masturbated to when he was 16
>buys it, restores it, car shows, blah blah blah
>eventually gets too old, needs money for medical expenses and Viagra, has to sell the shit off
>his kids are like Nice car butmmmmmnah sorry old man

Why even bother taking up a hobby like that if you're going to eventually be too old to enjoy it? Pointless.

I'm kinda surprised that they'd say boomers were unloading their collections because only the oldest are reaching 70 and you'd think if you're in your 60s as most of them are, you can probably expect at least another 10 years of being active and healthy to be able to participate in a hobby like that. Generally speaking, most people don't start really falling apart until 75 and up.

The secret of investing in collectibles is to literally be "into shit before it was popular" and then to get rid of it right when it's at the height of popularity i.e. right before it stops being popular (when "too many douchebags are into it")

I've already converted all my Magic cards into 80s cars and my retro video games may be next up, though I suspect they have longer legs.

You guys already fucking know which cars are going to appreciate. Go buy them right now while you still can!

>>14063473
No you're not that old yet in your 60s if you take good care of yourself, but have you seen what half these guys look like (assuming you've been to an antique car show)? Massive beer guts, red-faced, can barely move, insulin shots. They're probably closer to 80 under the hood (bad joke I know).

Not everyone's Jack Lalanne, you know.

>>14063470
You're likely stuck with an automatic at that 10K pricepoint, but it should still be possoble to find an autotragic V8 coupe for that kind of money without major rust issues. Or just go ahead and pick up the nicest possible auto six, and drop in a junkyard 351 with a T5 or something behind it.

>>14063485
pretty sure no one cares about 80s games anymore. just like pinball. old pinball market fucking hit the dumpster.

>>14063492
My dad said he remembered in the 80s when there were a lot more 1920s-30s cars there being collected by WWII vets. Lotta flathead Fords, Packards, V16 Caddys, etc.

Well he said he go to the shows almost 20 years later and many of the same guys were still there with the same cars only now they were getting...old (like 75 and up). A lot of them could barely move and often were not able to drive their cars anymore. They must have needed help from younger friends or relatives to get to the show.

>>14063470
Only searching for '70 coupes, but both of these almost qualify. Both automatic, sure, but hey, late sixties manuals weren't all that great either. At least they look rustfree, and have a 351.

This would be perfect if it weren't for the red interior, I'd swap that for some black leather (bit keep the plaid seat inserts). After that it's just a matter of saving up for the inevitable 460 + 4 speed manual swap.

>I've already converted all my Magic cards into 80s cars and my retro video games may be next up

I literally did this, I sold all my prized N64 games to get an 80s car and I kind of miss my games already.

Some hobbies are just not all there. For example antique radios were hot, hot, hot in the 80s. By Clinton's second term, as the WWII vets were all past the age of 75, it was like "Will the last person to leave the room please turn out the lights?"

>>14063647
There wasn't too long ago when we were in this antique mall and one stand had a 30s console radio in it. The price was about $50 and my dad remarked how 20 years earlier, that would have gone for like $500 when nostalgiafags were still alive and actively collecting them.

>>14063670
>I found a mint 81 El Camino for 2 grand. Would have gotten it if I had the dosh. There's also a mint looking 74 Torino in town for 5K

Anything from 1973-81 is not a classic, it's a chapter of the American automobile that we'd rather not remember.

“I once took my Pontiac G-8 out on a farm road and revved that baby up to 125 mph. Man, the telephone poles were just inches apart. I haven’t driven that fast since then,” he said.

Considering the G8 was only sold here in 08-09, he must have been like 88 when he bought the thing. Getting up to 125 mph at that age is impressive considering all the decrepit blue hairs who barely hit 30 on their way to Denny's as they can't see over the wheel.

You do not own a classic it shows. Yes my 66 is old, has a ton of wind noise, outdated suspension, and no safety gear to speak of. However, doing a burnout in it or just feeling a massive push of torque from a 7+ liter big block moving you forward in a comically long steel box is incredibly stimulating and satisfying. Also, I much prefer 60s styling to the soap bars we have today. It was an era that lent itself to grandeur for grandeur's sake. To each his own though.

When you are behind the wheel of any Detroit Steel big body of the 60's-70's you are no longer simply driving. You are navigating your personal Land Yacht. Superfluous thing such as cruise control, ABS, Traction control, or Airbags do not matter to you. What does matter is the four feet of leg room, pillow-topped seats that surround your entire body with plush comfort, the lack of a center console that allows maximum lateral freedom for you and yours, and the glimmer of the sun on the over sized hood ornament. You are the biggest thing on the road and you always have the right of way. The speed of traffic is what you decide it should be. Modern cars with "responsive" handling and packed in safety features have lost this simple creature comfort that your Classic chrome covered ride exudes.

I certainly hope you never paid more than $200 for an arcade cabinet because any more than that is commercial price, with the assumption that it will generate its own revenue. There are still tons of arcade collectors including myself but because of the high cost of freight shipping the markets are pretty regional. Quit bitching and buy a truck.

When you are behind the wheel of a 90s shitbox you aren't driving, you're hooning. Working air conditioning, a chassis that doesn't feel like a wet macaroni noodle, interior materials that aren't cracking cheap plastic, or a differential that actually lets you go around corners without skipping one tire do not matter to you. What does matter is that you're looking out the side window when moving and the muffled eurobeat playing in the distance. You are the smallest thing on the road and you have to be on constant lookout for soccer moms in CUVs that might merge into you. The speed of traffic is irrelevant since you dart around it. Modern cars with gigantic A pillars that you can't see around, electronic parking brakes, and driver aids you can't disable that ensure you always stick to the road have lost the simple joy of hooning that your shitbox with bubbling clearcoat exudes.

I was just back on Craigslist tonight for the first time since February and I was amazed at the market for old Japanese cars in California. Back in February Toyotas, Hondas, Datsuns, and Mazda's were just a handful of cars from each company with prices around 6k for a pre 75 car.

Toyota Celica and Corolla coupes are around 4-5k now. With new ads coming up more frequent.

Honda microcars, the n600 and z600 are within 3-5k now. The z600 still being uncommon.

Datsuns have seen the most growth in price and abundance. Pre-1975 Z's are now within the 6-8k range. More 510 coupes are surfacing and will cost around 4-6k.

Mazda's were very few back in February, and only a handful are on sale as of late. RX's and Repu pick-ups will come at a steep price compared to all other Japanese manufacturers.

This, its always an event when you're driving an old car. Its a pretty good feel when someone gives you a thumbs up, you almost always make a friend wherever you go. Anyone of any agegroup can appreciate an old murican V8 muscle car.

It doesn't even have to be a show car, as long as its loud and its fucking cool. The JDMfags are missing out big time, sure Evo's Miatas and Poopra's are cool, but nothing can compare to the character/presence of an old muscle car.

I agree entirely and love that GTO. There is no resaon you cannot hoon a classic. Where do people think sideways culture came from anyway? Yes the japs had the togue, but America had shine runners in the 1920s-30s that were able to powerslide ford coupes and the like. The Japanese didn't really start making the power to slide until the late 50s/ early 60s.


My sister will be coming into town and I'm trying to convince her to drive the Duster down so I can get a family pic with the Fury. My father is now looking at a new commuter and has found a 1965 Dart GT Wagon with the 225. Clean as can be and I think it would be a fun car for him.

I contend that we need to live much longer. With many of the more intricate professions by the time you're educated it's eaten significantly into your productive years. Then by the time you get some decent experience it's time to retire.

Yeh but it's kind of worthless when the human body isn't designed to last longer than 70-ish years. There's no point to living to 90 if the last 10-15 years of that is spent pooping your Depends as the Mexican nurse smacks you around the eyes.

SRT4s were fun cars. AWD with out raising the price much would have made the too good for a Dodge.

If you think you'll ever get a Hemi Charger ch33p, you're mistaken. Even when the last boomer crosses the River Styx, it's not happening. I see no drop in prices for V16 1933 Cadillacs or Duesenbergs, do you?

Stuff like 65 'Stangs sure because they were common as the gutter and their prices were only inflated by nostalgiafags.

This is my own retarded viewpoint on it, but I feel like millennials see restoruined 69 Camaros going for 50k and feel discouraged and see them as unobtainable. From my experience, even JDM BRO VAPE ILLEST fags think muscle cars are cool and they're entry level as fuck, all they know is GTR, Supra, S2k's and RX7's.

No but the ordinary Fords and Chevys from the Depression era sunk like a rock because they were a popular item with nostalgiafags.

>>14064448

Vehicles weren't seen as disposable tools then. They were taken care of and driven until there was nothing left.

Nowadays a car is basically worthless after 10 years.

>>14064902
30s Fords aren't going down in value at all - the rodderfags bought all the damn things up, as they're going to do with muscle cars once boomers are kill.

here's a guide on how to make and predict a collectible vehicle that rises in price astronomically

>vehicle 40+ years old

>mid tier when new (not an economy model)
>lots of custom and modified examples created

buy an e30 or rx7 now and hold onto it for another 15 years. sell it.
Buy a stock s14 and sell in 5 years. Buy a bmw m3 and sell in 20 years. But a bugeye sti and sell in 15 years. Buy a brz and sell in 40 years. Buy a GTO and sell in 30 years

self driving cars will do what cash for clunkers did to the used market a few years ago, but permanently.

>>14064902
>>14064933
In fact the most valueless 30s cars are ordinary boring shit like a six-cylinder Buick or Pontiac. Otherwise, contrary to what you've heard, the disappearance of nostalgiafags from that era hasn't caused the price of the stuff to go down much at all.

Arsesex7 and Shiteline are actually pretty good.

At least with the 25 year old rule all my grand turismo meme cars will be realistically affordable when I'm in my early 30s and the initial jdm hype dies down.

I'm already having a hard time finding a nice Evo 3 though, and R33 GTRs rust out worse than your regular Datsun. Guess I'll have to look for a GF8 WRX STi Ver 4-6 Wagon.

I just don't see there ever being a significant movement of nostalgic Millenials collecting whatever. It's a different generation entirely than boomers and we probably value video games more than cars.

>>14064526
I remember an American Pickers episode where they buy stuff from an 88 year old dude who looks like he's about 72 and is really sharp and completely on the ball.

>>14065624
Yeah well good for him. Unfortunately about 50% of people 85 and up need help just performing basic everyday tasks.

>>14065279
>>14065463

Kek those are 10k here and rust free.

>>14065647
If that means the other 50% of 85 year olds are still functional and independent, then it's not really as bad odds as you think.

>>14065589
Stuff like Ocarina of Time and other video games are already increasing in price.

>>14065690
>>14065589
Video games aren't a fair comparison because you can emulate them and not need the physical cartridge.

>>14065825
It's possible he was following one of the reviewing fallacies of the time that said that you only apply brakes or accelerator fully once. The idea was to remove the driver from the equation but resulted in truly horrid performances not at all indicative of what a car could really do.

>>14065878
That, actually makes sense. I wonder if it's still done that way today but with ABS and other aids enabled.

>>14065874
I...don't know.

>>14065924
Naw they gave up on it when it became more than obvious that it only resulted in tire smoke shows after most cars gained enough power to burn rubber at will, or enough braking power to lock the brakes on a whim.

Well...the 50s generation were the original rodders, but the fad gradually went away in the 60s as muscle cars arrived however later on the 80s, Gen Xer kids in SoCal began a new rod culture since rodding had degenerated into expensive custom-built garage queens owned by rich idiots.

Buy cars that are well maintained and take care of them. I've got about $5500 total in initial purchase price for 2 cars and a truck, and they have tons of life left in them.

Not a boomer, but Honda's are hated because of the morons that generally own them. They tend to fall into 2 categories:

1: Clueless idiots that only want an appliance for a car - something fuel efficient that they never have to think about besides putting gas in it.

2: The worst kind of wannabe, clueless,hipster, trendy, moronic, self important, no class, all flash no substance, willfully ignorant, child.

THAT is why Honda's are despised by the majority of people.

I don't think 90s and newer cars are necessarily even restorable since they're a magnitude more complicated than stuff from the 60s (>needing unobtainium custom ICs with no documentation) but I'll put that aside. It's more like...car culture is not as big for today's young guys as it was 50 years ago for a variety of reasons.

>>14068114
yes, but there's a difference between those two statements. As of right now, there a few companies actively working and testing prototypes out in the wild. The claims from ye olde time we like to make fun of now were idiotic unfounded speculation. The few that were right, we don't bring up. Like an old time documentary on solid state transistors, that existed only in a few laboratories at the time, and how they will revolutionize humanity's technology.
Saying that we'll have self driving cars available isn't a huge technological stretch from where several companies are at now.

To be fair, 60s cars were considered worn out at much less mileage than modern cars (The odometers roll over at only 100k for example)

>>14068260

But either way, this guy is right. Barring wrecks or defective parts, preventative maintenance can make or break a car's lifespan.

>>14068355
And he's not basing his collection on nostalgiafaggotry since he has stuff going back to the horseless carriage days.

>>14068330
Like do people restore a six cyl 65 Plymouth sedan? No.

>>14064915

That's actually the opposite. Living in that era I will tell you that cars were very much disposable. People drove the shit out of them 50-90k miles and then would scrap them. I saw Hemi cars and other cars that would be considered rare today get scrapped. Most racing teams back then either buried their cars after they were used up (serious Richard Petty did this for years) or they were scrapped. They didn't end up in museums commonly until much later in the 70s and 80s when nostalgia kicked in. The build quality of muscle car era junk was atrocious too. Way worse than anything British. Any decent 80s-present basic restoration can produce a better quality car than what rolled off the line. Paint was terrible, panel gaps were terrible, uniformity in body pressings was terrible, cars were basically unsafe to drive with drums on all corners, horsepower was overrated largely. Muscle cars were shit to own and drive. It's all about nostalgia.

>>14068321
Thats when you just megasquirt that shit. Or haltech. The rise of fully tunable custom ecus will pave the way for great resto mods on 90s shitboxes. Its already there to make power.

Often times those odd ball muscle era cars are picked up by budget enthusiasts. They are good starts for a project where everything is going to be modified or updated anyway so you're not ruining a period correct car. I've seen some nice looking more door resto mods, sedans/post cars.

>>14068384

Yes they do. There are tons of restored 225 slant Plymouths and Dodges that have been restored. Yes, the vast majority of what is seen is V8s because 318s are a dime a dozen and easy to swap. There are actually more restored I6 Mopars in my area than there are V8s period.

>>14064915
Sounds like copypaste from a nostalgic boomer idiot on some forum. Yeahyeahyeah we've all heard it before. The past (or to say when I was a tot) was a time when men were men, women were women, people were kind, helpful, churchgoing, didn't ever have sex until their wedding night, cars were built to last, people didn't commit crimes or lock their doors at night.

This is one of the most moronic things I have ever heard. Do you even think or just babble whatever pops into your mind?

If you are lucky enough to live to an old age, you will be too old to enjoy almost every one of the hobbies you had when you were younger.

What a goddamn idiot...

>>14068381
All cars are unsafe to drive, regardless of the braking system. Drums work but not as well as disc, that much is true but even Pursuit package Polaras had drums. As for the horsepower, they were rated at gross horsepower not net for many many years, so the HP advertised was at the crank with no ancillary devices. As for how they are shit to own or drive, I wasn't born in the 1960s, but I prefer them to current vehicles not due to nostalgia, but sheer style and simplicity to repair. Give me a land barge any day.

>>14068425

sure that's why i like them too. for the body design. but i prefer my muscle cars to essentially be a c6 z06 corvette under a muscle car body so it's actually fun to drive and carve corners safely but not in a plastic piece of shit with a cushy feel.

>>14068397
Nice. With my gearing the way it is (3.55) I could hit about 127-130. 3.23s should have me around 150-160 by my calculations. It'll never be driven that fast off of a strip because of front end lift causing a very light steering feel. Live muh Sport Fury

The interiors are too cramped, everything has went to fully integrated touch screens for climate control, and they all look god awful. 15k will get you a brand new, base model shitbox that is powered by a 1.5l lawnmower engine. Or you can have a fully loaded big block Imperial with more comfort and class than any one man can handle.

Underage kiddo, I worked in a nursing home one summer and most of them weren't enjoying their life at all and often told me they'd gladly end it all if it weren't for their religion.

>>14068486
In a straight line they can. On creature comforts (ie, extra bullshit that adds weight), fuel economy, and handling new cars win out but fuel economy doesn't concern me, anyone who cares about the mileage they get is wasting away. In this life it's not about miles per gallon anon, but smiles per mile.

Is this the level of debate we're reduced to?

>>14068504
I have worked with old people as well and the sad thing is even when they're Betty White level of active, they still get all the negative stereotypes and insults.

>>14068504
Son, there's tons of stuff I can't do now that I could 20 or 30 years ago, not to mention I quite simply have no interest in some hobbies I had back then. By the logic of the halfwit I was originally responding to, I should never have gotten involved in any hobbies, any activities, or made any friends for the simple reason that I would out grow them one day or not be able too enjoy them one day.

If that is the point you are trying to back up,you area complete idiot and deserve to be a kissless virgin neckbeard that lives in his mom's basement for his entire life. It is a cop out of the lazy and the children that are too scared of life to try anything.

20 years ago you were still 5 years away from being born

>>14068556
Nobody expects you to do everything at 65 you did at 25 but there also comes the point where you get old enough that the loss of physical ability starts impeding basic everyday life. As someone else said, about half of people by 85 need help just with normal tasks.

>>14068504
Had a friends 80+yo grandfather decide to check out a few months ago because of infirmities. Bad back and knee meant he couldn't get around too well and then he hurt his arm somehow and couldn't even carry beer in. At his age it was never going to get any better so he cleaned up one day, went out in the garage, covered himself in a sheet, and pow!

Dude, I'm not that dumb. Posting walls of text like >>14068556 and >>14068381 are more embarrassing still since they're probably copypasted from some other website.

My grandfather blew his head off with a shotgun at 88. Though somehow I don't think my dad needed to see that.

>>14068578
Not arguing that in the least. Follow the comments back, saying that you should never get involved in any hobby because you'll out grow it is what I was addressing. By that thinking, no one should ever leave the couch, live life, or do anything they enjoy because they might be too old to enjoy it some day.

>>14068597
What the fuck are you babbling about???

>>14068434
Was scary. Mine had a flow restrictor on the pump outlet so it wasn't so light.

My car had 3.23, 235/60/15s and was at around 6k rpm. It was also a 318. Felt like the crank was gonna break free holding it at redline for that long

Cool vid anon. I'm run 2 different sets of wheels and tires. A set of 195 70 15s with bias ply white walls (came on the car, I use them when moving it around town or when I do paint). Second set is 225/70/15 x 275/70/15 Cooper Cobras for the street on AR Outlaw Classics (primary set). Have some D window steelies as well for the rear but the ET drags on them are done.

Love c bodies!

Wish I would've kept it, sold it because 4 door. Stupid.

Have you measured? I couldn't even get a 255 on a 8" wheel to clear without rubbing in turns. Maybe if I rolled or cut the fender lip and hammered the inner fender.

I re keyed the torsion and used truck lowering blocks to try and fight lift at speed.

People tend to have a bit of a misunderstanding of how the human nervous system works. For instance it's commonly stated that your synapses do not fire as quickly in older individuals, however this is not true. The speed of them is not appreciably different in a 25 and 75 year old, rather the brain shrinks a bit with age and loses some neurons so with less parallel processing ability, you can't think as fast and get confused more easily due to brain overload.

275s fit snugly without relocating springs too. Just have to have 4.25" of backspace at a 0 offset. It's make me feel better if they made a 4.125 backspace but that's splitting hairs. On topic, I cannot go any wider that that tire on an 8.5" wheel, but I run 11" drag radials and still have a bit of room, may be the ballooning affect of the tire not being same size as the wheels. Have another C Body

Completely forgot to mention, I stagger my wheels. I figured that was apparent from my previous post, but I run a 225/70/15 up front.

Ok but why do cats have quicker reflexes than humans despite almost 200% fewer neurons (one billion in a cat's brain versus 60 billion in an adult man's brain)?

>>14069079
There's a few reasons for that including the cat's musculoskeletal system being different from ours in a number of ways that allow faster movement and the much smaller size of their body resulting in shorter pathways for neural transmission.

Having said that, if you have pets you will notice they get confused and bothered by a lot of people in the room or action going on at once because they can't parallel process all that information like we can.

>>14069079

Cats are smaller and they get scared of fucking everything.

I don't know bro. I hate boomers as much as anyone but you have to admit they have been very successful in selling their childhood and pop culture as something special, superior, and timeless to the masses.

>>14069067
>first post itt
Why are you mad because people like muscle

>>14069118
It didn't start with them, really the 50s generation (the guys who came immediately before boomers) were the first to have marketable nostalgia.

>friend is given a dodge dart when his parents moved
>sold it and used his 08 civic SI in a trade for a new CRZ

He was not going to pay to store a car that he can only drive on the weekends. He admits the CRZ is slower than his civic si, but he wanted dem MPGs in a 6 speed.

Nice your style must have more room.
Can you do the Cordoba spindles and van brakes on your style?

Mine was 76Cordoba prop valve, spindles and brake lines
11 3/4 rotors, calipers and caliper brackets from a van.

Big brakes for a out 250

I mean, Jesus. This would be rough on a middle aged guy, let alone 80.

>>14069408
He's been in so many accidents and broken so much stuff in his day (a lot of it before modern medical care existed) that it probably doesn't phase him.

>>14069386
Nah, I can do 73 C body disc spindles and lower control arms. I went with the Scarebird front dis conversion. Uses 2 piston Ram 2500 calipers and pads, IROC Camaro brake hoses, and 65-67 Galaxie rotors. Have to run 15s as its about an 11.8 rotor.

>>14063395
>why do anything because you'll eventually get old?

Jesus Christ you sad sack of shit, live a little.

>>14069460
I had to go 15s to clear the brakes as well. Didn't know at the time and only had the 14" stockers. Had to bum a ride to the junkyard because my only car couldn't even front wheels.

That sounds like a nice setup.

>>14068406
The biggest thing that ages you is closing yourself off to the modern world. The sooner you realize that the past always sucked, people were always assholes, there was always death and suffering in the world, and that you also didn't have the technology or opportunities of today, it's like a beam of light.

>>14068198
I have a turd gen, because one of those with an engine swap (which is piss easy to do) will outperform a first gen in handling, fuel economy, looks, comfort, safety, reliability, braking, you name it, it's better. No shitty leaf springs or drum brakes here.

>>14069812
Why would you swap an l98 350 instead of building it.

>>14069837
Because it's an 82 Z28 with a 4 speed and 4 wheel discs with a turd of an LG4 305, not a 350.

>>14069848

Me neither, it was custom ordered by my uncle. Definitely never selling it. I hate to meme it, but I know what I got, and I'll never find another in equal or better condition. I'd rather have a manual with less power than an auto with more anyway.

According to the web

>Nobody wants to buy overpriced, boaty, gas guzzling, slow, boring vehicles from baby boomers after they spent a shitton of money restoring it

Who would have thought. The only one out of the bunch that anyone really cares about is the old Mustang because an old, red convertible 60s mustang is like the Pikachu of cars.

Austin Third Gen has an RPO decoder with lists of every RPO available for each year, with original MSRP and production counts. I also have the Camaro White Book with basically all the same information that I could scan in a few hours when I get home.
