Shit...even my old AMC Pacer would fetch at least $5K now and at a $200 purchase price it would have been a great investment!

I'm in the same boat, but then you have to figure in storage/maintenance/etc to keep them in the "condition they were in". Heck, I don't even want to think what the value of the mid to late '60s cars parked in my mid to late 70's high school parking lot was. Everybody I knew was driving an "old" Chevelle, Camaro, Mustang, etc, etc that they all paid $800 to $1500 for, and some less than that. Now, it would look like the parking lot of Hollywood High!
In the end, I couldn't invest in cars because whatever I owned I would drive. I wouldn't be able to stop myself.
