What you will see, but few will take advantage of, is the oportunity to drive a cool car for free once these are 25-30 year old cars.

In the Miata and MGB world, you won't make money by buying and selling the cars. However a perfect MGB that was restored by someone 5 years ago is going to sell for about 15k. Garaged low mile Miatas for about 9-10 k max. You can buy these cars, take good care of them, and five years later sell for what you paid. This essentially free use of a car for five years. Not a bad deal.

The same can be done with any of the specialty cars that have a nostalgic following. The only warning is that you have to be good at spotting a good car versus a bodged together for sale piece of junk.
