You show that clearing with the cars you linked.

Change that to 50 years and we're on the same page entirely.
I disagreed with the thought that any car that gets driven or is mass produced is instantly worth significantly less than the "crazy" prices seen on the cars that are called 'collectible' these days.
$60k+ for the right 911 or Mustang seems like a bargain to some, but most laugh and recall when they were <$10k sticker new or that time a buddy tried to sell theirs for $500.
There will be a day when most people look at used 86 prices and balk, and I think that's a pretty damn safe bet. Hell, many did that when they were new. Top dollar is subjective, but I think the same kind of prices we see in desirable sports cars from the 60's is not unreasonable.
