Classic muscle cars I fear are going to go down the same route , the boomers are dying off and the younger generation is not that interested .
Anyway we are going off track here , we should leave this thread now for posting your new toys .

A thread off track? In this forum?


Just a note to what you were saying re classic cars - in the UK recently I met a guy who imports classic cars from the US, gets them done up to top quality by a garage in UK and stores them
He's buying up secure warehouse space up north to store top spec classics, all in rows with those positive air pressure blowey bag cover thingies

It sounds weird until you learn that there is no Capital Gains Tax in the UK on classic cars

He used to be a property developer but is finding that he makes more money with the cars, bringing in corvettes by the dozen

This may be the last gasp of a dying tradition and maybe cars will follow guns as being "out of fashion" but for the moment there are some economic reasons why a classic car is still in demand.
