Easy to say values won’t drop when you’re in California where air-cooled specialists are plentiful. They are not plentiful here and when my mechanic is gone which will be very soon (opened his shop in 1974 when I was 2), my car will be a giant brick if things go south. Not all of us want to or can fix them. And I dont have a budget for shipping my car a thousand miles to a specialist. One could argue that those with money who can afford to ship a car or engine around the country for work will still want these cars but do millionaires really care about my SC? I doubt it. Any decent mechanic can work on a corvette or mopar. This issue has been on my mind for a while now. If I was in the market for my first air-cooled, I would likely pass after thinking this through. I don’t see the value going anywhere but down except for the collectible early cars. I hope I’m wrong but that’s my gut feeling
