True but one has to consider what's been done to the 'backdated' car. Some have well-executed performance modifications that are very costly to install. This has real value but to a limited audience, and usually for quite a bit less $ than build cost.
Same principle as goes for (non-factory) production-based racers.
In the short run, economy may bring dollar-value of all these toys down. Or not, if dollar tanks.
In the long run, very hard to guess 'value' of any collector car now IMO. Once we are off fossil fuels, they may all be 'junk' -- excepting museum quality stuff. That may be 100 yrs hence, or much sooner. Collector interest in horse-drawn carriages pretty limited now. Cars will follow someday, but we may be long dead.
