There will be a new crop of collectors long after us boomers have gone. The mere fact that the rest of the collectible market will go on and on will bring cars along with it. I don't see rare books, art, furniture or memorabilia tanking.
Muscle cars are even to me the dinosaurs of all cars. Ugly, heavy, not that fast and a terrible ride with no stopping power. Some might argue how did they become collectible to start with? I think the last time I lusted for a '57 Chevy with a HO SBC was when I was 20. I never wanted anything bigger.
BTW, if I jones for the ultimate muscle car nowadays, I just go to a NASCAR race and listen to what a 100 grand sounds like in 350 cu. in. Then I'm good for a few years at a time.
Back to the car thing: When there are too many in existence, value will suffer. Therefore, ex NASCAR race cars will never be a good investment, IMHO. There will always be an exception.
