Indeed, I think a lot of the muscle cars are going to crash after the baby boomers age. However, truly cool stuff like Porsches/Mercs/Mazzers etc are always going to have value especially once they become classic. I think the value to the muscle cars now is that the baby boomers finally have the money to buy the car they wanted as a kid. However, a really cool old car will be desirable whether or not it was the hot thing when the buyer was a kid. Im thinking of how cool a classic Bugatti is for example.
