Lots of baby boomers who were PLANNING on retiring are still working and pissed. When the economy turns and these guys can sell their homes and retire, I think we are going to see a spike in collector car values. If I had $$ to burn, I'd be grabbing 911s (especially longhoods, but SCs and 3.2 Carreras), and any decent running etype I could get my mitts on. Oh, and that 356 coupe in the PP classifieds for 29k. No brainers.

My thoughts on the next wave of collector cars is more for the generation x folks. There's some overlap with the boomers' interests, but my gen x friends that are car nuts lean towards 1970 + 80s sports cars and muscle cars. IROCs, Trans Ams, Lotus, Porsches, Deloreans.

Gen X are also not as apt to wait until they retire to spoil themselves, so an improvement in the economy will likely see them grabbing up their cars again
