My car has been "turboized" minus the motor. I paid extra for that look but think in the end it's not worth as much as a clean original car from that year.

Yup. Follow the generation with money. Right now the children from the 1960s and 1970s are in their prime money earning years, so the 1960-1970 muscle and sports cars are hot. Meanwhile, the market for t-buckets and 1957 Chevys seems to be rapidly cooling. As my generation (born 1980) starts moving into their late 30s and 40s the market for the SC, Carrera, Testarossa, 5.0 Mustang, and other noteworthy cars of the era will continue getting hotter.
