This is not directed at the OP, but I think a lot of people new to these cars are coming in and hoping to buy an appreciating "asset" that they can have fun with. Everyone wants to invest in a collector car right now. A stock car might be that. A hot rod is less likely to be that. One buys a hot rod for the long haul personal enjoyment. It has utility value versus financial value.
