Classic Sports Car Bubble — Buying Vintage Cars

Quote:
You can make almost exactly the same arguments regarding the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2, which sold in unprecedented numbers during the Eighties and which can't stay in front of a Toyota Camry V6. Yet air-cooled 911s, even the crummy ones, are currently selling for unheard-of prices. Ten years ago, I passed up all sorts of 911SCs for 11 or 12 grand. Those same cars are now selling for $30,000. Carreras with the G50 transmission are doubling that. And if a 1984 Porsche with 100,000 miles on it is worth 60 grand, surely the Ferrari from the same era is worth more.
...and this one.

So the old saying might be right: You can't pay too much for a Ferrari or an air-cooled Porsche. You can only buy it a little too soon.
I'm glad I got mine in 2012, juuuust predated the rise.
