The bubble already has ended. For example, prices for 84-89 Carreras are no higher today than they were a year ago. Probably a bit lower.

Same for 308s. He's a little high on his estimates of what those are going for. Those have a huge disadvantage compared to a 911, since (1) they are actually kind of crappy cars, slow, poorly made, and frankly too heavy and not that fun to drive and (2) too expensive to maintain for most. All in all, while there were fewer of them make, their appeal is far less universal.

High production cars like 78-89 911s are going to be affected by the aging demographic. There were a lot of those cars made, a lot still exist, and demand is dropping and will continue to drop in the next 10 years.

IMO nostalgia buying happens most with 40-55 year olds.

Guys who were teens to 20 in the 80s are now roughly late 40s to early 50s. Getting up there as far as buying cars to relive youth. 10 years from now, demand for 80s 911s will be far, far less than it is today.
