Gloom and doom threads come up every so often.
I don't buy and sell cars, and have no idea of their value. I have all of the collector cars I need, so need to participate in that market. But I am VERY active is the selling of parts. Carburetor kit sales (even with competition from those acquiring stuff out of country), are stronger than ever; and I turn down an average of 25 carburetor restorations weekly. With the demand for the kits, no time to restore carburetors. Does that sound like gloom and doom? Many younger folks are getting into the hobby, and while we sell muscle car kits (and carbs) like the thesis of this thread, right now our two largest sellers are kits for Caterpillar, and kits for 1915~1935 Buick. Doesn't sound like the market is dead for older vehicles. Enjoy the hobby; the future will take care of itself. Jon.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
