A lot of people want the car they had or "could have had" in High School. Figure what generation that will be, and will have the disposable income to be buyers when you assume you will sell your car. Target your year range based on that. IMO model t, pre war, and 50's car enthusiasts are aged out and sellers, not buyers.

I agree. Actually have been looking at model t's cause their cheap now. So if someone graduated in 2007 they would buy a 2007 or so when they could afford one. Let's say at 45 yrs. of age. 45 yrs-18 yrs=27. I sell in 2034.
2034-27=2007 year car.

Buying the most highly optioned low mile Pontiac 1997-2007 firebird/trans am that one could afford would get the most money going forward. If one were only investing.

Problem is I don't like anything newer than 1978.

The 78 4spd that MaryAnne PY Moderator's husband bought a couple years ago was a sharp car.
I don't say that about very many 77-78 cars..
Find a Great color combo with deluxe interior even if you have to overpay for it.
