Stan,

Just taking a survey on what everyone from this group would pick from all the 2007 Mustang models that are out there with the an eye toward collectiblity. Which one would people choose? Stan, you never told us which 2007 you would choose. But if you are really unhappy with your 1995 Cobra R I'm sure someone here would be glad to take it off your hands!!!

Re: [Shelbymustang] Which Will Be The Best As AFuture CollectibleMustang?

------------------------------------
Based on the past I doubt that any "instant" collectable such as the GT500
and the Hertz will be the best long range money maker. History has shown
that most of the money on these will be made within the first 18-24 months.

Each of the available cars has its positives and its weaknesses. Based on
what the future misght bring I would not believe there are any currently
that I would be happy with in 10-20 years

Re: [Shelbymustang] Which Will Be The Best AsAFuture CollectibleMustang?

------------------------------------
Just one more thought; with oil supplies dwindling and the price of gas increasing, fuel cells a near certainty in the future, how many more 500 HP mustangs do you really think Ford will build? 20 years from now may recall the 80's when 60's muscle cars were faster than just about anything on the street. The new cars coming out now (Z06, Viper, Challenger, Charger, Camaro) will never be made 20 years from now. So, buy the now and enjoy the heck out of them. If the appreciate in the future, let your kids/grandkids use the money.

Rick

PS I have a 07 GT500 coming

Re: [Shelbymustang] Which Will Be The Best AsAFuture CollectibleMustang?

TheCarSource.com Shelby Mustang List
------------------------------------
I`ll back up Stan on his statement about the new GT-500s, they are nice but
anyone buying one thinking they will make a lot of money down the road I
think they are wrong, the money is going to made now, if you bought one for
around sticker price you can make a profit, if you did not, then there will
not be much left to make. You will be able to buy one any time you want for
10 to 20 over, when they cool off maybe less, just think back since 1980 and
tell me how many cars are bringing more than they they listed for back then,
your list will be short, now go back from 1900 till 1970s and tell me how
many cars are worth more than they costed new your list will last forever,
the problem is they cost a lot more now, it takes a long time for them to be
worth more, plus the old ones are a hell of a lot more fun to work on. I`ll
be the first to tell you the newer ones are great cars and do everything 10
times better than the old ones, thats why you drive the new ones and collect
and stand back and look at the old ones. But don`t let that go to you young
boys heads, we can probably take our 65-66 vintage race Shelbys and bust
your ass. Ain`t that right Stan.

Hadn't thought of it till now.... wasn't there a Saleen race car for sale
at SAAC this year. One of the Tim Allen cars?

Thing that might be the ticket.... if the race history is there. Half the
price of a new 500 and one of one

Yep! It was the Tim Allen RRR car and, as I recall, the price was around
$44,500. It looked somewhat tired but, considering its authenticity, fairly
reasonable.

All-
Looking at Colin and Andy running hard at SAAC 31, Andy speaks the truth.
Those '65's and '66's in race trim have a huge weight advantage over the
newer cars and are much more nimble. I can only imagine how fast folks like
Ken Miles, John McComb, Jerry Titus, Donohue and Van Beuren would be with
the engine, suspension and brake improvements available today.
Regards, Stan

Don't forget tires. There is no comparison between then and now.
