Will DSMs Ever Be Valuable?

**Goat Blower** · 09-25-2008

I think Dontstopme hit it right on the head. The current musclecar boom is from teens and twenty-somethings buying new Camaros and musclecars back when they were $3500 brand new, getting rid of them with family's and such, then wanting their old glory days when they're in their 50's and 60's and have the cash. Being in the middle of the two era's, I find myself wanting to pick up my high school car, a late 70's Monza Spyder and fix it up right. I think the kids buying DSM's today for pocket lint will be wanting a really nice one some day, and they're being parted out on a daily basis, which will make them harder to find and more valuable. This is part of the reason I haven't tried to sell mine many times when I get sick of it.

My thoughts exactly. I think if I get rid of mine I'll regret it a few years down the road. This is the first car that I've actually cared about keeping nice, I want to keep it for quite some time. Sometimes the issues piss me off, but they're mostly caused by me anyway.

Some people fail to see that. They get

Another point I forgot to mention.

Only time will tell. 1g's may hold more value simply because 2g's have the strut tower issue and will most likely all be junk in 20-25 years. Then again, I guess a rust free 2G will probably be really rare........
