I completely respect what you are saying, but there is one factor not discussed. If I am to buy a car for $100K, then it would not be unreasonable to expect the transaction to be viewed as an "investment". And while I agree that the worth of an object is based on what the market may bear, my conservative nature dictates that I worry more about what the value would be in five or ten years down the road. Which I think in the case of Muscle Cars, would be significantly less.
And as for car buyers versus art buyers....have you ever seen as many mullets and overall poorly dressed folks like the BJ crowd at an art auction?
