There is really no technical reason to pay these sky high prices. It's all emotion. I surprised the prices haven't crashed yet given the economic conditions.
most all of hemmings is overpriced on everything, there are 9 over $50K stangs, all old, in there
try autotrader
Now I could make the argument for something like this, at this price.

45K for a car that has to be kept under a glass dome... that's not a car any longer, a person buys that so he can say he owns it. It's like a desirable painting or other work of art or artifact. The high price is so the owner can say he has it. that's it.
I've often thought that if I had a gazillion dollars ... I'd fly down to a Barrett-Jackson auction, purchase a really nice vehicle, and when asked if I needed help loading it into a covered trailer, I would just say: "Na, I'll drive this puppy home and if it it breaks down, I've got triple A". A person can collect coins, stamps, antiques and numerous other things, but dammit, cars are meant to be driven!

Thank you. You crystallized my thoughts.

The Barrett-Jackson auto auction is live on the Speed channel this weekend. Even though I have a Powerball ticket, I don't have any hopes of becoming a millionaire. But it's fun to watch and see what Tammy from Texas? purchases. She built her own auto museum but she does drive a few of her cars on occasion.
