    I saw this IMSA Corvette in Boulder a few months ago, if these suit your fancy.

    You sure? I could have sworn I saw them in DuPont years and years and years ago. But I'm not a Vette guy so IDK.

    As a baby boomer (1946) I still have my car collection but someday I will start to sell them off.

    I have only three cars that are classics the rest are newer or new cars that should be okay.

    I think but could be wrong there will still be a market through outlets Like Mecum to sell these cars. I have been to many mecum auctions and barret jackson and there are alot of people bidding even young people on really old cars even by my age group standards.

    I really do not care I will be dead anyway :) and the kids and grand kids want them.

    Great post

    Best

    BMW M1, Ferrari 288 GTO and the Porsche 959 would be my choices. I am being a little biased though simply because I love these cars and their production numbers are irrelevant to me.

    Good luck.

    I have never known replicas in current production to be "investment grade", so to speak, if for no other reason that whomever wanted one could just go order one from the manufacturer. In addition, they are cars which, by definition, have no provenance, which is a key component to determining value.

    For me Miura SV and Diablo have a lot left in it. The F40 will always be a car where I would be prepared to pay whatever I have for it. I think it could be the next 250 GTO. In a lower price range I agree with the E30 M3 and the Viper.

    F40 will NEVER become next GTO, not with 40 times higher production.
