IMHO, once all the baby Boomers die off, there will be a huge surplus of "Classic" Porsches that the Boomer generation grew to love an covet.

Surplus+lack of appeal = Worthless

The following generations seem to care less for the "Race" heritage cars and like the SUV types better.

So as any investment goes theres boom and bust.

The Boom is currently here with the retiring Boomers picking up the cars they love to enjoy before its too late for them. They have the money so cost is no problem.

In 30 years all the Boomers will be dead and along with it the value of those classic cars, which will also be 60 years old by then.

Enjoy what you've got now and don't worry about the value of "Classics"

If you love it, is all that matters, no matter how gorgeous or ugly it may be.

who cares? drive them as much as you can and enjoy them while they last. I just watched a sci fi movie a couple of nights ago where society longevity is based on life credits and when you run out of credit you die. One of the characters purchased some sort of Boxer and the sales person said the price included delivery so it could be put on display like an ornament, the buyer said, "I don't want to display it, I want to drive it!". I have three vintage 1920's Ford Model T's, they are sort of classic but I drive them all when I can.
