I hear ya. I went to high school in the mid 80s and the parking lot was full of old muscle cars. My first car was a '66 Mustang that my mom bought brand-new. As a teenager, I drove it into the ground and wound up selling it for about $400 to a guy who restored them.
Sure wish I had that car back.
If those of us who grew up in the 60’s had the foresight to just never sell anything, we’d all have estates worth a lot, even in 2015 Obama money.
