Although Barrett Jackson will tell everyone that the Collector Car market is "almost" back to pre-crash levels those cars are bought by people with plenty of cash to spend or "invest".

I still see the price range of common A Models continuing down for some time. Like Ferdinand Porsche said, no one needs a Porsche, they have to want it.

Drive the back roads and see how many: boats, jet skis, supercharged Fox frame Mustangs, ATV's, big pickups, HARLEYS, Mom's weekend Beetle Convertible, and trailers are up in yards with For Sale signs. People need cash, and if you can wait them out, you'll get the $2,000 Shelby like deal that you can look back on in 20 years -and happy motoring and memories.

eBay is still in a fantasy world with many "collector cars" with people who set a reserve based on what they have to have to make the rent by dumping the Car that they just can't quite the bullet on the loss from buying it for too much in 2007.

Of course I've got one on there now, we'll see if the reserve hits, or I put it back in the garage for a few more years!
