I have a hard time believing that a 1980 something ricer of any sort will ever be a classic anything. At 50 and having grown up in the muscle car era I'm with you. The cars and trucks are still out there and will be for some time to come. You just gotta look for them and unfortunately shell out more dough. There are a bunch of Baby Boomers with a load of money (not me) that grew up with the cars and trucks of the 60's and early 70's that are paying big bucks for basket cases and obsecene amounts of money to have someone else restore them. I'm glad they are there since they are perserving the last great American cars and trucks but it sure makes it expensive for the rest of us.

Welcome to the era of old farts, you're right on course......
