I'm afraid car collectors and people who actually like to DRIVE a car are not necessarily the same group of people.
And it is the former group who are determining values currently.
I think the bubble will burst at some point, as it has in the past. Prices have gotten ridiculous.

But how much fun is a stock Pantera?A Well, all right, it's pretty fun
but these projects aren't for the value, they're for the fun.A Our
cars are still not valuable enough to pay for the money and time
invested in keeping them up but they're close enough that you won't
feel too bad about the money lost when you sell.
I think we can look a bit to the Mustang crowd.A I fixed up my '68
Mustang sports roof with a 289 to have a monster stroked FE motor
instead.A Does it hurt the value?A Sure.A But not too much or at
least not enough to keep it from being fun.A The restomods stll don't
seem to be selling for as much as a detailed stocker with Curley's
yellow grease pencilA painted "OK" on the differential (because it was
made on a Wednesday and everyone knows Curley had a double shift on
Wednesdays).
For a Pantera just look to the Purgold Pantera.A Many tens of
thousands invested and it still only fetches the price of a nice
stocker.A But it was fun.
