Otherwise, I would say go for it if you really want it. I like 'em a lot personally. Historicallly though, returns on investment vehicles have been less than stellar on all but the most high end of vehicles like Bentley's, Rolls, Dusenbergs, etc. I'll bet Lenticular could speak to the issue with great authority. Even Lamborghini's and Ferrari's take a good 15 years before they start ramping up in value and that is IF they haven't been driven. I did however buy my '64 GTO during a very sweet spot in the GTO market. Bought it 4 $14K about 2 years ago and have been offered $20K for it just recently. Hope my input is helpful. Who knows, with the single production year, it could be a real sleeper investment. Just my two cents...or your $52K.

I guess i just misunderstood RockPick. So sorry. It would not be the first time i've done that.
Hey Daveman
How are you doing? Glad to see your back posting on the site. It's been pretty hot this week. Near 90 or better every day. I've been busy working on getting a transfer closer to home. It looks like it will work out. Sorry about not letting you know about the trip. We will be traveling down to Charolette N.C.(bad spelling) for the memorial weekend so the trip to Texas is out of the question.
Bye for now
