So as a relatively young man(33) I often hear people talking about current crops of cars being a classic one day or collectable etc. Personally I don't care to make a profit on a car or anything like that, but I would like to purchase a vehicle that will stand the test of time in terms of style etc.
Its now to the point where I really really wish I would have purchased a pristine example of a fox body mustang, fd rx7, e30 m3, ws6 trans am. All are average priced cars that I feel like will always have a great following, look awesome regardless of their age and have that special something that just makes you feel good when driving them. Of course there is others like supras, maybe c5 z06 but looking back at all the production cars I once lusted over there is very few that I could actually see keeping long term and no mustang makes that list since the fox body.
I post this just to get a general concept of how people see their purchase of the gt350 playing out long term and what other currently offered production vehicles might fit this mold. I saw a post similar to this on the CTS-V forum years ago. I remember reading many of comments on how the car will be something that will always have a great appeal, always look great etc. I ended up buying one, I remember walking away from it and doing the typical looking over my shoulder to see the car cause I thought it looked so good and thought what most ever other car guy thinks when they buy a new car "damn that looks good!". several years later and I look at the car and think "meh, looks ok but it needs xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx to really get my attention".
So what have you purchased thinking you would keep it forever, is the gt350 in that category and what has or hasn't changed your mind since that purchase?
