Thanks for bring it up.Of course our scale of market in the US is quite larger than in the UK so there is a greater number of each model car here. As for the much older cars some have been restored to original, others customized, even more with the Boyd/streetrod treatment, and then some are all out race cars. The people that are generally interested in these cars are becoming fewer as the grow old and pass on. I'm talking about cars from the 1950's and earlier. As for the 1960's musclecars, there is already a movement to restore them to original due in part to the success of the Barrett/Jackson car auction where rich people buy cars no matter what the price, as long as they are "pretty". They also need to be restored, generally, to original condition to bring the most bucks.I wondered if my son's generation (he is now 22) was going to be fixing up broken down cars that were built when I was a teenager, since we are usually attracted to our Father's cars from our Father's day. But the cars in the 1980's were a bad time for the US industry as they were busy learning how to make good 4 cylinder engines, front wheel drive cars, and electronic fuel injection. The body styles were very "blah". Except for Mustangs there aren't too many cars that are desireable from that era.Steve</blockquote>
