That the classic car market is so ridiculously expensive to get into. Yes certain cars are cheaper and there are still affordable ways into this hobby but it's getting harder and harder every day to get into certain generations of various vehicles. Auctions like Barrett Jackson show this. What's even sadder to me is that these cars are restored beautifully and never driven except to shows(maybe). They're never truly enjoyed like they should be. They're are many enthusiasts out there I'm sure who want these cars and would enjoy them. Sadly prices will continue to rise and things like an Iroc Camaro may one day be a 60k car.

The 66 Thunderbird I posted on your other thread is the only car I own, it's driven daily and still runs like a champ! (Throttle issue fixed haha) My grandpa has a late 70's Tbird that he still drives, and my uncle has a mid 60's falcon that he drives when he isn't having to drive his truck. It is sad when these cars become collectors pieces and the prices skyrocket, but people shouldn't lose hope, there are great classics out there that are accessible if you do some research, dig through ads, and aren't afraid to put in the work!
