Why do you use the word hate? I can't see how anyone could hate you for buying a car because you like it. They might hate you because you can buy a car they might not be able to afford, but that is a different reason:-)

Now they may criticize you for the amount you paid just because you liked it:-)

As far as price, yes regardless of hammer your down the fees. Maybe you got a bargain, but maybe not. It was also a public purchase, so the next potential buyer know what you paid. That may or may not effect the future sale price, but do we think 1970-71 cars will continue to be desired in another 10 year/ 20 years? I am not so sure. The younger crowd in the 25-35 demo buy foreign cars to hop up, or resto mod new Challengers and Chargers from the 2010 up era. I see more new Dodge at cars shows and no young members joining our Mopar club with old cars.

More old cars come on market as folks in the 60-80 down size and or pass on. Even rich guys in my age group stop buying muscle cars and start on exotics because that is what their 20ish kids like IMHO.
