I bought my Dart in 1982 for $400.. it is a race car now and I have well over 50k invested and its worth maybe between 25-30K , I am still investing $ in it because I love it!! same with my 92 D150 I bought new and still have I paid 11K for it new it might be worth that now or a little more with all the mods... good investments ...No! I have no intentions of selling either of them , the fun and good times I have had with both far exceeds the $ value.. my recently traded 08 H.Q.C. was probably a good investment I got a really super deal on it when I bought new in late 08 for 22K after 58,000 miles and 13 years I got 12K for it.
