If you want an investment, buy realestate or stocks....not a car. I think that there are a few exceptions to this, but they are far and few between. I think that you can be smart and come out ok if you bought the car right, you don't finance it, and it is a qaulity car. One exception would be a car with some history, like notorous race winner in its era.

I own several cars that would be considered "collectable" and may one day turn out to be a great investment due to their mark in automotive history and/or rareity. But it is more likely the money I have in these cars would do much better in 5-10-20 years in the market or realestate. As much as I would like to think my Kirkham is an investment, I plan on driving the #@*& out of it and that will be "priceless. On a side note, I do think that the Kirkham family is producing a car that has made a mark in the automotive world ( At SEMA Ford recognized them and it was their car on display) who know what mark the Kirkham will have made or is making 20 years from now?.

In other words....Buy the replica you want and can by for the right price....Get in it and drive the $#&@ out it, enjoy it.....
