Yes, and the demand will only go down for them once our age bracket passes on. Some of our kids will still want them because dad had one (and some, of course, will inherit dad's Cobra). The production of them will then be cut way back, 427s and 428s will be increasingly hard to find, the original builders will have moved on to their great reward, and "original replicas" will then begin to increase in value. It would not surprise me if 40 years from now my ERA, with its basically "classic build," has escalated in value at an annual percentage rate that is in the high single digits. On the other hand, I could be completely wrong.
