20 years is a good rule of thumb. The carb thing is dumb because a GNX is a classic and doesn't have one. A ZR-1 C4 'Vette is a classic, no carb. There's no way an early 00's WS6 Pontiac isn't a classic, either, so it's kind of subjective. 20 years gives a good cutoff for newer cars that might be classics one day, yet expands every year to include new cars. Kinda like how classic rock stations play Pearl Jam now. If I had to DD a classic I'd want parts availability, simplicity, and heaps of style. So....

Obviously I meant that after 20 years every car built becomes a collectible. Obviously.

Raluek posted:I consider "classic" to be 1979 and older. I'm currently DDing a '65 Impala and recently it was a '60 F100, but if I could choose a fantasy it would probably be a '71 AMX. Not nearly as racy as this one, but you get the idea: Look above, that's an AMX, haha. This one is a Javelin. e- aww gently caress I forgot the 71's were AMX's. Oh well, I'll leave my stupidity for mocking.

I posted the Lil Red Express earlier, and I stand by that. Though, these two have been creeping up into my consciousness for a little while now, mainly because I love the backstory and everything about the racing class they were designed for. Super rare, super expensive, but if I had the money I'd drive one of these two:  1963 Super Stock Dodge 330 with a cross ram Max Wedge 426 (not a Hemi!), or....  1964 Ford Thunderbolt e- Here's a cool article about A/FX. Basically, the NHRA got tired of the factories sending crazy cars into classes where they dominated, and created multiple */FX classes for the different Factory Experimental cars. The real history of the muscle car starts not with the GTO as is commonly said, it was the "Black Widow" Chevy 210, then the Super Stock Chryslers, then the Tbolt, then the GTO.

Meh, yeah, there's no way those aren't a future classic IMO. They are kinda close to the 20 year thing anyway.
