Let me see, new price when it came out was $400, then there has been over 90 years of depreciation.... and Ford kept cranking them out eventually dropping the new price to $240 devastating the value of the your 1925... :-)

Agreed. And someone who needs to finance a 15 year old BMW M5 for $20k will not have the money for the $2800 repair it will need 3 months after purchase. I had my S65 AMG for a month when it blew on of the dreaded $1800 coil packs. And you have to take the turbo’s off to get at the spark plugs!

That’s because 99 out of 100 1967 Camaros are barely held together by the paint over the rust. To a bank, its a numbers game, so they will take a chance at overlooking your gem.

Agreed. I would argue you should step up to the S65 AMG as I did. Just had to break 600 HP and 738 lb/ft torque. In “limo mode” it still drives like the luxury car it is, but kicking the throttle instantly wakes it up. Like having the Terminator in a business suit....

70 mile range brand new, on a good day is not a car, it’s a golf cart.

Ugh! Why do you waste your valuable time on such junk?
