Resale Values On Race Cars ????
How well do T/K race car's values hold up? I know it of course depends on alot of variables like build quality, type of car, drivetrain, how current the specs are on it, etc etc., but generally speaking, how much do race cars depreciate?
The reason I ask is I am considering selling my Pro Street '56 and buying a dedicated race car, probably either a early Nova or Camaro. I started taking the '56 to a new local 1/8th mile track and have gotten completely hooked. Plus, it is a HELL of alot more fun then sitting in a lawn chair at a car show. I know that when you build a show car, the general rule of thumb is 50 cent on the dollar when you sell. I bought my '56 pretty much done so I know that when I sell it I will get almost all my money back. I would like to know that if I bought say a nicely built T/K race car, let's say a '66 Nova for 35-40k, that I could sell it say 5 years down the road and get most that money back, minus replaced broken parts of course.
What do you guys think?
