Good afternoon, all,

--read an article over the weekend -- an interview with Dean Krause -- who
is the director of global marketing for Krause International. Krause
International, as most of you know is a company that specializes in
collector-car auctions.

Every year, Mr. Krause compiles his "Dean's List." This list is a list
that focuses on cars Mr. Krause expects to be the most desirable among
collectors and that have the potential to appreciate in value the most in
the coming year.

Here is his list for the coming year:

1935-36 Auburn Boattail Speedster

1961 Chevrolet Impala V8 Convertible

1963 Chevrolet Corvette (all models)

1964-1967 Austin Healy 3000 Mark III

1966 Chevrolet Nova SS 327

1967 Ford Mustang Convertible

1968 Shelby Mustang Cobra GT500 Convertible

1969-1974 Ferrari 246 GT/GTS Dino

1971 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack

and:

ALL Chevrolet Camaros and Firebirds.

Mr. Krause writes about the F-car: I'm picking them all. These two
models began in 1967 and have included some of the most popular and exotic
of all the American Pony Cars. Whether it's an Indy Pace Car, a Trans Am
that recalls "Smokey and the Bandit" or a Super Duty Pontiac Firebird 455,
GM's muscle cars have built huge reputations and a great and loyal
following. GM is going to scrap these two series, ( sez who?) and I think
all Camaros and Firebirds will jump by 15 to 20 percent in '02. These two
models always have been great sellers in our auctions and '02 should be a
bonanza year to buy these cars."

I guess thats a good thing they will be going up, but I guess that only matters if you SELL cars (which is not an option!!!!). The only problem with the price going up is for people like me who just BUY them!!

Hopefully this problem will go away if Chevy ever lets the car return to the market place (in Yellow, of course!!)

Typically, buying a car as an investment is risky at best. No matter what type of car, rarely do you ever see a return on your investment. Buy the car to enjoy it, not to make money off of it. That way, you are sure to have a pleasent experience owning the car. Just my .02!

Agree with both the above!! I will never sell mine and will only buy others! The lower the price, the better.
