That may be true for Boomers who grew up during that era, or perhaps even Generation X who grew up in the aftermath of it, but most people of my generation don't care about the feats of the GTHO. It doesn't impact us.

We grew up in a time of V8 Supercars and XR6T's and XR8s. If Ford lovers are going to want cars from this era, they are going to be worth money in the future. Not all of the cars of course, but select hero models or historically significant models.
