My brother and often have this discussion. We just look at what cars the
kids like.And the stuff that is just plain different.
Our list: Stealth/GT3000, some of the mini-jeeps such as Geo Tracker,
Samuri etc.,
Geo Metro Convertible (My personal fav), Civics, RX-7, Celicas, Supras,
Acuras, any of the turbo cars (there are lots!!), them durn beetles and
other VWs. The more I look around the more really cool newer cars I
notice. As for restoring, Of the people I know that are rebuilding older
cars are Everything except the Chevette/Escort/Omni sort.
Just some of the current odd ones are a Dodge Magnum, 78 Monte Carlo, 69
Ford PU,
88 Cadillac and Subaru Brat!
I deal in collectables and one of the theorys I maintain is that 40 year
old men buy what they had at 10 and what they wanted at 17. That means
Hotwheels, Schwinn bikes and Agent Zero toys (camera that turned into a
pistol etc). As for cars...Trans-ams, Dusters, Broncos and Z-28s. I have
even seem an upsurge in Vega/Pinto/Gremlin.
