I think most of that is due to "car investor creep" - the product of the older desireables (BB vettes, Hemi cars...) being so expensive, only the wealthiest can afford to collect them. They just go to the next ones on the list and so on - early 2nd gens are so expensive that the disco 2nd gens are going up in price now - along with some other cars that were cheap only a few years ago.

I throw up in my mouth when I think of all the articles on how the 70's Laguna and other lackluster cars are now collectible...

Blue chip imports like nsx's and mk4 supra's are in the stratosphere now and were never really 'cheap'. Still would love to own either one along with a box caprice (for some odd reason, I love those cars) from 87-90.
