Owning a classic car: Is it worth it?

[Top_Ghia]

I know 2 guys that are long time classic car owners who bought their Toranas many years ago for just a few thousand dollars. But times have changed and these tidy examples have grown in value greatly. They can not drive them without being asked if they want to sell them. Sure it’s great to know that they are valuable and sort after.
But it has ruined the ownership experience for them. They are just waiting for the day they are followed home and they get knocked off. They are now selling them as the risk has become too great so it’s time to cash them in and move on in life.
They’ve had their fun but now stress about the cars because of their value. When they originally bought the cars they were cheap project cars to build and thrash.
So do you feel that your $5,000 skid car that is now worth nearly six figures has lost its shine?
