I would say STARTING prices are in the 40-50 thousand $ range to about 150-200 thousand $.

But, you know guys, even if they are exotic, they are still just old cars. I don't know why anybody would buy a car they can't drive. Seems idiotic to me.

I think in part because collecting those trophies is addicting! Mine was a show car only for about 4 years (immediately following it's restoration). But sweating bullets because the #4 valve cover bolt has the wrong date code got real old, real fast. It's so much more rewarding to get a thumbs-up at a red light than a win at a show. I still show - but in driven classes. And what I enjoy the most is the visiting during the show - not the rewards after.

I can see owning a genuine, low-mileage, high-dollar Mustang and not wanting to splash through mud puddles. But even then, I would want to drive it more than I should. I've proven to myself that I'm a one-car guy. I want to work on it and reap the immediate rewards of driving it! I see the value in rare cars not being driven; but only so long as they're on display for all to enjoy. The waste is keeping one covered up in a dark garage, just waiting for it to appreciate enough to turn a profit...

Yeah, I can see your point about it turning a profit, but so can other means such as investing in a mutual fund turn a profit. If I can't drive it, I won't own it. I won't own a car for someone else's pleasure. I drive my old '65 every summer for about 3 or 4 thousand miles. And, I drive the holy crap out of my Mach.
