The only good things to come out of the eighties were the cars.

Older cars exhibit tones of nostalgia, there are too many new cars around to match that.
Germany is valued for other things than it's sausages and beer: E30 325i
Nissan Sky-rine Sirrowet! R31 Silhouette GTS2
EJ20T 11-second 89 Brumby
Hachi Roku AE86 Sprinter 4AGZE

Did you get rorted under the 7/11 restrictions?
Ha ha!
Boys I think we should leave 7th Sign alone - there's no room for a conformist in the exclusive club of the genuine enthusiast, who value older cars for their nostaglic merit rather than seeing them as artefacts from a forgotten past. Granted, mate, each to their own - however there's nothing quite like a fully restored older car in my humble opinion, especially with a bit of shine and a bit of squit.

Mate there's 'old' and then there's 'classic'.
Your dad's hotrods fall under the title of 'classic', as does the 'stang.
The AE86 Levins, E30 Bimmers, EA81 Subies, etc are 'old'. I guess the transition between 'old' and 'classic' is from about 1980 onwards, where said cars sit between classic and new styles. i.e. XY Falcon, classis -> XD Falcon, old -> BA Falcon, new. (The Brumby is more classic than old, though - just that Subaru extended the old looks of the Brumby because of the lucrative concept it was based upon.)

Huh? No they haven't. There is such a distinguishment in eras of cars.7th Sign said:
Classic style. Old style. New style. Respectively, Ford Oz' evolution:
BMW's classic-old-new evolution:
The Skyline's evolution:
You get the idea...

Actually, the 2CV pioneered much of the French car industry as we know it. Initially it wasn't as sensational as intended, but the 2CV has since become a classic. There are many fan sites out there, clubs etc that feature the 2CV in race format, rally format, original format, etc. Something like 5 million 2CVs were built up until it was discontinued in the late eighties, to the dissapointment of many. So yes, I would call the Citroen 2CV a classic, not for its nostalgic value but its value as a pioneer - in the same category as the Beetle, the Model T Ford, FJ Holden, etc.Argonaut said:
And if you haven't noticed, my constant use of the word "classic" has been in the context you are referring to: definately, the E20 BMW, Datsun Skyline GT-R 2.0L PGC-10, and XY Falcon GT are classics. I use "classic", "old" and "new" as basic names for the eras I'm talking about - use of the words' connotations, not their denotations.
Like you said, old cars are just old. But they are valued for different reasons - not their contribution to the evolution of the automotive industry (if any, really). For example, the AE86 Sprinter really pioneered nothing, it was Keiicha Tsuchiya that exposed its strengths as a drift car. And that's what it is valued for, as an old car - not a classic.

I think go for the MX6 if it's what you want. I really like the look of it, wouldn't mind having one myself

wtf man?
I am just making my point you can not determine if a car is a classic or not throguht their year model, people are always having this fight....their was amassive fight a while back about what is a "hotrod" all different types of cars concidered their car to be "hotrods" get what i am saying....
