Default RE: Idle speculation: Silver the most valuable color?

Felt compelled to weigh in!! Tupperware you hit the nail on the head. I am a mopar collector and have been one for 35 years, bought most of my cars in the late 70's early 80's when they were worthless. (IE my 70 Challenger 340 conv. FY1 For $3500 or 71 Cuda’ conv for $3300) Didn’t buy them to get rich, bought them because I loved the style and power. What makes the old ones rare is that they were….Joe Dirt cars…which I guess makes me….Anyway a lot of them never survived. Especially since they rusted almost instantly so a real nice used one, that hadn’t been “Modified” or abused to the point of being junk, cost an unbelievable +$3000 in 78-84. I always hold up the 78 Pace Car as the reason you never by a car and put it in a bubble, might as well take the money and go to Vegas. Having said all this, I love this new Challenger. Is it perfect?….no, but I guarantee you if this had rolled out in 1975 as the follow on to the original, it would have been well received (I am referring to the styling only, wouldn’t want to freak out the old hippies with all this modern technology) Would not recommend buying this car for an investment, but huh!!!!… the style and power look hauntingly familiar... so like a moth to a flame I’ll be getting in line.(Waiting to get a convertible 2010)
