I have had the pleasure of knowing a few car collectors. Some have bought Challengers and moth balled them. Others have bought Challengers and immediately sent the, off for hot rodding (stroker engines, superchargers, cams and headers) which actually should hurt their collector value so you have to conclude that they are betting that the cars aren't going to be anything special. With this recent news I will be watching the remaining inventory at local dealerships to see if they suddenly evaporate. The Challenger is a very rare car on the streets. If they leave the lots but still don't show up in traffic, they are probably being warehoused. Also, if you only tend to see them in the higher end car shows but not being driven to small venues, again, they are being collected.

I think it is still too early to make the call. Shutting the plants down make sense because why make cars that aren't selling. Save the $1 billion a month and wait and see if you get tax money or not. Then you have to know if they file for bankruptcy/restructuring or will they fail. We've got a way to go before we know anything, really.
