Carrying this logic on to the next generation, maybe I should snatch up all
these '80s Mazda RX 7's and Honda CRX's that I see advertised for peanuts
with the thought that they will be desirable in the near future to the
people who owned them in their youth..

For example from a local trader...

1985 Mazda RX 7: rotary 5 spd.
needs paint, runs good, full power,
moon roof, 4 wheel disks.
$1,000

1985 Mazda RX7: rotary 5 spd.
some dents, needs fuel pump,
as is $750.

or how 'bout

1985 Volkswagen Golf GTI
drivable, runs good.
$500

These prices are like what LBCs  were going for about 10 years ago.
