impact of modern muscle cars on the old car market

I doubt many who own modern muscle really care if the get a stranger to stop and check out their ride or get a thumbs up while driving them. Modern muscle owners have their reasons and classic muscle owners have their reasons.

The reason they dont, is to most of them its just a nice new daily transport. I love my 07 mustang, but its just a nice new car. Now if and when those cars reach 35-40 plus years old and end up in the hands of enthusiasts restoring them, and enjoying them people will be giving those " 40 year old modern muscle" cars thumbs up, and want to talk about them, or this conversation will be playing out all over again with modern muscle now being the "old car" in the equation.

45-50 years ago when people bought the cars we now revere as brand new cars, i suspect most people bought them as nice new distinctive modes of transportation. They were all over the place much like modern muscle is now.

The reason people stop to look at our older cars and or strike up conversations is sometimes out of curiosity since this stuff is rarely seen anymore, or maybe someone they knew way back when had one etc. This will come full circle with the current crop of factory muscle cars.
