The end is near...

What I see is, parts are or will become a problem. stock up now and don't throw anything away that can be reused. for example most rebuilds and overhauls I do get an oil pump no questions asked. But you can check an oil pump clean it up and reuse it if it is good. I also predict alot of the nice restos going to "rich guys" overseas. Its already happening. people who don't care about the cars but care about making a buck will buy cars up once we are all old and checking out. there wont be many nice cars left here I give it 30 years. that and the govt doesn't want them here either. It will come down to unloading the cars while they are still worth something to someone.
100% agree with you on the parts aspect......already happening now. Was told yesterday 6 months or longer or maybe never for x bearings, early next year for ARP crank bolts, ARP head studs sometime next year, Ti valves December or January.....it's ridiculous and I have been stocking up and hoarding parts I may need for the next however many years i'm alive because some things probably will become extinct.
