7/20/2020 0 Comments i also have other hobbies: pt. 1Vintage American Muscle Cars, being one of those hobbies. Driving a Dodge Charger in a major metropolitan area feels like driving a tank made of fine china, and as much as I'd like to swap it for an investment-grade Mustang it would just get instantly beat up and break my heart like the Charger does... so I'll buy a house to park cars in first. Etc. But in the meantime: investing in cars via shares of LLC group ownership. "Owning cars I don't actually drive." Okay. I bought into this stupid thing at $16.5K and it's currently worth $36.4K.
"Why are we using the terms 'Vintage American Muscle' and '1990 Ford Mustang convertible' in the same breath?" Well, let me tell you the abbreviated and likely incorrect saga of the 7UP, which certainly is google-able: These were a special order job from the 7UP company, in a dark emerald jewel green custom mix with white interior - destined for a tie-in giveaway with the NCAA that ultimately never happened (deemed "gambling" in many states, presumably). Ford already had them painted, and, coincidentally: 1990 was the 25th anniversary of the Mustang, with no plans to produce a commemorative model. Apparently Ford just shipped these 7UPS out to dealers to stick out front with a banner: "The Mustang: 1965-1990" or whatever. So, this became a "thing." "Was there really no 25th model, and what was up with those green ones? Did I imagine that?" But the real kicker: The 7UPs were ordered as 5.0 liter 321 V8's. In a convertible that weighs NOTHING, plus 5 speed manual and a handling package. If you don't mind dying without a roll cage, you can take on a Cobra in this thing. Now, the important thing is that I sell out my shares immediately so I can buy more baseball cards like a fool.
