What is the nostalgia of the 1st gen body worth over a late model? $10k, $20k, double the new price? If your selling a classic for more than a late model, you have already significantly narrowed your potential market, regardless of the options and performance involved.
If you had a 5th gen and 1st gen Camaro and each were purchased at the same price. The new ZL1 will depreciate at a much greater rate than a 1st gen Camaro.
That's what keeps me from buying a new Camaro.
