These newer, modern (and more usable) collectible cars are now enjoying a market upset by those who now have the cash to buy the poster cars of their youth. For a while now, the younger collectors have been transforming the market, and that transition only accelerated during the pandemic. The acceleration was fuelled by online buying, which became the primary (and in some periods, only) way to buy and sell cars during the pandemic. These younger collectors not only had the means to buy their dream cars but are also very comfortable with buying high dollar items online. For this reason, much of the growth owes to long-term demographic trends, namely the fact that Gen–Xers are now entering their peak collecting years. Boomers are about to be eclipsed by Gen-X in the marketplace, and the cars Gen-Xers want are those cars that made the noise (in this case, both figuratively AND literally) in their lifetime.

Huge shifts within the auto industry also feed interest: as new cars become increasingly tech forward and removed from drivers, it’s reasonable to expect enthusiasts of all stripes will continue flocking to “analogue classics" . Fewer than 2 percent of new vehicle sales in 2020 were manuals, no doubt buoyed by the fact that most manufacturers wouldn’t sell you a manual even if you wanted. Conversely, the collector car market doesn’t reflect that trend at all. It’s quite the opposite, as nearly every vehicle is worth more with a manual.
