If some boomer wants a 69 camaro, he should get with the times and get a new camaro with 500HP, 25mpg, clean emissions crumple zones and air bags instead of some 50 year old death trap with 200HP and loud exhaust that would be obnoxious to a harley owner.

Also, millennials, especially younger ones, don’t have the same relationships with their cars that previous generations did. Cell phones and smart phones largely destroyed the freedom that cars used to represent for teens. Parents are constantly in touch, people rarely go cruising for chicks because cliques don’t need regular set public meet up spots to hang out anymore with social media. Cars are literally just a means to get one from point a to point b, and occasionally a place to f$&k. Plus, young people uber rather than drive when they go out to avoid DUI’s, so they don’t even have a car with them to “flex” with.
To gen x and boomers, cars represented freedom. To gens y and z, they represent chores, responsibilities, bills, errands, etc.

That's why I left out Mustongs in my quote. Mid 60's Stang's can be picked up pretty cheap compared to the later cars.
Because they’re rust buckets. I always loved the 64.5-66 stangs, but my Dad(big car guy, rebuilt tons of old cars in his lifetime) refused to let me get one because of their rust issues.

Seems like millennials aren't interested in restoring, buying, or driving these beauties.
Maybe take a look at the prices for unrestored shitbuckets from this era and you will find out why

Big millenial following of flathead Fords in Hill Country. Massive car shows every spring, with a lot of new blood coming into the industry.

I had a 2004 Mach 1 back in the day. I wouldn't mind having one of those for a weekend toy. They're still cheap enough now, and I feel they have a good mix of modern tech and old school cool.
The only cool model from that era was the cobra or cobra R.

I'm in the market for a new vehicle now and plan to pay ~$25k cash for one, but it will likely be a 2018-19 small SUV with good gas mileage.

My gosh, Kbob. Don't take this personally, but if you can't learn how to drive a stick in about 30 minutes, you got real issues. Especially if you can work it on a tractor.

I’m not interested in dropping $25k for a Chevrolet Chevelle roller that needs body work

They are lazy. They will not appreciate what rebuilding an older car can do. They want everything right now.

The Mach got compliments daily. It wasn't the fastest, but many preferred its style over the Cobra models from that generation.

Not nearly as much of an issue on southern cars, and it's not very hard to look for.

Millennial here (1992). I have always dreamed of owning a classic car. I owned a 2006 Mazda RX-8 (6-speed, of course, because I'm not a pussy) for the better part of my driving career, until some braindead whore in a Yukon plowed the frick into me while texting and driving. I miss that car every day.
A 1969 Camaro SS sounds nice.

Classic cars are cool ... but I ain’t spending money on that

66 is fun to drive ... stick or auto?
Auto. It's my first car. I paid $600 for it back in 1996, restored it and have kept it all these years.

I find that boomers with inflated egos are the ones into classic cars. As an older millennial I’ve never had much interest in them. That’s just me though.
