classic car loans

Kinda hard for me to wrap my head around this one, as when I bought both my Dusters they were just hi-perf. cars, and not "Classic Cars".
This whole classic cars scene seems weird, with cars like my Duster (I paid $500.00 for my first one, $900.00 for the second one, which I still own) going for $10-20,000.00. Back then they were toys to tinker with, Nowadays...not so much.
I agree on several points. I've been restoring my present Duster for over ten years with a long way to go. Why not plunk down the cash and drive to the Mopar Nats, if that's your dream, or if you suck at restoring cars? Yeah, it's better to do it all yourself, but if that's Just Not You, well who are we to judge? I would never do it that way, but I'm not you. If it works, do it. Just make darn sure you have it professionally appraised and a proper pre-purchase inspection done by a professional. No point shelling out good money for an amateur hack bondo-mobile. Collectible car prices are not going down any time in the near future. To the OP...if it feels like the thing to do and you can afford it; do it.
