impact of modern muscle cars on the old car market

Am involved with a Mopar club here in the Bay area, Ca. We have been having this discussion for several years. How to keep the hobby alive and encourage younger ones to get involved. Many suggestions have been proposed but a clear answer has eluded us. Young people out here do not care for old cars, they are drawn to modern, high performance cars. This becomes really obvious when attending a car show at a High School that still has an auto shop. The boys walk right by your car and right to the "new" Mustang, Camaro or Challenger. One thing we are doing is to have several classes for the newer cars at our car show. You might be surprised at the large turnout in these classes. They may represent 20% of the field. Like us, they may have a lot money and time invested customizing their cars. Glad to hear you boy's opinions.

Our Inland Mopars Car Club (SoCal) had our 18th annual charity-benefit all-Mopar car show a couple of weeks ago. Modern muscle made up close to 30% of the entries.
Our show this year had 37 classes, 6 of those were for modern LX/LC-platform Mopars.
We realized several years ago that we needed to include the modern cars because of their numbers. While we continued to judge the older Mopars as we always have, this year we made the decision to have the modern entries be participant-judged from only other modern entries since we realized the judging criteria is different between the older Mopars and the modern muscle.
And our Best of Show proved to be the oldest Mopar entered - but we couldn't find anything to fault it on...
