Got the March '14 issue today, and had to chuckle a bit when I read Buy&Sell. Turns out I have personal experience with 2 of "Today's 5 Hottest Deals".
Datsun 240Z - Andy tells you to buy now, before the bargains are gone. Well, I sold mine a bit over 2 years ago. I had it for 6 years, and was very active in the Z-car online community, serving as admin/moderator at classiczcar.com for several years. Pretty familiar with the market, both then and now.
I find this prediction a little amusing. You see, if you go back in time, the 240Z has been on everyone's "buy one before the price sky-rockets" lists for 10-15 years, maybe more. Never happens. The prices are static or merely creep upward. The cars just can't seem to get a foothold into most enthusiast's brains. Perennial car with potential, but never hits the big time.
Porsche 911SC - On the other hand, the market for later air-cooled 911's is already hot, and climbing fast. I bought an '84 911 Carrera Coupe after I sold the 240Z, and in the 2 years since the prices on SC's and Carreras have gone up 20% or more. In late 2011, I had no problem finding several nice '78-'88 coupes to look at within driving distance and a $15k budget. Today, those same cars are $20k and up. The $13k 911SC Andy mentions will be a rough example, if you can find one at all.
