If we are going by this:

Quote:
A classic car is an older car; the exact meaning is variable. The Classic Car Club of America maintains that a car must be between 20 and 45 years old to be a classic, while cars over 45 years fall into the Antique Class.

Then yes.

Everyone has their own definition, for me it's 50s to 70s. Reading forums lately had me surprised the amount of young people who couldn't care less about "older" cars

they don't understand the finer things in life

I personally love old Porsches/Lambos/Ferraris and certain muscle cars

Yes, but I like newer cars more

I remember going to classic car shows back in high school where they defined them as being at least 20 years old. I can't believe now a 1991 car qualifies as classic

I prefer classic muscle cars to modern cars. Nothing beats their styling and pure, raw power.

I love me some classic cars, especially the ones from the 60's and early 70's. My grandfather has a 1970 Dodge Charger Special Edition with a 383 Magnum V8. My uncle used to drive it but ran it into the ground and with only some 3,000 miles on it they've been storing it in their garage since. Other than fixing whatever was wrong with it in the first place and restoring the drivetrain it's completely flawless. I'm trying to see what I can do about getting it for myself and restoring it after I'm done with college.

I like classic performance cars. Certain regular american classic cars do nothing for me. Any muscle car with a fastback is top tier shit. I love pretty much all classic european cars. Can't say the same for asian marques, although the 'really' old nissans (datsuns) and toyotas looked badass.

I want this car, I love the originals, but I want this beast as my one muscle car.

I saw Eleanor at an auto museum/dealer up here in Illinois. I saw a place where you can have them built/converted as well but it costs as much as an exotic

Yes. Classic cars are literally worse in about every way than new ones, slower, more dangerous, worse handlers, smelly, more pollutant, but they are 1000x better to drive, look at and make you feel much more connected to the road.

GT40 ftmfw. That shit kicked my ass in GT5 for a while. Ferrari 330P4 had to hold it off for dear life.
