Car prices may have stopped going down due to precieved rarity of engine options as emissions laws get more intense. I really think the era of "depreciation" on cars is coming to an end.

I don’t think people are buying a 1960s car because of “engine options”. New engines are objectively better in both performance and emissions.

If a new law allowed an old 289 design to be installed in a new mustang with no modern emission requirements, the new car would not suddenly skyrocket in value.
