You Only have to Look at Prices of Cars from the 20's & 30's where $25-$30K will get you a Nice Car...Once they lose Their "Sentimental" value , They're just Another Old Car..

Just My 2cents worth..
While I agree generally with what you say, the last good sounding powerful and technically most advanced v8s I think will maintain a demand in perpetuity when all that is around is the vanilla EV baby custard on offer.

The vanilla EV baby custard will never give you that sound of 8 cylinder detonating fuel by explosions, with cherry on top Miami supercharger whine up front.

The last of the high tech quad cam v8s with superchargers are right in the mix of THE very best of the ICE engines, with the drama of the rear explosions and banshee wail of the supercharger up front.

It is a visceral experience combined with some 500 plus hp, totally different to a car from the 20 or 30s which was ICE in its infancy and being honest, boring in sound and performance.
