No disrespect intended but what would the value of the BMW be in 30 years.

Depends on how famous the person who dies in it is. No disrespect.

So how about if I purchased it!
Sh*t, didn't read the "dies in it" bit. Brocky never died it that car!

Over the next 5 years the HDT will obviously be a better investment than a near-new BMW, but since 30 years' time has been mentioned, I do have to wonder if either car will be worth much by then!
Most of the people who give a monkeys' about classic Holdens of thelate 1970s will be very old and tired by then. At that point, an HDT Commodore might be little more than in obscure curiosity.

And on a slightly related note - where do all the old HSVs go!
I remember at around the turn of the century, this shape of HSV was the latest and greatest. http://www.scorpiocars.net/images/Holden/2001%20Holden%20HSV%20Clubsport%20R8.jpg .I remember thinking what good-looking cars these were, and thinking what a turn-around this was because all of the recent hot Fords and Holdens had been just a mess.
And these cars were everywhere on the roads when they were new!But where are they all now! Haven't seen one on the road for ages. Have they all been thrashed to death by the time they're 10 or 11 years old! Or are the fans already keeping them squirreled away for sunday drives!

They were everywhere because every 2nd owner and dealer decked there V6s out with HSV kits.

What where you wearing in 1979! Whatever it was it would now be considered old and funny and abit garish, unless its done full circle and fashionable again. Thats assuming you were alive in 79 of course.

Very much alive and I'd grown out of my flared nappies too. (there are 70s cars that still look good today - but that's not one o them)

lol exactly, there were very few that were actually genuine.No doubt a few of the good ones left have been squirrelled away and plenty of the others have been written off, hence not many on the road.
