At 57 you're 8 years from Medicare eligibility, 10 years from SS FRA. Unless you want to pay for private health insurance, you need to keep working until 2030. You just took a pay cut and are now contemplating burning a large sum of cash for a garage addition to store cars you don't drive. Even you know those cars have probably peaked in value.

Were I in your position, I would not bet a good chunk of my future retirement funds on old Muscle Cars being a wise investment. There is tremendous pressure to get rid of fossil fuels. 12 state governors have asked the current administration to ban the sale of new fossil-fueled cars by 2035. Maine has already raised the possibility of banning gasoline.

By the time you retire, the world and our hobby will be a very different place.
