Most collectors aren't in it for the money. That's part of it, but the car is more important than it's value. There are some pure investors in it, but true old car lovers tend to look down on them as parasites. I wouldn't keep a car I was afraid to drive because of it's value.
Although if I did inherit something like a Hemi 'Cuda I'd take it out and thrash it. A little bit.  ;)

Can't you tell that I'm hoarding pickup trucks that nobody else wants right now?

Anyway, if you consider the true value of something as a percentage of the buyer's net worth, this Supra is probably equivalent to 2% or less. In my case, I have no net worth, but let's call it annual income. 2% of my shit income is about $600. I would gladly bid 3% of my annual income for  this Supra. You see, now I win the dick swinging contest.
Speaking of your collection, the Ranger, presuming that it can be restored to a reasonable condition, will likely be worth a few bills to the right buyer.  The prices I've seen for 20 year old Rangers is quite surprising.

The question is, is it worth more with a paint job, or the "patina"?

Depends on whether the 'patina' is full of holes. :huh:
