Ok, now you're just talking about a "classic" car show. This all goes back to what I said earlier. Most people that collect and/or restore muscle cars were around during the muscle car era. It's what they're comfortable with and grew up wanting.
Flash forward to today.... Have you ever been to a NOPI show? There are just as many young kids at a NOPI show as there are older people at classic car shows, if not more. It's just a new era....
It's plain and simple. A kid wants what his friend or next door neighbor has, and in most cases nowadays, his friend drives a turbo'd SI or twin turbo Supra, and not a 64 Galaxie or 66 Mustang.
