Define Classic. If you are talking about something that has value because of what it is in rarity, then not no but hell no.

Interesting note. One of my side hustles used to be buying old car batteries. One of my customers had 20 deep cycle 12 volt batteries that all matched in age and brand. After talking with the nice and well dressed gentleman who was selling them, he told me he belonged to a car club that just did converted cars. Apparently most of them were engineers and machinists who were able to retro fit electric forklift engines into older cars and have everything work just as it came from the factory. Interesting thought. He would say what it cost, but he did say it was a labor of love that wouldn't be possible without the tools of their trade.
