1995 ford drives much better, has newer technologies and all. So why does and old one cost more? Must have something to do with being at least partially classic, otherwise what else do you pay more for?

yes, you are right, classic is a measurement, not necc yes or no. so yes, it's not wrong to say that a generic 65 ford is a classic car
but desirability and rarity define a classic. if that car had a certain motor or impact on the automotive world or low production #s, it would be more classic than just an old car.
the reason it would sell for more than a 95 Ford is it's more rare and desirable in certain circles than a 1995 Ford LTD for instance. so middle aged white guy got laid for the first time in the back of his parent's 1965 Ford and he want to relive the nostalgia. and overall, right now, it's cooler to tool around in a 1965 ford more so than a 1995 ford.
