Which car made in the last 29 years will be a collector?

**4XGore** · 01-15-2009, 01:08 AM

Besides the CJ that is. I was thinking that there are a lot of cars from the 60's and 70's that are sought after and of course 50's cars and many from years before that. But what car made since 1980 do you think will be searched for or will get top dollar in the future?
I think the Delorean will due to how few were made and of course it's fame from Back to the future. What about Corvetts? Does anyone think that anyone will be hopeing to find a sweet 1992 Lumina stuffed away in a barn somewhere or a 1985 Mercury Topaz?

mabey the newer mustangs. some of the new "muscle" cars most likely. on the barrett-jackson auto auction alot of the high dollar cars where from the 80's suprisingly.

lots of exotic sports cars , theres a bunch of unique models made like the lambo revention and there allready collecters cars .... as for collecters / restorers think about the IROC , and a very rare car like a 88 Foxbody GT thats already decently hard to find. There's going to be quite a few cars.

i hope it never comes down to people searching barns for a "kick-***" Geo metro or the like.

I guess I should put in the stipulation of no super cars. I was thinking cars that anyone could afford. Of course Lamborghini and Bugatti are going to be collectors but I'm thinking about cars like the IROC mentioned above or maybe a VW Fox.

Buick Grand Nationals and GNX's already have a following.

I predict Fox body notchback 5.0 LX Mustangs. That is why I have an mint, original, unmolested low mile one tucked away in my garage.

double post.

Buick Grand Nationals and GNX's without a doubt, the 86 or 87 to 93 fox bodies are already going up in value, ASC McLaren Ford Mustang & Mercury Capri (kicking myself for 1986 Mercury Capri ASC McLaren Convertible I passed up a few years back), and I am not to sure about the last of my choices but I also thought the 1989-1995 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe would take off as well.

I doubt the Ford Taurus SHO will but I always thought they were cool (kinda) cars.

Mostly ones from companies that don't exist, like AMCs, thats pretty much it. I honestly don't expect anything made in the last 15 years or so to be sought after.

xxxflhrci · 01-15-2009, 05:13 AM

I don't see any car made by AMC during the 80's ever being a highly sought after prize....Sure, CJ's, but none of the cars.

**Motorcharge** · 01-15-2009, 05:22 AM

I'd take it over any Mustang made in the last 29 years.

xxxflhrci · 01-15-2009, 05:41 AM

Yeah, a 1980 Spirit with a 258 is a really performance machine. It just barely out performs the AMC Hornet that I had as a driver's ed car in the 80's. Even the '79 with a 304 was pathetic.....125 hp.

Not like engines can't be swapped
