I have no idea whether 5th Gen Z/28s will be collectible in the future, but if they are it will be for a combination of these reasons:
1. The 5th generation has been a popular generation.
2. The Z/28 is the "most" Camaro you could get in the 5th generation.
3. The iconic 427 (and very likely the last large-displacement N/A V8 used in a Chevy).
4. It was reviewed extremely well by virtually every automotive publication that got to wring one out - including 2014 Best Driver's Car.
5. There is far more to it than a sticker package - CCBs, DSSV dampers, functional aero package, etc. (i.e. There are significant, substantial and costly upgrades over the standard Camaro).
6. Fewer than 1800 built.
Your screen name is 1970 Judge (I assume you're referencing a GTO and not that you are a 46 year old magistrate) - what characteristic does the 1970 Judge have that makes it desirable and collectible that a 5th Gen Z/28 does not/will not have in 30-40 years?

#3 is the difference down the road, like every preceeding Camaro for the last 48 years the collector money follows the motor. B4C's ILE's are just suspension/brake upgrades with the exclusion of the third gens which had a few more kibbles and bits like driveshaft and baffled tank,but no HP difference. The Gen 5Z is from another planet respective to like parts from your average SS,and that doesn't even factor the exclusivity of the motor. Think GNX with these in twenty years IMO,I.E 3X the current valuations ,or perhaps Ford GT in ten?. Much easier ways to make money, but money in the bank they will be.
