I ordered my 2010 in June of 08, the guy in front of me in line ordered 2, 1 to drive and 1 to save "for his kids college fund". Its parked in his garage right now up on jackstands with the wheels and tires bagged and stored on the wall. Theres stories like that everywhere. And all those people in 25 or so years are going to flood the market with these ultra low mileage cars, that probably will barely even run from not being preserved properly.

In general almost any car made in this era will not see the ten fold values of the muscle cars from the golden Muscle Car era. I predict that in 25-30 years the collectors may look kindly towards 5th gens, but except for a one of one (a copo that's one of a kind) type of model, I highly doubt that the values will go ten times over the original sticker. I would consider it a good appreciation if one day a 5th genner may get a value equal to its original selling price; I'd say in 30-35 years.

Excellent counter point. Even if a car appreciates, by the time you deduct the cost of storage, upkeep and maintenance (not including restoration costs), one would be hard pressed in seeing a net profit in owning a car over time. A car has to be valued in what it gives the owner and its admirers; Any residual value after this makes a nice compliment...like a free meal lol!

Not necessarily always. Good example is first gen Indy pace cars. The '67 production has been lost to history and often stated to be 100, but there are more on the registry than that. The majority of them were made for use at the track and a few dealers managed to order replicas. Might be around 200 of them.
The '67 proved so popular and many dealers were upset at missing out in '67, so Chevrolet actually created RPO Z-11 so anyone anywhere could go to any Chevy dealer and order a '69 Indy Pace Car Replica. There were 3,675 pace cars replicas made in '69. Very, very few of those were ever even near the Speedway unlike in '67. So you'd think ~200 vs. 3675 would make the '67 more "valuable" but the '69 trumps them big time in popularity. There were more of them and they were all around the country and more people remember them. The absolute most common thing I hear when I say I have a '67 Camaro pace car is "Oh, the white and orange one?" Man if I had a dollar... On average at auction the '69's kick the '67's butts, even with so few '67's made the popularity of the '69 drives the price. Always exceptions! Last edited by MLL67RSSS; 06-04-2015 at 09:15 AM. |

Incidentally I had the opportunity to buy 1 of 6 1998 Trans Am WS6's in Purple, it was a factory color that was quickly discontinued and replaced with NBM because it didn't adhere properly to the cars. It was selling for less than the same car in any other color.... because in the end, its a Purple Trans Am!

Who thought that back in the day that the 1960s muscle cars would be worth what they are today? These cars sold used thru the 1970s for practically nothing. Look what they go for today.
