Last night during the 1st night's coverage of the Barrett-Jackson auction, the three announcers commented (it went something like this...) that any car that was mass produced, is really not usually a good candidate as a "collectable car".
They went on to say there are exceptions like ZR1 corvettes, which one announcer said originally was pricey, costing over 60k. And then they said... and then there are those Buick Grand Nationals with the turbos... They all agreed they like GN! I have Tivo, so I re-played it so my wife could hear it!
Later in the show, a low mileage 86 vette could barely raise $10,000! Think about it, our cars cost half of what a Vette cost new and now, a clean, low mileage TR is worth about double what the Vette is worth! We buy the caars for fun, but they look like good investments also. Paul
