Are These 10 Future Classics?

Justice97 · 01-08-2014, 04:24 PM

Yes

XiP · 01-08-2014, 04:31 PM

I think so

/Angelo350Z/ · 01-08-2014, 04:33 PM

I sure hope so.

Tazicon · 01-08-2014, 04:41 PM

I think so, at least the Nismo. I also like the fact that Rubicons are included.

ElVee · 01-08-2014, 04:44 PM

I think the Z is a borderline case. We'll have to see where the next Z goes. For classics, you have to have demand as well; people who want to buy it either for what it stands for, for the rarity of it, the quality, or the performance. Is the Z high in all of those categories? Yup, but is it high enough to get on the radar of people who care about classics? There's the question... Thankfully the car is low production and has great balance and very good performance. It has the makings!

I'll let you know in 30 years. Stay tuned.

Absolutely... on the Nismo...especially with the limited numbers. I watched Chasing Classic Cars

The 2014 nismo, maybe they will make the two tone next year too

That is the ugliest Camaro I have ever seen.

Maybe but that's the COPO Camaro. Instant classic and they are only making 20 I think. Designed to be driven 1/4 mile at a time. Gas Monkey Garage guy bought 11 of them for $80K/copy. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

kenchan · 01-09-2014, 07:27 AM

Z yes, others questionable.

wstar · 01-09-2014, 08:03 AM

It depends on the next Z design iteration I think. If they keep making it better and the next car improves on the 370 the way the 370 did on the 350, then the 370 will just be a speed bump in the big picture. If on the other hand they go in a totally different direction in the name of cost, fuel efficiency, and/or being hybrid, and this ends up being the last really performancy Z for a long time, then it will be classic.

First one will be sold at the Barret Jackson auction.

Yes, that's it, 69 (first COPO in 1969). Gas Monkey guy bought 11 or so he claimed on his TV show. I guess he won't be taking delivery until after the B-J auction. My money is on Rick Hendrick buying it at B-J or he already has a deal with GM. I'd also take a guess that Jay Leno will have one.
