I have an Jaguar XKE of which total production was 72,000. Unquestionably collectible. If 370 production stops around 30-40,000 units, why would it not be a minor collectible.
dAvenue has a rationale:
Good point, but I'm not going to total mine today with an AT just to make it collectible later.  |
Funny you say this... I was thinking that yesterday. With the refresh kind of going backwards in a copycat design. The original front fascia of the current 370z may possibly be a collectible. Whenever you have a car of this engine size, performance and displacement combined with its pricing, it is bound to be a collectible. Car and driver can write all the brake issues they want. We know no one else except them has had such a catostropic experience. We also know a mild mod will help the issue.
Many a classic muscle car had serious issues in its day. And now today those issues are part of their collectible charm. DIY and correcting issues is part of the car culture as a whole... The Z platform is still among the best of the breed and I definately see collectible potential. Flaws and all.
30000 units means in a decade this car WILL be rare.
