Do you think the 370Z is a future classic?

kenchan

im sure the 370z will be a classic for its great looks like the 240z.

MKIV Supra was rare in numbers

FD3S RX7 was rare in numbers

These two are classics...So I think the Z34 will be one too.

The last 6 months, I've seen so many 370z in my area. I hated it!!!

I almost never see Z's in my hood. Production numbers on the 370s are pretty low; i also have a hunch that a lot of 370z are either totaled or trashed. I am willing to bet that they will be pretty rare 30 years from now.

HEK

I think not a classic but a collectable just like the Ford Pinto and AMC Pacer

UNKNOWN_370

I think with the little we know about the Z35? It has much more potential to be a classic. The 370 is an awesome car. But wasn't track-worthy enough compared to other cars of this generation. At best a collectible. In 09 my answer was the opposite by 2011. That changed.

See, I think I would classify it differently. Any car can become a classic, but only the more desirable can be a "collectable". Just My Humble Opinion.

I'm neither here nor there, whether it is or not. It certainly won't be while I'm around. My grandson ending up with mine is unlikely, and I know it would get treated like crap through all the lean 'teen' and early-twenties years anyway.
No point worrying about it.

I don't even consider 240s, 260s and 280s as classics. I had way too many friends with them so I'm real blase about them. The 260s didn't have a great rep even back then. Meh.

Saw one of the last Supras today. Plain Jane with skinny winter tires on it. It looked like a**.
OTOH, there is a beautiful black on black modded out one around here that looks simply spectacular.

It has more of a chance than the wanna-be throwback cars <ahemMustangCamaroChallengerahem>.

If you actually drive it though, it'll never be worth anything. I don't see the point of that.

Not sure if it's been said but I say no. The 350's are way to much of a teenagers ricer civic of the 90's. Now the 370's are starting that way. You can't have a "classic" if they're all destroyed and hacked up like that.

I'd argue that most of them getting destroyed might actually help the status of the remaining ones in the future. Things like initial production numbers, quality, and who drives them seem to have little to do with collectability decades later; I mean, who would have predicted in the 60's that Mustangs and VW Beetles/Microbuses would ever be worth anything? Those ricer kids are going to grow up someday. And when they do they're going to want a car that reminds them of their youth, but this time they're going to want one that isn't all $h*tted up like the one they had when they were 18.

Can't wait for all G35C to retire...except mine.

The 350/370 will become classics once hydrogen cells are the norm and gasoline is a rare commodity.

I'm going to remember this car as first production srm, one of the best v6 NA engines made.
Made so well its the hallmark of the infiniti brand. Heck even the z33 heart is in the Nissan cars
