Our modern day collectables?

73SC · A Poncho Legend!

I have been looking for a red Reatta for a long time, that is number one choice. A Cadillac Allante with a 300 HP Northstar would be insane too, can't imagine how fast they are, just know that my Deville is scary fast so an Allante must be terrifiying.

Always wanted a Solstice but my wife says we can't carry any grandchildren in that one, but I still want one or a G6 convertible. Like your selections.

A neighbor picked up a black one from Vancouver Island last fall. Nice car. There's another fella a few blocks away with a red one. If I ever get the chance, I'll ask him if it's in his long term sights...

From that list? I would hold out for the GTO, not many around and lots of horses under the hood.

I've always wanted 6a, so it would be that and #3.

Wow

! Those last pictures have hit home. Great job. Now to figure out how to print that?

For some reason I thought about this list all week. I guess a deep down fear of seeing anything pre-199? go to the crusher. Also, some of these cars are really affordable. So realistically, it's almost worth a gamble......if I only had the room.

So make your own list. And even think of something off-shore. I'd like to squeeze a
Bentley Turbo R on my list somewhere.

My #6. It's been a great truck. Not many Daytona short box, regular cab units out there. My series number is #02566 embossed on the dash.

Ray the 4.5 is a better choice in the Allante' Why? THe 93 North*'s are problem engines, poor metallurgy, etc. The 4.5 roller cam Allante' only engines are super dependable and almost as fast stock. I can testify as after having 3 of them they are awesome cars and very undervalued in the current market.
Allante' is still the most expensive car GM has ever built, but they never had a power top, which they offered on a frigin' Cavalier at the same time!

My choices from the past 25 years, a bit ecclectic and odd, but...

1990-1992 ZR1 Vette
2002 WS6 Trans Am
1987 Grand National
1992 Viper-not the best maybe, but it was the first
1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula N10/MM5/GM3-just found out about these, very rare.
1986 Dodge Omni GLH-S-yeah it's a box but so what
1991 Syclone/Typhoon
1996 Impala SS
2003 Mercury Marauder-these were built locally
and to put a foreign car in here, even though it's not exotic or really desireable, 1987 Toyota Celica GT/GTS...i had one and had a lot of fun with that car, 5spd a must

not on anyones list but..

LN7 NUT · Addicted!

Wow, I haven't seen a bubble back Pontiac like that in eons!

I saw the Solstice on that list, but the Saturn Sky and especially the Sky Redline will be a lot rarer in the future, mainly because they are not common now.

For my list it's not because I think any of them will be of any value, but because I like them.

In no particular order:

1982-83 Mercury LN7

1982-85 Ford EXP

early 90's Geo, Suzuki, Metro... whatever they are all the same, convertible. (I just got one)

http://allencarswell.com/estore/images/1994%20Metro.jpg

1986ish Lincoln LSC (very fast, good on gas, very fast, I have 5 of them from 85-89)

https://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/EXP_LN7_Club/IMG_0155.jpg

Dodge Dakota convertible.

1972 Dodge Coronet Custom Topper, used primarily as taxis and Police cars, they are mostly gone due to being driven to death (I have a Police car one that I bought for $1)

[Could not find a single photo online, so I will have to upload mine later.]

Chrysler TC by Maserati

http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/alfieri30/chrysler-01a.jpg

And I bet I will think od lot more later...

The Plymouth Prowler. The PT Cruiser could some day be a collectible much like old VW bugs are.

Greetings

I gotta be careful as I am a die hard Mopar buff. The Crossfire is a Volkwagen built, Daimler supplied, Chrysler engined unit that was not marketed all that well. Nice unit but not supported worth a damn, much like the forgotten Merkur XRZ@#.

I have a lightly modded Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 which may be collectable in the future, hard to tell as they will depreciate for a looooooong time before they ever become valuable.

My 1966 Chrysler 300 convertible has some folks now looking at it and waondering what it is. I get people saying " gee, did Chrysler make a 300 before 1999 ? " It is a classic land barge that may get collectable some day.

My list of future post say '99 MY collectables would also include;

1999 ( was to be an Eagle ) Chrysler 300M
2005 Rumble B ( and Deltas 2005 Daytona)
06 through 10 Dodge/Jeep/300/Viper/Dodge truck/Crossfire SRT4, 6 and 8's
300 Heritage
2008 SRT8 Challengers/Furious Fuscia/Mark10/Hurst/and possibly the unauthorised convertibles.

Well, enough with the dreaming . . .

Regards

yak · Addicted!

you can buy an 04-06 dodge ram srt-10 for around 25000 these days with low miles and guaranteed they are gonna be collectible/desirable in the future....especially since lots of the 9000 built are wrecked now

Delta Tango · Guru

One thing is for sure, we may have Pontiacs somewhere in our stables here, but as far as owning and/or expertise, Mopar is a stong second, followed by our Ford guys.
