Replying to: fintail (Jan 02, 2009 6:32 pm) I'm not fond of white because too often it reeks of fleet car. However, white is a good color to look at a car and decide if you will still like its design down the road since it tends to show design flaws. I did have a white Olds once and have to say it actually didn't show dirt as bad as black or dark blue.

Replying to: fintail (Jan 02, 2009 6:32 pm) I dislike burgundy interiors, period. Bright red accents can work on a sporty car. I never liked the Corvette's solid red interior (I think it had solid red carpet plus solid red leather seats and door panels, and maybe a black dash).

One man's opinion   Debate collectibility as you will, but the only one I really would like to own (again) is the 300ZX.

Replying to: lemmer (Jan 13, 2009 7:18 am) Out of all those... only the 911 is a sure thing.. The last air-cooled Porsche is already in high demand..   Out of the others? Maybe the Impala SS..   Ford Lightning? No one cares..   Aztek? Pleeease..   Fiero? Total crap..   Defender? Maybe.. never hear anyone talking about them, though... I see more interest in G-wagens..   300ZX? A pretty great car, but are there any nice ones left? I think they are all drifting machines...   Just one Host's opinion....

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 13, 2009 7:30 am) I'll wade in, too!   Aztek --- never in a million years. Maybe after our sun burns out.   Impala SS -- this is a minor collectible already but it seems to be a waning star even now. Iffy   93-98 Porsche 911 (993) -- definitely, especially once everyone realizes how much better the engine is than the 996 motor.   Fiero -- and when is this supposed to happen? It's been 20 years and you still can't give them away. MAYBE the V-6, 5 speed model will achieve the dizzy heights of the Corvair?   300ZX -- well first the 240Z, now almost 40 years old, will have to wake up. Doubtful the 300ZX will bet past "nice used car" status.   Ford Lightning -- who cares? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jan 13, 2009 9:22 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 13, 2009 9:27 am)

Replying to: lemmer (Jan 13, 2009 7:18 am) Who the heck is Mike Solowiow? Is that web site a joke? Edsel a classic? Aztek to be a classic? Is he really Mike Shamwow?

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 13, 2009 9:22 am) DEFENDER: Actually it's already a collectible, as horrible and nasty a thing as it is. You can get pretty good money for one of these if it's in nice shape and somehow is still running. I've seen prices at $40,000 and up and the money actually changed hands.   Goes to show ya' -- collect-ability has little to do with merit.   People buy what they like, and if you have more lovers than you do objects of their affection, the price is going up.

Replying to: lemmer (Jan 13, 2009 7:18 am) Even bigger laughs from the responses' proposed 'Future Classics': Subaru SVX 5.7 LT1 Buick Roadmaster and the Cadillac Fleetwood RX-7 and Supra 1997 to 2001 Acura Integra 1st gen Mazda 6 Marauder, or a late 90’s Crown Vic or Grand Marquis with the HPP option Consulier/Mosler, Vector, Saleen, SSC Celicas, Integras, Preludes, Supras, 300ZXs, 240SXs, SVXs Porsche 928 Vette C-4’s 4th-gen F-bodies and the ‘03-’04 Mustang Cobra Dodge SRT4 Lincoln Blackwood GMC Syclone etc, etc, etc...
