Modern classic cars...post 1995?

[GRADS]

What 30 year old cars do you think will be collectible in the future? Maybe they already are? Curious on opinions.

 

[GRADS]

I had a Viper that I held onto forever thinking it would increase in value, I got bored. I've moved onto Mercedes.

[attitude]

Clean GMT800 single cab short bed V8s, they are already expensive.

04-06 GTOs

C6 vettes

Any manual car

BMW M3 and M5. Especially manual versions. The mid/late 90s M3's are already fetching good money.

 

[Badchoices03]

Acura NSX
Nissan Skyline GTR

 

[ekbearly]

I remember hearing they were coming back out with the GTO and then the utter disappointment I felt when I saw it.

As to any manual car, I'm confident in my decision to let my 2004 Hyundai Accent go. It was a great car, but all things must come to an end.

And not shitting on you, just 2 random thoughts that came to my head.

The GTO is definitely an acquired taste, I had an 04 and loved it but not many people shared that same love when it came to the looks. They are rare so I’m sure they will demand a premium someday.

As far as manual cars go, I should have said manual sports cars lol.

I really expected a RWD V8. My Matco dealer had one that he road raced. He enjoyed the hell out of it.

They are RWD V8s, they shared the same drivetrain as the matching year base model corvettes.

Maybe I'm misremembering, I thought it was a supercharged 3800 FWD. Either way, didn't care for the looks. I worked at a Buick dealer, so I never got any through the bay.

 

[mjc]

CTS v wagons and a manual if you can find one. Already cost as much as new now.

Maybe you are thinking of the Monte Carlo SS?

 

[ChumpChange]

1993 Mustang Cobra. Last of the Fox Body.

 

[81Sprint]

Who could leave out the 96 Beretta Z26???

I had one. loved that car, unfortunately a south texas flood deep enough to go over the top of the roof claimed it

Hummer

I'll second the C6 Vettes. I have a 2013 60th anniversary 427 convertible that I'm pretty sure has gone up in value. This model was basically the only convertible C6 Z06 ever made.

 

[GregG]

2006 Audi S8, first year with the V10

 

[530RL]

05 - 06 Ford GT

E30 M3

[eand28]

01-07 duramax trucks and pretty much gmt800’s in general

 

[jetboatperformance]

Is it just me or do "Modern and Classic" not seem to go together ?

 

[evantwheeler]

A 25 year old truck in high school ('75 in '00) felt MUCH older than a 30 year old truck currently does.

 

[TrollerDave]

Eventually, modern will become classic, or just old.

There is a guy in town with a Black 05 GTO, nothing a care about, but he has some nasty exhaust on it, sounds good going by. Just giving some credit to the GM folks.

I’ve thought about this, not just 30 yo cars but even newer.
I think the Dodge line of Hellcats and Demons will definitely be considered. Maybe the Jeep Trackhawk.

 

[clark]

Yup.

I have a 93 4x4 and my fav is my 91 4x4 lifted 5spd V6 that i keep in the garage, love my toyotas

 

[TimeBandit]

The amount of plastic is the big problem with modern cars becoming "classics" or aging well at all.

My OBS Yukon has a dash that has broken at all the upper mounting points, no easy fix for that.

Newer vehicles use plastic intake manifolds, timing chain housings, chain guides... that won't age well.

Fuel injection components, injectors, pumps, control units and wiring isn't simple like a carb to keep running.

Add to that "sticky" trim / switches / buttons that again are unobtanium.

50's / 60's cars and trucks used steel. Stainless steel even... that is why they are still "restorable".

 

[SeanRitchie]

I'm hoping my 2008 Trailblazer SS will make this list. I go back and forth on whether I should leave it as is or go full retard with a built/supercharged LS and 6-speed auto.

 

[Cole Trickle]

Anything manual and RWD. (American and Japanese)

RCSB Trucks

Syclones/Typhoons.Buick GN's (duh)

Supras,rx7,miata,nsx,s2000 (duh)

Vipers ,vettes,camaros,firebirds,mustangs ,Impala SS , mercury marauder

Holden Vehicles

Gen 2 + CTS-v/Blackwings

Hellcat powered vehicle's eventually once they hit peak and dip.

Older civic hatch backs/Integra's with a manual

 

[1tonfun]

I have an 05 chevy short bed standard cab and I get offers on it weekly

 

[rrrr]

They're definitely going to be rare, because in time most of them will be crashed. See YouTube for details.

 

[Willie B]

…Gen 2…94-97…Dodge Ram 2500 Extra Cab…4x4…12 valve Cummins Diesel…a really nice one is already at $40 K…

I'm sorry, Corvettes don't go up in value. Way too many were made. Maybe, maybe an edition like you have. But that's a maybe at best. I would not "invest" in them. Not discounting them, it's just what I've seen a lot of.

 

[lakemadness]

Anything Porsche, specifically air-cooled. Many German cars from the early 90s to the early 2000s. M3, M5, Mercedes E500, E55, some of the SL's etc.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Once CA gets done banning ICE vehicles, any ICE vehicle will be a modern classic. Assuming CA doesn't just ban DMV renewals for anything ICE immediately after.

Just checked and it seems like I could sell mine for about $10K more than I paid.

These are essentially an import of the Australian Holden if i remember correctly right?

They were badass sleepers back in the day, RWD with an LS1

 

[COCA COLA COWBOY]

I would buy AMG Mercedes, Porsche and BMW's with low build numbers. They are crazy cheap for the 20-30 year old ones.
