that's kind of short sighted of you....
the 63 sd pontiac tempest/lemans wasn't the most popular car when it hit the streets either...
just last week one sold on ebay for almost 250,000 dollars...
no motor, no tranny, no rear end, rust bucket with bondo...
of course it was an sd=super duty...oh and it was one of six built with the racing package...

 

they're rare when you compare them to how many cobalts have been built this year..

 

a big thanks to everyone who has wrecked (at fault or not) their S. they made our cars that much more rare.



your welcome.

 

The FD should be a future classic.

 

Half of those things are convertible hahaha

 

Pretty cool article! One of the reasons why im seeking an S2000 in 2009. Ive always wanted one since they came out and am hoping to buy one and keep it forever.

Sorry to bring up this again...but as far as future classics go, do you think an AP1 would be more desirable than an AP2? Im either looking at a low mileage MY03 or if I go AP2...im gonna go for MY08 or 09. I love the new rims! Either yellow or white.

 

i guess i should wait the extra 2-3 years and pick up the last year model s2000 produced instead of cheapening out now and buying a 00/01 w/ like 150k miles.

 

Unbelievable!! To think about cars 30 years from now... Electric and alternative fuel vehicles will be the norm, so much so that gasoline powered cars will be reserved for vintage racing on a track or other off-road venues. Gasoline will also be available at the track or limited distribution points and will cost $20.00+ per gallon. Electric or alternative fuel conversions, making "older" cars streetable, will cost over $20,000 in today's dollars, making some collectible and expensive cars good candidates for a conversion, and lesser expensive cars not. Updated universal computer components will also become available as electronic parts for many of the different car makes will have long been out of production, and have not lasted beyond their life expectancy of 20 years. So, while I heavily favor keeping cars completely stock, it will be an impossibility if you want to keep your S2000 on the road 30 years from now, unless you wish to enjoy it roped off in a museum. This also does not bode well for $300,000 Hemi Cudas, and $100,000 Chevelles, etc., which will also be great to look at in museums, but will be limited to tracks where they can really open up, unless converted. In short, those of us who will be around 30 years from now will witness a great transition that will relegate our gasoline powered vehicles to that of the horse and buggy. Collectible 30 years from now? Highly unlikely. Your best bet is to enjoy your gas fueled vehicle today, and invest in something that produces income every year for you, rather than an investment/collectible that sits in your garage, only to have the privilege to be a historical care-taker for the next owner.

yeah...possible...but is this theory really probable?
30 years ago, the experts said we would all be using flying vehicles by the year 2000...
don't know about you, but i still haven't seen one....

 

It's an interesting theory. For all I know, it could be right. I believe there will be more electric vehicles than gas powered vehicles 30 years from now. But, I tend to believe as long as there's sufficient oil to sell, there's going to be cars on the road to burn it. The oil companies will make sure of that.
