Which throws the wrench into the theory that the 13s will be more valuable since they were first. The most valuable of collector cars have the original engine. It doesn't matter why the original engine was changed it just matters that it was.
These cars may have some slight value after a long, long time but they will never, ever see collector car status. It just isn't there.
If I am wrong and in the far future they are selling for hundreds of thousands of 2059 Inter Galactic Megabucks then people are welcome to come and pee on my grave and say "I told you so".
Odds are that before they can gain any value they will be restricted to a few scattered driver operated driving parks where they will not interfere with the self driving vehicle infrastructure.
