I don't think they're really going to be worth much in 10 years either, just look at Miata prices. Maybe more like 50 years.

The difference is that the special cars above have transcended car status and are truly art. Art will hold it's value better than cars usually. Of course, there are a few random vehicles that have incredible resale values, though no one can pinpoint the reason. My FJ is one of them thankfully, but take a look at some of the Land Rover Defenders. They've actually gone up in value since production stopped. I'm hoping the same happens with my FJ since they're not being produced after this year.
