I agree it's still not a worthy investment however: Not counting extra storage cost and upkeep I do tihnk the value of these will increase significantly. I don't think inflation will affect niche commodities (like these will become) that much, if at all. We can all agree that these will become cult classics.. combine that with all the electric/assisted.. all around not driver focused cars that will be coming out in 20 years and these may just be some of the last Front engine, manual, RWD, gas powered Sports cars we will ever see... That is sometihng special and it could be worth a shit ton to somebody down the road.

The reality of the matter is that the majority of these cars are bought by people just using them as a car. Most of the people on this forum are the exception not the rule.
Nah still don't see it becoming a huge classic. Never really know until it hits though. Most of the cars that get the good money are ones that guys wanted but couldn't afford when they were young. These are affordable so not so hard to get. There will be the secondary group of guys that owned one back 20 years ago and want to be nostalgic but that is always a smaller market. As far as new drivers 30 years from now go they will probably have never even known these existed and be totally oblivious as to the merits.
The "collector" market is fickle at best and that makes predictions almost impossible.
