That is interesting since I got this response on the GBS registry thread:

Did you purchase it anywhere special? You should respond on the GBS registry thread. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59132 If there was a chance yours was the first production model in the US, wouldnt you want to know? |

I'm not sure they will ever reach classic status. A un-modded version in good condition will surely sell for more than a modded version as today's older cars do.
Prior to this car I paid $4000 for a near mint, two owner, dealership only maintenance 91 civic Si. But in very good condition the same car goes for $3k. So 25 years from now, you might get an extra $1k if you keep it mint!!! :P

While the twins may never be considered true 'collectibles,' the first production FRS/BRZ most definitely WILL.
Example: The Datsun 240Z's average price now ranges from about $8,000 - $25,000, depending on condition. 101,575 240Z's were produced between 1969 and 1970. MSRP in 1970 was $3,500, but with inflation you pretty much break even. HOWEVER, I've heard of offers to the owner of #13 (1st production 240Z) of over $70k. You probably would do better invested in the market, but hey... if cars were a good investment, I'd have more. Just my 2 cents.

The term "collectors items" is subjective. Its like saying an ae86, mkIV supra, 300zx, 240sx, 180sx, mr2s, starions.... the list goes on and on, are not collector items because they are "mass produced". Production number =/= collector status. |
