For Honda's I think an unmolested Intergra Type R, CRX (I see ALL of their generations) increasing in value. I saw an unmolested 1991 white CRX manual on Autotrader the other day for $18,000, I highly doubt he will get it but still looked impressive.
One Honda that has suprised me with increasing value is my 1966 Honda S600 roadster, I had been looking for one for years, they would run ~$3000, now I have not seen one for sale <$20,000 and that's if you can even find one.
If you like others, I have notived a large increase in the values of OEM Porsche 914-6's and I also agree with unolelested 1995 MR2 Turbo's. The Japanese Nostalgic trend is really heating up so early 70's, 80's Honda's, Toyotas, Nissan/Datsuns (240Z anyone) are getting popular again and hard to find.
Good luck.

One of the most obvious example is the Porsche 911 993. Especially the TT.
MKIV Toyota Supra TT; I miss mine
In my limited scope of cars, this is what I'd buy for my collection:
1. 1997 Acura Integra Type R
2. 2002 Honda S2000, white with red interior
3. 1995 Mustang Cobra R
4. 1991 (?) Toyota Celica All-Trac
5. BMW 850
6. The new Ford Boss 302 Laguna Seca edition
7. The new Chevy Camaro SS
8. 1987 Buick Grand National
9. 1993 Mazda RX-7 R1
1. 1997 Acura Integra Type R
2. 2002 Honda S2000, white with red interior
3. 1995 Mustang Cobra R
4. 1991 (?) Toyota Celica All-Trac
5. BMW 850
6. The new Ford Boss 302 Laguna Seca edition
7. The new Chevy Camaro SS
8. 1987 Buick Grand National
9. 1993 Mazda RX-7 R1
I have a few in mind
1. E34 m5
2. Integra type r
3. E39 m5
4. E46 m3
5. 997 turbo
With the new cars becoming less user friendly every year, it will stir up the market and you will see people buying older cars so they can actually work on the cars without having to bring it to the dealer.

I did not purchase my 77 SL MBZ to be a collector car. I have driven it to around 120K miles in 35 years. Do you guys think this car will have some collector value? Your thoughts?
BMW E30 M3
BMW Z8
Porsche 993S and turbo
Ford GT
NSX

If everything is restored properly then you have a gem in your garage.
I have relatives who own collections of cars, and none of the cars listed by all of you are even on the radar. Well, the Ford GT is one of them and when a cousin of mine tried to sell it at an auction recently the bids only got to $125k. His GT was factory modified to 750hp and the reserve was $185k.
Go to RM auctions and browse some of the previous years sales. It will give an idea of what brands of cars are collectible, and which are not.

The car is all OEM. In fact, it still has the original wheels that match the color of the car. The exterior has a couple of modest blemishes to the paint
and the interior looks like new. I changed the original Becker radio sometime ago and put in a Blaupunkt radio.
I have babied the car over the last 35 years using it largely for weekend travel during good weather. If you had to appraise a value now or later what would you think we are looking at? Your thoughts?
If you're the original owner with all the original manual my guess is around $15K.
The car is a classic!

MANY thanks!!
<<<< Yup! Couldn't agree more...haha.:biggrin:
993's especially the widebody "S" , C4S (mine), and TT's all command higher pricing.
surprised that nobody mentioned e30
Now this is a car I'm thinking will be worth more in the future, anybody know anything about a 1982 Toyota starlet

It's cool to own but I doubt the price will go up in the future.
Limited edition F cars and special P cars. But i think our youth will be so stupid who knows what they will want. Likely not anything that we would want to hold.
Steel early amerifan that are candidates for rodding like the popular models like Willys and Anglias are going up all the time.

Low mileage stock S2000's hold their value and I've noticed they've been increasing in price these past few years.
I just sold my 05' S2000 (17k miles) to a local Honda Dealership for $19k. I bought it last year for $17k with 13k miles. Probably could have gotten $21k private party, but didn't want to go through the hassle. I'm happy :biggrin:

BINGO.
cars != investments.
the best you can do within a reasonable timeframe is to buy on that has for the most part depreciated to the point that it wont depreciate much further. an early 90s nsx would be a basic example.

Most definately! One recently went for $148k at an auction.
I think any 2 door pre-80 BMW's are very good candidates. Remember the M1. My favorite would have to be the E9 CS coupes from the late 60's to mid 70's. The msrp for them were around $7k and now for a decent one that still needs work $15k and for a really nicely properly restored one for over $50k. Only a few thousand were imported into the USA and were all hand made at the Karmann factory. Downside is that they suffered the rust worm really easily and not many are road worthy anymore. But the E9 that you really want to get your hands on one are the CSL. Good luck finding one for less than $100k now.
