puma im in high school i can't afford alot of stuff since i go to school everyday. i have a rust free 1987 nissan 300zx i bought that was side swiped and im in the process of fixing it to resell it for a profit. I can't really afford the title because me and my dad have tons of projects going including a 1985 corvette, 1969 camaro,1993 caprice,1991 caprice that nissan 300zx and my trans am. I also have dibs on a 1989 rs camaro roller if the guy decides to sell it. Does it look like i can afford a $350 title right now?

Also some people don't understand you have to sacrifice cars to have parts. Cars with bad titles and no titles should be parted out. IF they have rotted floors etc.....

marokid some advice don't have to many parts cars in your yard at once. My dad had a couple 68 maro's in are yard and he got turned in for "non-operable" vehicles or something like that. They ended up hauling 2 camaros off and they got crushed. He also had to sell 1 mint condition 1979 monte and another project 79 monte. Another thing too if marokid didn't save the cars for parts they would ended up being crushed and wasted. so i would thank marokid for saving cars and providing parts.

It would be nice if people would mind their own business. I know of a few cars that were taken away/lost/destroyed/sold/whatever that would have been worth a lot now, just because people who are not into collecting/restoring/modifying vehicles just don't understand, and it looks like a pile of trash to them.

Some simple car covers can save a lot of hassle, out of site, out of mind. I know around here a car cover is enough to keep the "inoperable/non-plated" rules at bay.

EXACTLY!!! The next door neighbor was the one who did it! We couldn't put them in the garage because my dad had a 85 corvette and a 69 z-28 in the garage.

Then it doesn't sound like you need to be buying anymore cars if you can barely afford to keep one on the road on its last legs.

Again, prioritize.

Also, junky cars in the driveway, regardless of what they are or are worth, ARE an eyesore to the neighborhood. I'd almost say a car with a cover over it is more of an eyesore than the car itself. I personally wouldn't report it, but I can see where people would get tired of looking at it, just like looking at someone's old crappy boat sitting in the driveway, or some ratty RV on flat tires with pieces of firewood behind the wheels.

i bought that 1991 caprice because i got it for dirt cheap, plus i got that 300zx because i knew i could make a profit so i could get parts for my GTA.

I see he musta mailed you some of that crack huh?
Sorry to break the news to you...but you're not sitting on a gold mine.
Nice Thirdgens make up about 1% of the total produced over ten years.
Ultra low mileage originals on here have a hard time getting over 10 grand today.
In 20 years, they'll be lucky to get 5 grand.

Rusted out shells of a 69 have sold for more than a rust free Thirdgen. You won't EVER be able to say that about any of these cars vs. any other car in the future period.

They're not even in the same stratosphere as a musclecar, now...or ever.

the only really collectible cars will be iroc's, GTA's and the aniversary cars.

Maybe on this website, but get off thirdgen.org and you'd be surprised to learn that there actually are people out there who aren't colossal cheap-asses.

Show me one mint, original, sub-25k mile car that is selling or has sold in 2011 for less than $10k. Let's see what you got.

Anniversary cars won't be worth anything more than a non-anniversary car; if there's one thing history has told us, it's that bogus sticker and stripe appearance packages don't increase value. If it's not a performance package, it adds nothing.

what about the 82' indy pace car? it just had fancy decals on it. People seem to want those.

Not really. At any given time there are several for sale for around $3k-$7k. There were also 6,000 built, so not really rare.

As I said earlier, it won't be much longer and people will laugh at you for thinking these cars will never be worth anything. The nice cars have already started to increase in value. That is a FACT!!! History has a funny way of repeating itself and these cars are following the same path that most of the muscle cars followed. Will they ever sell for the same money that muscle cars sell for...maybe not. However, they will still greatly appreciate in price in the future.

In fact, the high prices of muscle cars will naturally lead to an increase in the price of these cars. As more people get priced out of the muscle car market, those people will look for other cars to buy and these cars will increase in popularity and price will rise. Also, as more and more of the rougher cars are srapped or parted out the values of the surviving cars will continue to rise. That's just the simple principle of supply and demand.

If you want to deny these cars will ever increase in value that's fine but you're totally ignoring the history of the collector car market. Twenty five years ago people said muscle cars would never be worth anything. In the late 80's high school parking lots were loaded with muscle cars that kids picked up for a few hundred dollars. Today, it's the 80's cars that the young kids are buying for cheap. However, it won't be much longer until most of the rougher thirdgens are gone and all that will be left is the nicer cars leaving a lot of people priced out of the thirdgen market.

The writing's already on the wall and it should be obvious to just about anybody who understands the collector car market that these cars will definitely increase in value. The fact that nice cars are ALREADY increasing should make it even more obvious.

Why don't you check back with me in twenty years and we'll see who's right?
