barrett jackson auction

While watching the Barrett Jackson car auction, I was wondering if any
cars built since 1990 will ever become a collector or classic car? Aside
from the obvious ones- Camaro, Corvette, Mustang, Challenger, etc.
Any thoughts or opinions?

That 1989 Turbo Trams Am in real nice shape only went for something like $15,000. I was kind of surprised it went that low. There were other cars that went for money that in no way could you build them for that.

The Viper and Prowler also stand out. The rest of the cars look like cookie cutter copies of foreign imports. It's hard to tell one model from the next.

This was discussed over on Turbotransam.com. I think it had a salvage title. It sold last year at BJ for around 19 grand.

A Firehawk went for $20,000 with under a 1000 miles on it.
