I have seen a lot of discussion on this and that I would put this out there to get some opinions. I think we can all agree that age and production numbers have quite a bit to do with how collectible a vehicle may become, obviously if there are only 5 of a vehicle made it will retain/gain more value than one that they produce 5,000 of. It is not unlike many other collectible items. I feel that the overall value of a vehicle depends on demand that the "collectors" place on it.
To me it seems strange to talk about a new vehicle being a collector's item one day. I feel that many owners of cars that you see going at BJ or other auctions didn't purchase it because they thought, "one day this will be worth a ton!" Anyway, looking forward to seeing what you think.

 

I think the boss guys think that their cars are collectible. Even though the 13 is coming and probably a body change in 15. Let's see how well this one goes.

 

The Boss IS a limited production vehicle and some colors even more rare than others. I could see the one off Blaze Yellow and White being a possible collector's car one day. I plan to own mine forever and can't imagine it being found in a barn years after I am gone, but if it was would it be worth $$$$$$$$$s?

 

My 500 IS too.

 

Fixed.

 

Fixed lol

 

I had too.

 

What makes a car collectable??? According to the boss guys their "GT" with the fancy intake manifold and stickers make it highly collectable .

 

So much for getting a real response in this thread, you guys are gonna scare everyone away! I'm taking my ball and going home!

 

O wait... I'm sorry.. I forgot about the poster! You can't lose the poster! It "makes" the boss that it is!

 

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have heard rumors of such things, except from the Canadians, but have yet to see it materialize. And I do have a red key, but it doesn't do anything different to the car.

 

The very best Ford Collectable .A Ford gt 40 1966 or a new 2005/2006 Ford Gt 40

 

But probably the most collected is an original GT500.

 

The only thing that makes a car or anything collectable is when some one else wants to buy it . When I had my '67 Mustang I tried selling it for $10,000. with no takers but after Gone in sixty seconds came out I sold it for $45,000.

 

Just incase anyone was curious as to what she looked like

 

Beautiful car, must have been tough to get rid of.

 

Thanks, I really loved that car I drove it daily for 15 yrs I just don't miss the 8mpg it got , but I do miss her

 

Public perception.

 

uniqueness i think is the key more than rarity .. lots of rare old ramblers and nashes out there that aint worth doodley squat ..

 

This and media hype along with rarity. There are still terminators going for $30+. The Boss will resale high as long as the owners keep demanding high $$ for them.
