Muscle cars also came from the factory with HUGE displacement engines. Not a 2.4 litre truck engine. Muscle cars were sold to the most grizzly rednecks you can imagine. The 240SX was sold to moms going through a mid-life crisis that needed a cute coupe.

I never plan on selling mine but if I did I wouldn't be expecting more than $5K for it, even modified.
No one is comparing a stock 240 to a muscle car performance wise. We're talking about the fact that there are rare models out there and some of us will be willing to pony up some big cash for'em when we're 50. I for one would be willing to pay a hefty amount for a bone stock minty Lavender Frost Metallic 240 in a heart beat.
