I believe the only thing that will be popular in the future for 240SX, is stock, cherry, unmolested vehicles. The influx of motor swaps and a lot of heavy mods being made (ie holes int he body) will hurt their value and what a collector would want is the stock version in the rare colors.

I don't think the SR will help the value of a USDM vehicle let alone other swaps.

Just like other collector car markets, buyers want stock or something with a respected racing lineage. 240s with the SR swap will be deemed 'retro-mods' or the likes.

All IMHO of course. I say all that because our cars are no different than other cars and there are known frameworks for this sort of discussion.
