Those are the people who are driving the muscle car market now, and it's the same type of people who will drive the collector market in the future.

I said in my very first post in this thread that anything is collectible, so you aren't telling me anything I don't already know. If you're referring to me talking about automotive significance you're taking it out of context. I said that about the 240 being a "classic". Classic is not really the word I'm thinking of but I can't think of a better word. What I mean is the car being collectible, but at that next level.
IE One of my favorite classic muscle cars is the Boss 302. There's a lot of reasons it's so damn expensive and nostalgia is only one of them.
Interesting bit of info: there were more Boss 302's made than Kouki s14 240sx's.
