240sx are not collector's cars, people.
BTW, you have a scuff on the passenger side bumper, and the bumper/headlights don't seem to line up very well.

Collectibles are often collectible before anybody realizes it. Thats what makes them suddenly valuable. When you realize you have the last unopened can of coke or the last stuffed teddy bear on the planet the value does what?

One day when all the 240s are swapped or wrecked, as you cant just go to a dealer and buy a fresh one that day will come; cars like this will be ________________.

choose one:
(rare, behind glass, collectible, expensive, sought, hidden from view)


Many Kouki front ends look like that when they are untouched. Check out the kouki thread on this forum; Here are some I found in just a few pages







Notice they all have the same gap as mine. Its a factory thing. It means the car has not been modified. the bumper has not been removed.
I would be suspicious if I did not see that gap when buying an "untouched" kouki.

I agree with the first part, but until they become collectibles, you can't charge "collectible price."

I'm not going to go out and pay $100 for a can of coke hoping that it could be the last can of coke on the planet...

Ah, but this is the decade that everybody realizes internal combustion engines are going out of style and gas prices dramatically change the way we get around. We are entering a time where certain vehicles become scrap and others become monuments regardless of age due to the availability of more efficient transportation.

All of the cans of coke will become scrap because they still make coke, and even if they stop, there are so many cans in circulation it wont make a difference. A 240sx is a rare thing already, very few produced. And drifting, engine swaps, modifications, are ruining much of what was produced. The supply of unmodified 240s is dwindling, regardless of mileage. I see them as being quite collectible, given the number produced compared to the number left unmodified.
If I wanted to do an engine swap in five years from now, I would NOT want to wait to buy the 240 when it comes time to do the swap because in five years you wont see hardly a single unmodified kouki, unlike today where you can actually find one or two. NOW is the time to grab them up; and grab a low mileage kouki so you can actually drive it for five or ten years in the mean time.

Certain things that are no longer produced, will become monuments.
