Respectfully disagree. 69 Z/28's would undermine the theory. Of the 20,000 plus produced, 40,000 plus survived and people cannot pay enough for them.

I used the word rare as a catch-all but mainly to reference low production numbers.

A '93 Cobra is low production, 4993.

Napa good point and humor about the '69 Z/28, one of the most popular muscle cars.

I guess we could say some cars are rare and desirable. I'm sure folks on here could give example of rare but not desired cars.

People used to say that about 1932 Ford Roadsters too.

Some cars just hook us, there is something about the styling that we just love.

A 54 vs a 55-57 Belair.

I'm a gen X'er (57). When I was younger I got into 2nd gen Firebirds when they were dirt cheap. I used to never pay more than $800 for a decent one and drove it home. Look at prices now and they are still gaining value. In some cases '77/'78 black and gold cars bring more than 70-72 Trans Ams and 73/74 SD cars.

I think 2nd gen Firebirds will hold strong as they have been in the several movies and will be kept front and center because of that..
