The question remains.........how collectable, how valuble????

What are/were some other collector car, speculation failures??????or surprises??????

The 10th anni T/A's were about the only spec play future collector cars from that era-low production,last year of the big block. I have seen a few of those with less miles and in better condition go for around 50k in better times.

Not trying to pick pepper out of fly sheet but better condition means less patina and still has all the plant shipping cardboard and interior wrap. If I had to guess it hasn't been in a climate controlled enviroment it's whole life. Still it's a nicely optioned car,in the right color. Would be surprised to see it get much north of 35-40k and it prolly won't hit reserve at that. GM built 45 thousand of these and only 1100 or so W72 10th T/A's-neither were heralded for giving neck strains in the 1/4 mile.

As far as spec busts IMO the 90-91 ZR1's qualify. I remember people getting 50k for a place in line + the cost of the car to be the first kid on the block with one,so that was a 100k and now they are half that for one like this 80Z nearly twenty years later.
