you could be right,but i don't see a pre EFI Mustang GT being very collectable.
maybe the 5.0 Capri,those are pretty rare.
the Fox bodies that will be collectible to me are the specialty cars,like the R,SVO turbo,Saleen,Car Tech,McLaren,etc.
i rode in a Car Tech turbo Fox body years ago,that's a very dangerous car.
as far as F bodies,i think they will do better than Mustangs,just because they were faster. </div></div>
Well, I agree to a point. Overall, I think the aerolight cars will bring more money than the four eyes, but there are some pre-87 cars that'll pull decent money. The cars you listed are already collectible, and will increase in price as time goes on, but the Fox collector market isn't going to be structured the same way as the 60's market. Low mile originals will always pull decent coin, but I see well done modified cars bringing better money than a stock restored car (and there are a few of them out there).
And faster is pretty subjective. Tony Defeo got a bone stock 87 LX hatch with no miles and a tight engine through the quarter in 14 flat in Cars Illustrated. A pulled intake silencer,timing bump, and slicks got it down to a 13.40. Evan Smith over at MM&FF got his 89 LX down to a 13.55 with just the infamous "ten minute tune-up". The fastest 3rd gen test I've seen is a 14.41 from a 350 TPI IROC in MCR (I think).
