Hi All, just wanted to solicit a few opinions on what I perceive as a recent trend that has been developing due to the rise of market value of the 1st series Z. I have been noticing that there has been a wider acceptance of the 240Z by both the media and high end collector/investor as a bonafide collector vehicle.
I believe that we will see serious sophisticated buyers in larger numbers insert themselves into the Z community, thus driving both recognition and price of the 240Z to a much higher plane. Many of us who watch and participate in the collector market have seen this happen very quickly with other vehicles. Early Datsun sedans/trucks, Porsche 911's 912's, and recently 914's,928's, 944's, Alfa Romeo's, early Volvo, Saab, Jag etc. have all seen prices jump as collectors move to create new markets.
History of a vehicle plays a huge role and the 240Z set the standard and turned the sports car community on it's ear. We will see more and more new entrants into the forums which will ultimately improve the overall brand recognition and value of the our cars. It's going to be a fun ride for us all.
