7Up or "Down" when it comes to collectors?

7up owners think they are sitting on a gold mine. Its not a numbered car so realistically there is no extra value added.

Find out if there is a registry. I would bet many dont know what it is too. How many left that havent been beaten up or tops changed to black and wheels swapped out? There are a couple guys here who have real clean ones.
From MM&FF: "One special model, however, was made during this period--the '90 Limited Edition LX convertible. It came in Emerald Green with a white top and white leather interior with Sport seats. The Emerald Green paint extended to the body-side moldings and dual remote outside mirrors. They're known as the 7-Up cars. The 7-Up Bottling Company planned to give away 30 of them at the '90 NCAA basketball finals; it never did, but the name stuck. A total of 4,103 cars were built--1,360 five-speeds and 2,743 automatics.
The 1990 color production chart shows 4,106 Emerald Green convertibles were made, making it the most popular color by far. Medium Red, Medium Titanium, and Titanium Frost were all produced in single digits. Which model is more desirable? The Emerald Green cars, of course."
The green is the least rare color, the 87-90 GT wheels are ugly, and I'm not a big fan of white leather and body colored body-side moldings. Other than that I like them.

To me, they're nothing special whatsoever.

I'll report back on what happens when I test drive it. (Good thing it wasn't a Vernor's car, can you imagine all those little white circles bubbling up the sides?)
Not really tough, the cars have a neat story behind them but thats all they have. if they are wanting big $ for the car because of its history then no way but if its reasonable the go for it.
If you looking for an investment fox then look for early Saleens and 93 cobras, if your looking for something to drive on the weekends then buy this vert and enjoy it.

I actually see plenty of people who tell me "wow, these cars are gaining value...you could prob sell yours for 10,000!!!"
Riiiiiight. But its nice that people think I'm driving an expensive car. Keeps them from rear ending me at stop lights. I'd really hate to punch a soccer mom on the cell phone out for that
. J/k....maybe

id rather that people thought that the car wasnt worth much so that they will leave it alone when i park it somewhere!
but i feel ya on getting rear ended at a stop light, that would be the death of my vert.
