Roush Barret Jackson Auction got me thinking

[sy1172]

In 2030, will a 2004 (or similar year) Saleen SC car be worth what the 60s Shelby's are going for today?

What is the future long term value of these cars?

Thanks,

The cars that will bring the money down the road will be Early 84-85 cars, SA-5, SA-10, SA-15, SSC,SC,and SR and nice low mile S-351 cars. I doubt the 99+ cars will bring much since so many cars were produced...

I may have left a few out, but those particular cars stand out to me.

I may be wrong but from what i have read the Cobra Saleen is more rare then the S351

It is more rare but, it isn't hand built like the S-351 and the power output is less. If you look at Shelby prices the ones actually built at Shelby American are the more valuable ones. The S-281 cars will still be worth considerably more than a GT or regular Cobra. In the future the value will start to go up.

I believe the early saleens will do will be the ticket in years to come. As long as the production numbers are low say under a 1000 units. for example look at what the Hemi Cudas sell for 150k+ and there were like 700 +/- units and the Boss 429 cars 859 units in 69 and 1359 in 70 and they sell for 150k+. My 89 is 1 of 7 black converts with a total run of 734 for '89. I always wonder of the 734 how many are left? So we'll see what happens in another 30 yrs.
