Saw one in the weekend. Reckon it'd be worth a bit more than that. Love it how they're advertising a "heater demister" as like it's more than standard

I can see there was a Honda Civic worth $400 more than the Torana, bit different to todays collector’s market.

I actually sat my driving licence test in a Civic like the one for sale in 1981 and bought my first car a 76 Corolla panel van for $2600

Think this is the cheapest 57 I've seen for a while.

Its been asked before... but things have changed in the $ world

Is the value of these cars going to drop due to lowering demand?

Example kiddies when they get older wont be excited by an A9X/GTHO as they would a Shitty Yaris\Gold\Fiesta etc GT in 40yrs time, not that any of them will still be running

You're right on the money, just like I didn't want a model A
The next generation are already buying what they want - Rice rockets  :laugh:

I think good example rare cars will always hold their value but we have seen some very inflated values on 60's & 70's cars up to this point.
You don't want to get stuck with a "Tribute" car (or faker as we used to call them)
A9X's & GTHO's will always be worth good money but maybe not the silly money they are asking at the moment (They are much rarer than anything out of the US)
