A key differences is the A80 overall was built in low numbers.PS: Nobody in their right mind saw the MKIV Supra as a future classic when they bought theirs more than 20 years ago. And look at it now
... Not to mention it (as well as the R34 Skyline, Z32, FD RX7, NSX, etc.) have become iconic representations of "the golden age of Japanese sports cars" - at least when viewed from an American perspective.A key differences is the A80 overall was built in low numbers.
Yeah. If I don't put it into the wall or blow a hole in the block, I'll drive this thing into the dirt too. Once less from me as well....

I have no idea how many MKV posters might be hung on some 13yr old's bedroom currently, so I can't guess what the future 30 years from now looks like. Although based on the number that nearly wreck their bicycles every time I drive down my street - it might be a significant number.
The only thing I can say conclusively is that mine will have no resale value at all. By the time it turns 5 I'll have ~85K miles on it at the present rate. I didn't buy it for resale but rather to drive it into the dirt... so that's one less unit competing for those collector dollars in 2050. ?
this is sort of the point. the heart of the car is in every other car and washer/dryer/refrigerator at this point. same with the transmission.No. Too many b58 variants out there.
maybe a launch will be worth something in 20 years. But who wants to just park theirs in a garage and never drive it
I’d rather enjoy it and then watch BAT for a trends in 15-20 years then since we are fans and knowledgeable buy one before the “word” gets out that prices are going up
Certainly the 2JZ is a significant portion of MKIV demand (a commanding majority even), but there will always be a moderate amount of demand simply for the chassis - in which case the "heart" is of far less concern.this is sort of the point. the heart of the car is in every other car and washer/dryer/refrigerator at this point. same with the transmission.
I hear you. Frankly, I wouldn't turn down a properly modified EV Supra either. Making old cars reliable and fun again (in a consciously different manner) is awesome. Not everyone wants a spaceship...the old designs were fun!Certainly the 2JZ is a significant portion of MKIV demand (a commanding majority even), but there will always be a moderate amount of demand simply for the chassis - in which case the "heart" is of far less concern.
I think specifically of the trend of resto-mods often commanding values comparable (though admittedly slightly less on average) to proper VIN-matched stock restorations of classic cars. On that side it's anyone's guess, but the more available the stock drivetrain is the better, in either case actually.
There were a ton of other Toyota and Lexus vehicles that had the JZ mind you.No. Too many b58 variants out there.
