very interesting data thanks for sharing. talk about a non-concensous, those guys do not agree on much. but nice to finally see TD's on some of the lists.

[Clay]

HA! I made the list!!!!!!

[Turbodave]

WooHoo, me too.

[GLHS069]

The one guy from England said "1990 Dodge Viper"
I believe they weren't available until 92, right?

[j4278h]

thats right

1992 viper-250 made
1992 iroc r/t -250 made

[Holley]

HA! I made the list!!!!!!

Yeah, not a biased selection at all

I can see the PTs being considered classics, and the high-end TDs, but wheres the guessing in saying 'Ferrari Enzo'? like duh ... and as for the '80s being the low point, what a load of crap - wheres the Zakspeed Capri, RS 1600i, Peugeot 205 T16, Lotus Sunbeam, Renault 5 Turbo, VW Golf GTi and BMW M3? (and all the other great European budget performance cars of the '80s).

Humph ... time to go feed the cats ...

[86Shelby]

Gee, I can't quite tell who the TD enthusiasts on that list are....

[Mike_Shepard]

Yea I made it

[supercrackerbox]

I'd have to agree most with Dave's list.

[Directconnection]

Alot of cars that shouldn't be there on the lists, and others that never made it.

'87 GNX is the obvious #1
'89 T/A 20th Anniverssary is in the top count, too.
Syclone
Typhoon
ZR-1
Fieros (w/the v-6)
SHO's
2003 Cobra Mustangs
WS6 Trans Ams possibly
'86 GLHS
'89 CSX
IROC R/Ts
Spirit R/Ts
(my biased opinion)
WRX/STis
EVOs
SRT-4s
S2000
Eclipse GSX and their 4-door awd turbo 2.0 counterparts... VR4?
C6 Z06


Then there's the cars coming out now which are becoming too much. Shelby GT500 will be a mean car.

[GLHSKEN]

AHEMMM what about the '87 GLHS Steve.. You know the sporty "S"... LOL

# 10 1990 Chrysler Lebaron GTC convertable VNT

Yeah baby that's mine right there

I noticed a few inaccuracies in there. It'd be more interesting to see a full consolidated list.

[Directconnection]

AHEMMM what about the '87 GLHS Steve.. You know the sporty "S"... LOL

Haha..can't list them all ya know I didn't even include my '90 competition package VNT Shadow.

There are alot of rare turbo dodge/mopars, but I am sure that could be said for GM cavaliers. Forgot the SVO Mustangs and the Merkur's XR4Ti's.

[Blue Iroc R/T]

The 93 Iroc R/T's must have been #11 on everybody's list! That's ok, I think I'll keep my blue Iroc R/T and show everyone that you can come from behind and win.

[Directconnection]

Yeah...if they are going to consider an IROC R/T... it should be the '93 over the '92. Same for the Spirit R/T.


What are the credentials for the pople that posted those cars. Look like it's just anybody's opinion... which then doesn't matter to me.

[fleckster]

I think almost all of my turbo cars were listed in there somewhere!

'92 Spirit R/T
'87 Shelby Lancer
'03 SRT-4
'93 Daytona IROC R/T (admittedly a parts car)

I'm even holding out hope that someday my 43,000 mile original owner (hell it still has the original windshield wipers!) '98 Neon R/T coupe might be somewhat on a future collectorable list.

It is just anybody's opinion. McLellan, which sells a lot of collectible auto literature, does that survey every year.

[TopDollar69]

I think Im right with the J body convertables. They were super popular when they came out, and Chrysler sold a large amount of them. That leads me to believe that they will be popular in the future, plus its a blast to drop top down and go for a cruise.

[CSX321]

I agree with you. I've always thought the J-body convertibles were great-looking cars. If they don't become classics, they ought to.
