The new GT-40 is supposed to cost aroun $100,000-125,000 when it goes on sale, and I’m sure there will be plenty of fools ready to part with the money.

i drive one, so of course its gonna be a classic looks around aimlessly my baby’s 18 years old n perfecto condition, she better last till 20, hasnt broken down yet!
Aside from the above mentioned Shogun, I think that no list will be complete without the Mitsubishi 3000GT or the Nissan 300ZX.
Cars I’m not sure of are the Ford Probe and the Mazda MX-6. The V-6 versions have sport tendencies but they mass produced a bunch of them.
Well, in order for a car to become a true classic, there’s gotta be some degree of mass production.
Wait, let me rephrase that. There’s exotic classics (your Ferrari 250 GTO, your Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, your Bugati Royale), and then there’s the sort of classics you and I could possibly afford (your MGB’s, your Citroen DS’s (look that one up, if necessary ;)), your Triumph Spitfire, your Peugeot 404, et cetera). Availability of spare parts is vital to keep things affordable.
So, a Nissan 300 ZX will do fine as a (semi?) classic (it’ll never be a 240Z!), and the new GT40 will be destined to become an exotic.
I would just like to say that I hope the future of classic cars does not include the Pinto, which I just saw down here in Biloxi with Classic plates. :eek:
