Fiat Coupe turbo  ;) 

Actually, what am I saying?  It's already a classic! ;D


Please dont shoot me, the ........Falcon XR6 Turbo.

It'll be a great cheap 'mod project car', with 400hp plus plus easy, and ~good handling for the price point.

I think the last of the FPV F6's will be a future classic.  With Ford ending production of an Aussie Falcon, this will be the GTHO of the future

Suprised no one has mentioned the Corrado.

I also think the C36 AMG Merc - was the very first factory AMG, and only about 5000 worldwide.

Bang!  :o

Classics mean more than value performance Noel.

Sorry, still think its a very desireable car for the performance enthusiast in a few years.

I tend to agree with Beeker on the XR6T - it's a modern VL Commodore Turbo which has a massive following in Aus and NZ. I thought of the VL-T for my list but I think the values have already increased substantially past their bottom dollar.

Your comment goes a long way to making your point actually Noel.

Now you're talking - the R32 is already desirable ++ and well on way to classic status if not already.

Nothing wrong with being a westee - here in Hams I'm on the west side too! ;)

LOL - we actually cross posted on that one Noel and I was referring to your earlier post and not about your comment about being a "westee"

Good call on the Falcon Turbo; got me thinking the GTO Monaro Coupe (and other variants) must be a potential classic/s with the limited run.

I also think JDM EF and EG Civic SIRs will be a future classics - though again they may already been on the price rise. Or what about a NZ new EG Civic GTI with leather - pretty interesting variation on the theme.
