On a quest for a quest. Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Does anyone have any production numbers on these things? I was just wondering how rare our cars are... and why doesn't the market seem to be stronger than what it is? How many 89 shps are left?? what would be the rarest of them all? http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/vegetathunder/0712081401a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you break it down by color and model. Technically speaking, the rarest isn't by year per say, but by color, which I believe is Seychelles Red, Baltic Blue, and R64? colored cars. Colors so rare the color wasn't an option to select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats for starions correct? Does anyone have a number on the conquests?? I agree that color would make the rarity... be nice to see one of every color!

MikeMeyerhoff Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 1984 Starion LS in K16 Mezzon Gold. Color and being a base model make it rare. http://home.mchsi.com/~m.meyerhoff/After-Claybar-81607.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberquest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 rarest one would be in my opinion. OBVIOUSLY http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/gull-1-1.jpg or the 1983 STARION GX (yes they made a GX) it was a stripped down (jap only) 83 with CRANK WINDOWS and NON_TURBO!!

shift1313 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 there is a member on here that has a prototype widebody with rear wheel steering. only one still in existence i believe.

On a quest for a quest. Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 If our cars are so rare why I tend to think they would have a stronger market... perhaps people just don't have the knowledge of what they are.. or have ever even seen one! Liking that Figi Shp!! Is the maroon a very rare color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplee Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 If our cars are so rare why I tend to think they would have a stronger market... you're confusing "rare" with "sought after". Being rare does not mean being highly desired or being in high demand. The demand for late 80s import muscle isn't exactly strong on any front. I'd say we're holding our own.

The demand for late 80s import muscle isn't exactly strong on any front. I'd say we're holding our own. first it was the 60s, now 70s...and once all the 70s cars are to where no one can afford them, the 80s cars will start. Especially ours being they're rear wheel drive...which is pretty rare in the 80s car world Edited August 16, 2008 by strang3majik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 prices in the collector car books are going up for our cars. my 84 is antique in 09. nada value is kinda low but if you look in the hemmings classic car guide it was up in the 7-8k for excellent condition.
