[QUOTE="Goose17, post: 16226729, member: 137255"] I have been watching prices on Terminators with a focus on Mystichrome cars for the last handful of years. These cars have a cult-like following and are still coveted all these years later. I have seen the price low point and have witnessed a steady climb since. The modded cars get everyone excited and fuels the passion for these cars, but the low-mile pristine virgin examples command the top $. These cars have a few big pluses from a collector standpoint... 1. They were a complete shock when they hit the streets. Cool then/cool now! 2. They were only made for 2 years... the cars before them and after them were completely different. 3. There were specialty models available (a smaller sub-set within a small group to begin with). These specialty models being the 10th Anniversay cars and the Mystichrome examples, both of which are more than just a color. Another thing I’ll point out from a collector viewpoint is the coupe vs. vert debate... many prefer coupes. I attribute this to the “boy racer” era of a car. Much like the 60s/70s muscle cars, coupes were desired for the latest performance machines. People wanted a fast car with the safety and rigidity of a roof over their heads. As the cars aged and were surpassed by much better performing and modern cars, it was the verts that rose to the top of desirability. The cars were no longer a boulevard bruiser. They transformed into a Sunday cruiser. I am convinced history will repeat itself and the verts will command the top dollar in the not too distant future. [/QUOTE]
