[QUOTE="FL.-Frank, post: 16358607, member: 194668"] Here’s my take (I’m probably somewhat biased as I own an original, documented, pristine ‘04 Terminator Vert with just under 1,400 miles on the odo).... Let’s consider the top tier muscle cars that came out of Detroit in the late 60’s...Boss 429, Shelby Mustang, COPO Camaro, LS6 Chevelle, Ram Air GTO, 442 W30, Hemi Mopar, etc. They all sold in $5 -$6k range when new. Unfortunately, Many if not most of these were used, abused, modded, raced, crashed, rusted, parted, and/or junked by the time they were 15 years old. In the mid to late 70’s there was little demand for these cars and prices were relatively cheap. However, by the mid to late 80’s, demand started to increase pushing the market up. Here we are 50 years later and although there have been a couple of “market corrections” over the years, the market for original, low mileage, documented examples of these late ‘60’s top tier muscle cars is still very strong. Just like the late 60’s top tier muscle cars, 03/04 Terminators were produced in fairly low numbers and came from the factory with amazing (for the time) power and performance, and were sold new in the $35k-$40k range. 16-17 years later, and pristine examples are now selling for near $40k. IMO, as demand for original, low mileage, documented Terminators is already on the rise, the market will continue to strengthen, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see pristine examples commanding $50k within the next 2-3 years, and $75k -$100k 5-10 years from now....provided we don’t experience any drastic/permanent changes in the availability/cost of gasoline.
