You gauge the future market by looking at the past and current trends. Even the classic "GP's" do not bring any money what so ever. Cars go up in value due to people's want for them. If you look at the trend in the collector car world it's the cars guys(and gals) wanted when thy were in High School or one they can relive their past in. Seriously, who wanted a GP in high school? Not because of the price, but take price out of the equation and see if it's still desirable. I have a feeling the majority would pass and go for a sports car not a sports sedan.

Lets take for example the 97 GP. It's already 15 years old and the price used for them even in good to excellent condition is still dropping. If a car hasn't bottomed out in price by this time it's hard to believe it will ever go up in value.

Dont get me wrong by my post I love my GP and it's worth more to me than what most are willling to pay. I'll more than likely keep mine unless someone offers me a crazy amout of money or has a trade that would be stupid to pass up. I personally can't wait to get a new daily and retire this one to weekend duty.

just so you know, i hate your ****ing guts. now that that's out of the way, congrats man. u better show this thing some love.

i wasnt saying they would peak in value and be worth a fortune lol but what i meant was like how crazy cars are getting with all this technology bs in years to come someone might want a car they can work on them selves and it have a little power behind the wheel, dont get me wrong the GP will probably never be worth that much money where its worth saving but one with that low miles might catch someones interest in the future.i m just thinking idk cars are just getting so crazy with technology most wont be worth fixing. just thinking im probably wrong but who knows lol...

How fried are the electricals?

$800 is spot on. You may end up having to replace more than you bargained for.

Definitely nothing wrong with pulling a Gp out of the weeds and bringing it back to life. Especially one that's a pace car official or replica.
