I would guess the Sledgehammer and Callaway Super Speedsters?
Normal guy cars would be The Grand Sports, then ZR-1's, then Collector Editions?
Poor mans would be the 88 All White Anniversary cars and the 93 40th Ruby cars?

All white C4s are very collectibles.

There are quite a few to guess if they will be collectable.
84 only c4 with crossfire injection
86 Malcolm konner edition
86 pace car
88 all white
91 vette, new body style with TPI
any zr1
96 GS
more than likely none will be worth much. The C4 was so well made, they will be around forever.

Sledgehammer was 1 of 1
SuperSpeedsters were 2 Callaway Twin Turbo LT5 Corvettes
Speedsters were 10 I believe
Despite and an initial planned production of 50 examples, only 12 Speedsters were manufactured. The last two were built from the ZR1 and called Super Speedsters with 750 bhp.
Pretty sure these are the most collectable of all the C4's.

Any Corvette Challenge car
1988 KOH ZR-1 Prototype EX5023 (EX tag) car 1 of 2 in existence with the experimental Phase II LT5 engine.
Falconer V12
(I may be a little bias

I think the cars that will be worth something are the GS, the later ZR-1s, and maybe the Challenge Cars.
The Callaways are too rare for many people to know or care about. The Anniversary models are just color/sticker packages.
IMO the GS cars and maybe some of the ZR-1s will be the cars that are "collectible" bringing decent money in the future. The Challenge cars might bring decent money from race car collectors. The rest will be seen as collectible by those who own them.

GS, ZR1, Callaway, LT4. Not many others. Though all will eventually start up ticking in value, it is an iron rule of economics.

I was going by most collectable as it pertains to cost, thus the SledgeHammer and Speedsters > Anything else... Except maybe the 1983 car... no idea what that thing would go for.
Does that sound about right if we are talking the biggest $$$ for a C4?

In general (not special construction by the aftermarket), I would say the Grand Sport convertibles are likely to bring the most money.
If I ever buy another C4, it would quite likely be a 96 LT4 convertible.
