The buyer market and demand determines what's a "collector classic" and what isn't...not manufacturer name. Seems we gotta start pretty basic here.

No I determine what is a classic to me. That is as basic as it gets.

There is nothing "classic" about a Z32, lol.
We made one into a Chumpcar.

from the article:
for all the visual impact that a car like this is able to generate while parked up, nothing can quite prepare you for actually seeing it move under its own power – sparks flying and with plenty of rubbing and scraping sounds.

See a bunch in the Houston area, mostly on the side of the road waiting for a tow.

The '90 Turbo at least was definitely a classic of its era and revolutionized Japanese sports cars for the decade. The Le Mans racer driven by the likes of Paul Newman was a monster.

The turd in the OP however, is a different kind of monster.
