1983 Corvette model year
Remember the 1983 Corvette? Very rare, such limited numbers, very collectible, in fact the most collectible Corvette there is.
So if the 2020MY will end sooner than expected, won’t such a limited number of cars be very valuable in say 40 to 50 years from now?

Everyone who watches BJ auctions thinks their car will be worth money someday. It will never be worth more than the day you buy it. Gone are the days of 427/435 Tri power options. Just because your ordered a nifty little plaque, its not a protecto plate and will not increase the value.

‘yeah, those ‘83’s are a hot collector. Half one exists at the Corvette museum store room. It’s probably with HALF a million dollars.
