Only time will tell if it appreciates 10 years from now it might be worth more than a Coupe, Who knows.
(Now appreciating on a car might only be a few thousand $, perhaps what you paid a year ago might be what its worth 7 years from now if the miles are kept low and its in great shape, but cars are not a good investment - just a whole lot of fun).

I love mine. And I was a little disappointed that the new Z06 didn't have a similar roof style.

If you keep just about any car long enough it will be a classic, but we have a long long way to go!

frc vettes will probably hold their value because of the low production, just my 2cents. Had a chance to buy a 2000 white with 40000 on the clock,didn't jump on it fast enough. so when this 99 frc was for sale with HUD , cd changer and all the bells and whistles with 33000 miles I jumped on it, its a rattle free great riding and handling even with the firestone run flats Denny

i'm pretty sure it'll be worth money myself but like everyone says not anytime soon,but 2900 cars is not a big number so that is collectable.

I would never buy a C5 for investment value, but I think a stock FRC would be worth more than a stock coupe, 50 years from now.

This is my 2nd FRC. 99 Torch Red. Had a black 01 Z06 before this one. I prefer FRC's over the coupes, but that is my personal opinion....
