    My personal spin on is I don't think any of the modern cars are going to be as valuable as the early stuff , I think the earlier cars like Monaros and Toranas are so valuable is because they have race heritage or Brock DNA, I cant think of any Holden that is worth triple figures that doesn't have one of those qualities in its blood line. The 427 for sure is a rare beast and will be always sort after, I owed a CV8-R Monaro until recently with a view it maybe a collectible being one of only 320 built but the fact is there are way to many Monaros CV8 and CV8Z for sale for them ever to be really valuable. I think the new GTS supercharged and probably the last lot of Holden V8's that roll out could be something to behold. Its all unknown and just how each of us perceive what we think will be a collectable, I personally like the VN SS.

    I think your spot on craig no one is going to want a busted up old commodore unless it had racing heritage
    the Coupe 4 is the only one i think will go up in value forget the rest

    Here is another question who is going to want our sandmans in 20 years time not the youth of today thats for sure

    We said the same thing about FX/FJ in the 60s FE-EK in the 70s, EJ-HG in the 80s & HQ-HZ Kingswoods & Premiers etc. in the 90s.

    They may well not be classics. But a 6 cylinder HK sedan is hardly the car of dreams either however a V8 one still draws attention.
