HDT Commodores are pulling high prices compared to plain ones of the same vintage, so it stands to reason that the same path should be taken by HSV's.

I still reckon the money is better spent on anything from the '60's or '70's though......
I agree, best bet is to buy one of these now, forget rolling the dice on something that isn't really even a Holden. Limited build means bugger all, just marketing BS, all of the collectable top shelf stuff from the 60's and 70's were regular production models, although some by today's standards are low build numbers. If you can afford it buy a premium HK-HZ or LC-LX but unfortunately the horse has already bolted with these (81837, XU1, L34 or A9X). You could try the second tier cars like GTS, GTR, SLR5000 etc but people are already speculating on these and prices are far too high. Next is grab any of these with the biggest engine available in the model, so 308/5.0L Kingswood, Premier, LS, Sandman etc or even a 350 powered HQ Statesman in as original as possible condition. Even older stuff like HD-HR in that condition are good. Anythig like these (other than silly prices for some Sandmana) can be had for less than $15k or even $10k in some cases. Jason on this site grabbed Bob Jane's 350 powered HQ Premier wagon, which is a car I seriously considered but don't have the space or the time for it.
