I am unsure if our birds will rise in value, they are semi-collectors as it is. What do you guys think?

I would hope book value on mine couldn't drop any more. It's pretty bad!

I believe the values will go up eventually but the 'down cycle' in prices will be evident for at least another 10 years. After that, the nice lower mileage well maintained examples of all LS1 F-bodies will start the climb back up in price. As more time passes after that then the prices tend to appreciate even more. Now the unknown factor: Will there be gasoline available for these LS1 cars or will the socialist tree huggers rule the country with nothing but hybrids on the road?? Will these same people impose all types of punitive taxes to own these horrible polluters?? This is the way they think and how personal freedoms are lost. No one has that answer. I'm glad I can enjoy my cars now.

Don't hold your breath. I doubt you will see any increase in value for many years. At best, the only ones that may increase in value will be the very low mileage unmodded cars, but that will remain to be seen for some time.

Don't count on anything made by Pontiac within the last 20 years (except of course the 20th Ann. T/A) to rise in value anytime soon

It will be the same as when Olds went under

The only thing that will skyrocket is the price of available body parts
