Hi all,
Got a question, which i know the answer can be oppinionated, but taking the mk4 supra as an example, i never thought it would be sought out as a "collectible" with prices reaching 100k for low mile stock turbo no targa 6psd models. Is there any reason why one shouldnt expect the st205 wrc to be sought out more in a few years with stock models having a higher premium than modified models. I ask to know if i should consider leaving my potential wrc as stock as possible. Or is this just one of those cool cars that will never be considered collectible and moding the car wont "ruin" the price. I searched for collect but didnt see anything related |

No way to tell without a crystal ball. Got one?
Supra had a big boost from the Fast&Furious franchise. Also, it was a halo sports car for Toyota, a pinnacle of tuning potential not seen before or since (the jury is still out on the Zupra). Sure, there was the 2000GT and the LFA, but those are low volume cars in a different class altogether. As for the ST205, it does not have the pop-culture element and its rally history is marred with a scandal. In some ways the scandal might help, but probably not as much as rally success without one would have. Look at things like Corvair for example - the scandal is maybe the primary source of interest in the car, but it's only enough to sustain mild appreciation compared to other cars of the era. There's also no continuation for the Celica. The ST205 was the end of the line for rallying - 7G Celica hardly had any motorsports participation, and Toyota switched to Corolla and now the Yaris for rallying. While the Zupra is back, and there's a slimmer of hope the MR2 will see the light of day again, chances of a new Celica are slim to none. Will the ST205 have some value? I'm sure it will, but I don't see it appreciating anywhere close to the pace of the MkIV Supra. This post has been edited by slavie: Jan 24, 2021 - 4:26 PM |
