Apples vs. Oranges comparison - not a good analogy at all...American Muscle Cars have earned their "iconic" status over many years; they are as much a representation of a "time period" to a huge cross-section of people Worldwide - as such, people buy/restore/mod/covet them for their real and/or imagined "ability" to take the owner back in time, to a younger, more carefree and simpler time in life. I think it's safe to say that the VX will NEVER achieve THAT status - it is ONE vehicle from a very small (and largely "forgettable") time of the World - '99-2001. With the exceptions of "The Turn Of The Century" and 9-11 (neither of which most people want to "revisit"), the VX won't be linked with its time in the World. I say again - the ONLY ones that will achieve any particularly "higher" value vis a vis "all the other ones" will be the ones that are low mileage, largely stock/unmodded, and without rust. If YOUR VX is "priceless" to you, believe me - I UNDERSTAND! And when it comes time to sell, you MIGHT find someone else who happens to see the "added value" in YOUR VX - that'll be the exception rather than the rule, though. I've prolly bought and sold 50 "specialty vehicles" of my own in my life (I never own ANYTHING that isn't "special" or unique in SOME way) - the ones that were the easiest, quickest, greatest return-on-the-dollar sales were the low mileage, stock, garage queens. The ones that I heavily modded took the longest to sell, and rarely did I see a return of even a fraction of my modded $ - those mods were strictly "personal enjoyment ROI"...

Nice Torino though - they should have used THAT era Torino (1970-'71) on the Eastwood movie, IMHO...
