I'm with kpaske on this one - no matter how unique the VX is, it's still just a low-gas-mileage older SUV in the eyes of the market, which is a tough sell in this day and age. Yes, an astute collector may look at it and see one of the few concept cars that came to life, but how many of those are there out there? Four?

Car collecting is a lousy "investment" - a classic collectable car sells for 20 times what it cost in 1962 sounds like it would have been a great investment, but the same amount of money dumped into a good mutual fund for that long would probably have appreciated far more when you account for all the maintenance, registration, and restoration costs.

I think the biggest hurdle for the VX is its anonymity - so few people know about it that a strong market will never develop for it. Even people who know cars don't know about the VX. Another example of this happened over the weekend - the guy who tied our x-mas tree to the roof rack was asking about it and was shocked that he didn't know about it. If more people knew about it, more people would want one, driving the value up.
