To see "Turd" Gen models coming up in value is interesting. My Formula was never bought to be an investment or a collectable, but time and rarity has made it so. There were only 1,197 made with the L98 350 option, so it started out with low production. Add to that, all the SLP mods I installed are no longer produced. When you factor in that it is 25 years old and in original condition, its nice to see the value coming up, when most of these have been beaten to death or wound up wrapped around a tree or a phone pole.

I also can appreciate the fact with so many muscle cars bringing prices going to the moon, that really nice 2nd and 3rd Gen models can still be purchased without laying out the cost of a new home

. Also to, you can mod these cars without worrying about crayon marks on the rear end or incorrect chrome pieces that could take away from the value. It is still really nice to take them for a cruise or a car show and have people tell you they can remember having one, but long ago gave it up for an SUV
