A saw a karmann Gia today on the road in pretty good shape. Made me start to wonder if our cars may follow in the footsteps like so many other cars throughout history. There are some people out there that would love to restore and drive some of these old cars... Just wondering how history would look at the crossfire. If people would actually go out of their way to purchase a crossfire or spend the money to bring one back to life.
i think the srt-6 is already becoming a cult car. of course, which i hope morphs into a collectable. however, i don't think there will develop an after-market and parts availability scenario. my opinion is that mint original srt-6's will be desirable 10-20 years from now. so, i drive one and put the other in a wrapper. i've owned over 50 cars in my life, from the mundane to special interest to collectable and the srt-6 is my favorite. it's a niche car, like an alfa romeo montreal on steroids.
but with teutonic engineering and quality.
