I am not talking about price... I don't expect the value to be high.
However, price is usually determined by supply and demand. The Crossfire does have some of the key elements. A sports car 2 seater, Lower than usual production numbers, short production time, a flop in sales and a sudden drop in value. I think most collectibles from the past are cars that the manufacturer couldn't give away. The crossfire was also considered under powered by some which is another similarity.
Some of the most expensive collectibles today seem to mirror the crossfire back in their day. Cars that came and went and were hardly seen on the streets. Cars that you see on the road and never knew were made. Mostly because the manufacturer did a terrible job advertising them. Sports cars that took a risk to be a little different and failed.... but nobody really knew the exact reason why they would fail. The car should have been a success and only the people who owned them can understand them and appreciate the car. But the people that didn't own them couldn't understand it until 20 years later after they did a little research. Now they are willing to pay a premium price for one and become part of the group of owners because there are so few around.
I see potential in high values but I don't expect it. It is difficult to predict.
