An excellent example of a 2 seater AMX brings over $50K at Barrett Jackson. (at Saturdays AZ auction), and $150k (or more) for a primo Bird is not uncommon at BJ's.
Yes they do and thank you for giving me two perfect examples of WOW cars that had the " got to have factor." The Superbird was KILLING the NASCAR tracks---King Richard drove one, and the AMX won awards and Craig Breedlove's "Spirit of America" team set records. So, I do remember them and so do others---that is why they collectible. Yes, the sales were low, but the "got to have factor was there---and still is."
I love my Crossfire, but it never generated the WOW factor. It never raced a NASCAR track like the Superbird or Bonneville like the AMX that set 106 world speed and endurance records !!!! Give me a car that sets 106 world speed and endurance records, and I will show you a collectible.
