here's the deal on what I think will make this car a collectible. It's basically a great car, 2 seaters never sell really well to the masses early on because they're 2 seaters, but as folks approach middle age then the kids are gone and you know the rest. But what keeps me thinking this will be a collectible is look at how young kids, teens look at the car now. I don't know how many of them have said sweet ride and the head turning routine. Now those kids will grow up too, and guess what they'll be thinking of when they see this car show up when they're 45. Yep. I still have nostalgia for that first 65 TBird I saw, and my head turns every time I see one. By the time they're 45, you'll sell that 14K XF you've owned and kept up for about 30-40K. You'll have made some money on it and have driven it for yourself all those years. That's my bet!
