I disagree, I think that what is 'collectible' is a function of what cars people loved, and got excited about when they were young. In the 90's that was largely Japanese cars. When Generation X and & are in their 50's and 60's they're going to be looking back with rose-tinted glasses at RX-7s and ITR's.
I mean think about it. Japan wasn't making anything cool when all of those cars that are Barrett Jackson today were being made. Other than the Toyota 2000GT (which is insanely expensive now) and cars like the S800 or 510, the Japanese didn't really make anything to stir the loins until the 80's and 90's. Just looking at how insane people are about ITR's, RX-7's, and uhh...Supras, I know there'll be old guys in 30 years willing to pay big bucks for them.
