I'm really not sure what their intentions were with the "collectible" term. If they are referring to limited production vehicles, I would guess they mean less than 500 made and probably even lower but they don't give a specific number. Take something like the Buick GNX which was a performance engine option that had to meet specific emission's tests before even being produced. The 89 Turbo T/A, the 2002 ZL1, the 95 Mustang Cobra R. But looking at these examples, the GNX and turbo T/A meet emission's as required so they don't need the collectible label to pass inspection. The ZL1 and the 95 Cobra R most likely don't meet the requirements to pass emission's inspection and they were really built to be race cars. So this "collectible" term seems to refer to a way to get a car like that legally on the road. A plain 95 Z28 is not a limited production vehicle and won't have an increased value over similar models. Modifying the vehicle does not make it collectible but rather turns it into a "street rod" or "race" vehicle. A newer Firehawk, SS or WS6 is not a limited production vehicle either, it's a regular production option. Some of the custom "dealer" built cars are probably the "collectible" vehicles they are trying to help get a legal registration.
