3rd gens are rising in value just like the dime a dozen monte carlo ss's. Why?...b/c most people back then realized the production #'s and just drove them into the ground thinking there would be no value to them. Take for instance the gn's...i would guess approx 75% of them are lower mileaged, garaged kept vehicles as they didn't make a ton of them compared to the regal's so everyone kept them decent. Of the 200k monte carlo ss's built a lot more were used everyday and a lot more were crushed. NOt to say an ss' monte is worth more than a gn but collectibility is the amt of nice, low mileage vehicles avail to a consumer. You can't say an 80's camaro isn't worth anything but a 4th gen camaro will be...thats just stupid as they are pretty much the same type of vehicle. Its like saying a 327/powerglide camaro from '69 isn't worth anything b/c its not an original dz302/m22 higher hp car. Will they every attain the older muscle car values, NO!...but there will be a market for collectible 80's AND 90s and beyond vehicles if the condition, mileage, and options are there to warrant it. Answer to your question is yes, there will be value on certain 4th gens....low mileage ss's and ws6's (moderate value) to higher end values on lt-4 ss anniversary's, collector/anniversary edition birds, nickey camaro's, intimidators, etc. Low production #'s too help.
You have to remember the collectible people to yours and my car are the people who want to relive their youth in 20 years or the folks not even born yet that want a nostaglic vehicle down the line.
