Thumbs up Recent article on the rise of 3rd Gens WORTH!

Here is a quote from a recent AutoWeek article.

"Enthusiast daily drivers are showing signs of life. Third-Gen F-bodies and aero Mustang GTs are going up in value. According to anecdotal evidence, eBay auction results and the Hagerty price guide, none of these cars are the bargain used beaters they were just three years ago. Nice examples can still be had for less than $10K (and trashed ones a third of that), but THE SURVIVORS, always rare, have been steadily climbing over the past 18 months."

I have noticed over the last few years, that my 1991 Formula is usually the ONLY 3rd Gen in the show. People come up to me and say "Hey I remember when I had an F-Body like that", but now mostly all of them have been reduced to beaters and the really nice ones are FEW and far between. I didn't start out to make my '91 Bird a show car, but after 5 years on the road, I just garaged it due to a rough Winter and that's where it has stayed. Who would have bought that type of Camaro/Firebird brand new back then and thought, you know what, I should just put this in storage and in 20+ years it might be worth what I paid for it!
