i realized after i got my 96 ss how low production they were 2410 total ss, that includes Canada sold cars.im not planning on parting with this car.

 

Nothing in the long history of car collecting shows a car that was ejected when new will become valuble because there is not many around.

Cars gain in value when people start fondly remembering them. Of course they do not want their V6 they had they want the one they dreamed about having. All the above numbers mean is less people bought the cars because less people liked them. There is a good chance that less people will have fond memories of them. Rare does not equal valuable. Some of the highest production years are the most sought after cars.
Also 1972 does not count. Cars where in demand GM just did not have anyone to build them. Even though the 72 is a very low volume year they are not worth much more then a 71. Most people think in terms of 70-72

 

The best investment aspect of these cars is the personal type. I plan on keeping my Camaro for a very long time. Not because I pray it will be worth something to someone, but because the car means a lot to me. I've already owned it for 10 years.

All in all, these cars are throw away cars, not meant to be around long or prised. Doesn't mean that we owners don't prise them, but the mass majority of car people don't. Their loss.
