No one can predicte the future value of a car but with that being said there is nothing in the Camaro lines history that would make me believe that a rare V6 would be valuble. Yes it will be worth more then a base V6 but not by alot. People will like to look at them at shows but when it comes down value collectors do not want the 6ers. Anytime you take collectors out of the group of people that want the cars the price falls fast. Example 1975 RS I6 is worth more then a Base model I6? Not really.. Condition of the car would be a more important factor for value. In fact a Rare 75 rs I6 all orginal in great condition may have a tuff time selling because many purist would never cut into an original rare car but a base model I6 they will have no issue cutting up and building what they want.

I'd think it would take a collector who's really into slp cars to search for a slp rs. Since most people don't know about them because they are in the shadow of the ss cars.

This is still very true on many lines, BUT recently I've had more comments on the streets and offers on my car without my rs body kit then you would believe. I don't know if they just could see that its modded or what not. Most people now days(due to the market) don't have money to pay for even a p.o.s. Corolla. In the last month alone I've had people wanting to trade me nice clean boats and even their V8s just because its a V6 but a time bomb under the hood waiting to be stepped on. If you look back to when ,classic cars now, were just regular cars then. No one never really knew that something they spend a few hundred on or a grand on in high school and fixed her up to impress that pretty girl in school is something that they could turn around and sell and pay for their kids way threw college. Honestly all you have to say, RARE 1 IN 442 SLP RS Camaro and that still a deal breaker just hearing that only a few are made and even less are in great shape as yours. Hang on to what you have because its better if you hang on to it and it end up not being worth ****, to where if you sell it now for 10k(just shooting high) and in 10-15 years its worth 50k. So in the end, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

The 4the gens have hit the ten year mark. The 02s are 11 years old now. I remember when I bought my 98 kbb booked it at around 9k at the time since its very low optioned for a ss car.

If I'm right its 10-20 year range when the price drops because in peoples books,its just an old car not a classic car, but when it hits 25-30 is when people start seeing it as a classic but this is all just a theory I came up with over the years.
