3 & 4th Generation camaro future
Just been thinking about the value of the 4th generation cars compaing them to the 1st and 2nd generation cars. The 1st generation and 2nd generation camaros seem to be in high demand to restore, making everything from daily drivers to all out show cars. I see alot of fbodys, being ragged out, scrapped and just no respect for. What do you all think? Will the 3rd & 4th generation become a popular car for restoring for future generations of people or were there to many of them produced? Or is it just because I grew up admiring the 1st and 2nd generations and the young folks of today are doing the same with the 3rd and 4th generation cars?

i am currently restoring a third gen now. however, i feel that 20 years from now, because of all the hacked up 3rd and 4th gens there are now, there wont be as many left. also take into consideration that most of the late model cars are electronics and plastic. it makes them a bit more expensive to fix, and when the parts are no longer availible, it will be just about impossible to fix them. i dont really see cars built after 1990 lasting as long as cars from all the previous years

It is hard to justify putting a lot of money in a 3rd or 4th gens body. I was at a guys house this weekend who has a 92 V6 he paid $300 for it, the body and paint looked good. The motor had spun a bearing. The paint looked original and had only a few scraches I did not see a single bubble or dent. I would have had no problem cleaning it up and adding a nice coat of wax and been good to go.

I believe they will one day become really popular. I think they are already on their way. I went to a knew Advance Auto parts store the other day and bought a Haynes repair manual and a customer there saw it ans asked if I had a camaro. then he said he had an 85' z28. Then, later on a store worker showed us pictures of his project camaro(third gen). I think they are on the way.

the irocs are already desireable if you look on craigslist you'll see people trying to sell them for $15,000. i think they all will be popular someday, mostly the v8 models though, if there werent so many v6's i think there would be a higher demand for them(sorry v6 guys im not being mean i had one) i mean look at the 6 cylinder powered 2nd gen camaros and firebirds the only reason people buy those is cause theyre cheap and you can put a v8 in them, otherwise theyre crap. ive had 4 f-body cars, 2 3rd gens and 2 4th gens, and i love em and honestly the 1st gens are great but if i had the money i would definitely go with something else, i mean theyre overdone honestly, every rich older guy that has the chance gets a 69 camaro it seems like(no disrespect) my favorites are the 2nd gen z28s early and late.

i feel the 3rd and 4th gens will go up in price more and one day and we might be seeing 2010 camaros going for 300$ for all we know.
