As the heading states of all the Holdens made and manufactured in 2007 which one in the next 30 to 40 years will become a collectable such as the early monaros and X-U1's?
What do YOU think and WHY?

I think they will all become desirable to some extent. On current trend you would have to say the SSV will be the most valuable, then SS, SV6, Calais/Statesman then down the line.
Why???
Well if you look back 20 years ago people said that HKs would

I sort of agree with Warren but the thing that kills most of the last decade of "muscle cars" is.....RACING HERITAGE...if anyone thinks their SS or GTS of this era resembles what has been raced in the V8 supercar era is either blind or has too much money

in a different view and collectable for different reasons , the VY HBD panelvans , you do not see many of these on the streets.

I though HK to HG "bathurst Monaros" were mass produced, and Holden made as maby as they could sell, 1192 GTS 327s is not a limited edition.
Second type 327s, HQ GTS 350s do not have race heritage and look at their prices.
Go back 15 years and see w

oooooooow Dr Terry I was hoping for a bit more I know that the monaros and torana got their real status from racing in events that we will never see again but I was just wondering if you had to put your finger on a "modern" car which one and why?

How well will modern holdens age though? So much plastic, vinyl and other "non-metal" products form so much of the interior, exterior and the engineering on the engine and drivetrain is perhaps marginal at best.. designed for great performance over the l

If I had to pick a modern Holden, of any out of this millenia (post 2000) that I could stick in the shed itd be a choice of 3:
1. The HSV 427 Monaro. I know it was only a (CV6 I think) shell that was used at the original release, but who cares.
