Just look at Austin Healeys as an example. At some point as more people become aware of the early 4-seat birds their demand will increase, and so will their value. IMHO, the value will go up as the average person can no longer afford the corvettes or even the muscle cars anymore. Ford's making the later thunderbirds into just another production car wore off some of that uniqueness, and some of the demand for the earlier cars. The fact that corvette has stayed a limited production, 2-seat vehicle up to modern times has continued the mystique. Value is based on two things: rarity and desire.Ĭorvettes have a special following that is currently bigger than the Thunderbirds, especially the four seat birds. To paraphrase Forrest Gump: Value is as value does. Yet, it would only be an estimate.how many old guys that never even touch a computer are out there? There are just so many variables to have a good account of any remaining. With some data from tbird registry, I think we could calculate a more a little bit more accurately. I'm sure a good portion of that amount are cars that are not in very good condition, but still operational. ( I would probably go with the lower end) That leaves 10%-30% of the original production which is approximately 6,000 to 18,000. Now another 20% of that 60k+ are most likely sitting in some salvage yard or hidden under some tall grass in a farmers field somewhere or have rusted into oblivion. I would assume 50%-70% of those have made it to the crusher, so I'm thinking a maximum of 30,000-40,000 that exist.

Are you considering inoperable cars? Or just hardtops that are in operation?As for just cars that are in operation consider the original production of 62,535. That is somewhat of a difficult question to answer and has a broad spectrum.
