Hey guys.. just a general question... I'm thinking of keeping my 33 s2 in storage for about 30 years. Is it going to be worth anything by then? Any potential problems that could occur to the car during that time?

This is more of a ' I wanna dose in 30 years time and be unique by not driving a electric piece of junk' moment

It would need to go into a car cacoon or zero oxygen & mositure atmosphere. Otherwise it will just rot and rust.

As to what it will be worth - look at the early 70's XY fords. The GTHO & GT are worth alot, as for the base models - although they have increased in price over there original value, not enough to really make the effort worthwhile.

if they are in the right condition with matching numbers, etc. but there is also a lot less of them.

as for whether a skyline would be worth anything in 30 years, taking into account inflation, storage costs, etc, i doubt it will be worth anything, unless it is a rare model. and it would have to be in relatively standard condition.

having said that, the way things are going with cars, a 30 year old skyline wiill be like 30 year old cars now. nice, but slow by todays standards. most of the hot hatches of today will give a skyline a run for their money, and leave a 30 year old muscle car for dead (unless it has serious work done)

    • I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao. 
    • Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.
    • 100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.
    • Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
    • This is a stupid reason to get a car. I thought someone mentioned something about not trying to be pretentious... Flexing is same same, you just think you're cool doing it.
