FWIW I don't see Air Cooled 911s continuing to go up in value at the rate he predicts. I think they will top out, only so much car you get for the money but I'm happy to be wrong. Sadly no mention of the S30z in the blurb, but that's ok with me. I've got another ace up my sleeve. 

 

2) Japanese cars will continue to gain respect, and interest, at auction. A few decades back, almost no one considered Japanese cars collectable, but prices for high-end Japanese sports cars have grown considerably in recent years. Toyota 2000GT models now routinely sell in the million-dollar range, with Mazda Cosmo models trading hands for a quarter-million dollars. A two-door “Hakosuka” Nissan Skyline GT-R sold for $242,000 last summer, and that car was never even sold on these shores. As prices for these uber-desirable models grow, look for a trickle-down effect to occur on more pedestrian models, such as the Datsun 510 sedan and unmolested examples of third-generation (FD) Mazda RX-7s. Overall, I expect to see a much larger Japanese car presence at auction in 2015.

 

If you like reading comments there is a few discussions of the 240z from some people after the main article. Look for John and Kurt.
