2013 Nissan 370Z — what current car has future-classic potential without hype?

NewCarMechanicish876Community StarterDec 29, 20252013 Nissan 370Z TouringWestchester

2013 Nissan 370Z Touring, about 117,500 miles. Ignoring limited-production supercars, which current or recent cars have the ingredients collectors may care about later: drivetrain, design, rarity, enthusiast following, manual availability or a unique platform?

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2013 Nissan 370Z before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Yes, with one caveat: On the 2013 Nissan 370Z in Westchester, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “what current car has future-classic potential without,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
