The really nice ones -- original paint, low miles, and stock seem to be appreciating, especially the '88 turbo S and '89 turbos.

Outside of those I'm seeing some appreciation but not that drastic... The ones that are cosmetically challenged, or just neglected can still be had for very little money. And, that is because it takes a lot of money to bring those back...

I'm more suspicious of the almost 30 yo airbags so would prefer not to have them. They do add weight... but don't think this has any positive or negative from a value perspective. I think it is more important to have a stock car so if the car had them originally you should keep them.

I know there is one in ventura so wondering if that is the one you want to pick up. That thing is in rough shape - the interior looks horrible and hard to believe that motor has been rebuilt plus $600 in back fees ... ouch. I'd offer $2000 for it. It might even be a "parting" candidate.
