Whether 930's are collectables or not is not really the question. You have to look at production numbers of course, but if you compare those of the 70ies and 80ies to those of the 50ies and 60ies OF COURSE there are more cars built. That doesn't mean they are less collectable, in general there were more cars built with globalizing demand and less war in the first world. Today, unlike in the 50ies and 70ies and unlike to the general last third of last century, more cars are being produced of every car. Stuff like a Lamborghini Reventon is an exception, created through intentional marketing. In contrast to an aforementioned 250 GTO.
So in general, collectors that age like everyone else will confront bigger production quantities, with machines that are as desirable for all the other right reasons.
For a collector 3 things in sports cars are relevant (not necessarily in that order):
1) condition
2) origin in sports / achievements
3) numbers produced
1 depends on you, 2 and 3 is a check for 930's, as even the individual years count.
930's will go up in general, 75 Turbos are reaching 7 figures first (maybe in 10 to 20 years?), and 3.3's are last to follow. Then come the modded ones. But consider 100 years down the line, do you really think the gap between SWB's, RSR's and Turbos is going to stay that big?
And VoitureLtd: "We here in the US probably have the most and best of many sought after cars to own." As only a very small fraction of cars worthy of the term collectables actually originate from the US, and US modifications (for insurance, smog, whatever) actually mostly always mean less value, e.g. in Ferraris, Porsches of the 60ies, 70ies and 80ies.. has anyone ever heard of an US version to be worth more than a Euro version?
