Not that I am adding anything unknown or anything like that but it seems like what we would call a recent surge in the interest level of our cars has brought in more of the purist crowd as well. Our cars have been primarily ignored by the exotic crowd and the muscle car crowd as well. Now that the "hybrid" nature of these cars is no longer necessarily frowned upon and there is actually some documented racing history around giving them at least some provenance, this interest should continue to rise. To collectors, the point is valid that they usually look for originality above all else. If the car is a floor trophy, then questionable reliability claims and other such issues are irrelevant.
This is a shame, however, in that many of these cars have been very tastefully upgraded and modified but these cars are being thrown in with others having modifications of questionable taste. Not trying to offend anyone but an example might be the false side exhaust installed on the Jackson's Pantera that comes to my mind. I guess what I am saying is to call any upgraded Pantera "molested" is offensive and simply not true. It is also a shame that the true value of these cars is being ignored or held back. I am of the belief that our cars are not only a bargain but a steal!
What are some of the reasons given for the lower resale value?

Unreliable - Better than most Italian cars of the era.
No racing history - Ok show me Lamborghini's racing history. Those cars hold value and are they better built and more reliable?
Poor build quality - See point #1. They were as good as almost any other car made at the time considering they were held to quite a low MSRP.

This could go on and on but the point is most of the arguments for lower values are either untrue or out of context.
Rant off.
