Classic?

My dad has an 85' Chevorlet Celebirty, it's in showroom condition. It has about 2 nicks from rock's hitting it (very small). No rust or anything. Has 25,000 miles, and the first year he had it, he put on 12,000. Everything is original, Ecept Tires/brakes/Sparkplugs (they are numbered to which cylinder they went to) And when I say original I mean orihinal all the way down to the windshield wiper fluid ( :redface: )

We have the battery dissconnected since we dont use the car (been sitting for 4 years) And we try to start it up every 3 months.

I know it's nothing special to you guys, but it kinda has centimental value to me/my dad.

The only problem is that since it has been sitting the headliner has fallen down.

Do you think it will be worth anything in the future, because I mean whenever you see one, it is all rusted out and stuff, and it should be worth alot if it's like 1 out of 100 good condition car's, right?

Wait seven years, then see what happens. It's still going to be a while before this vehicle will be "collectable" (in which case a good condition one would probably be worth something) but I don't know if it'll be regaurded as a classic, I think few 1980's American cars will be.

I thought classic had to be 15 years old, and no longer being made?

Most states let you register a car as a classic (or collectible) when it is 25 years old, some let you do so when it is 30 years old. I don't know of a single state that'll let you register a 15 year old car as a classic (and I think few people would consider a 15 year old car classic) If anything, 15 years is about the point where a vehicle is worth it's least.

Well here in pa, it is 15 years and no longer made for a classic, and an antique has to be 20 years old.
