Storage= $$$ ?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys.. just a general question... I'm thinking of keeping my 33 s2 in storage for about 30 years. Is it going to be worth anything by then? Any potential problems that could occur to the car during that time?

This is more of a ' I wanna dose in 30 years time and be unique by not driving a electric piece of junk' moment

It would need to go into a car cacoon or zero oxygen & mositure atmosphere. Otherwise it will just rot and rust.

As to what it will be worth - look at the early 70's XY fords. The GTHO & GT are worth alot, as for the base models - although they have increased in price over there original value, not enough to really make the effort worthwhile.

how about "buy heaps of rat bait, cause they gonna nibble the shit outta your car"

Does that work? ;)

Sounds better than preserving one's mother-in-law in formalin and putting her on the mantlepiece.

if they are in the right condition with matching numbers, etc. but there is also a lot less of them.

as for whether a skyline would be worth anything in 30 years, taking into account inflation, storage costs, etc, i doubt it will be worth anything, unless it is a rare model. and it would have to be in relatively standard condition.

having said that, the way things are going with cars, a 30 year old skyline wiill be like 30 year old cars now. nice, but slow by todays standards. most of the hot hatches of today will give a skyline a run for their money, and leave a 30 year old muscle car for dead (unless it has serious work done)

    • Any reason you didn't, like... change it while at the Pie shop so you could compare them on the way back? (all the more reason to go for another drive I suppose)
    • After a lovely little cruise up Mac Pass into Robertson pie shop on the weekend, and all the daily driving on our crappy roads, I decided to soften up the dampers a bit I've gone from 13 clicks from full soft to 9 clicks on the front, and from 8 clicks full soft to 4 clicks on the rear Whilst the car did handle great before, on smooth roads, it was a little bit harsh on pot holes and joins in the road, but only in the rear Also, my uneducated assumption is you need more dampening in the front compared to the rear, hence the front is set a little harder by 5  Will this help the budget spec BC RS coilovers on bumpy roads, I'm hopeful.....
