Cole has a point.
From his perspective, this car could be worth substantially more someday, but only if 95% of the remaining vehicles in those production numbers are crushed.
However, there are several models that Dodge made that same year/era that will never be valued at the level of a mint, orig. Hemi Cuda and still, that car would not be valued at what it is if 95% of the others were not crushed as well. That said, a Hemi Cuda was a top-of-the-line performance car for it's day, the 968 tip is hardly that. Somewhat apples and oranges.
From that perspective, this car would make more sense to be preserved then John's 951 since that car is bastardized - a 951/968 hybrid - and smacked twice.
Who knows what the cars value in 10 -20 years could be? It is, perhaps, unfortunate that I dont have the space and patience to watch it appreciate that slowly. If I did have the resources to do so, I'd find a car that was more superlative than a '92 tip and at least one with better paint.

1 at a time need to disapear for my 2 to be anything of a return on investment one day... and untill then I am enjoying them, and buying cheap parts off those who are parting them out...
I might hit you up in a little bit about that engine... I'm having a recurring dream that for whatever reason has a 3L turbo in my car...

Just my opinion I would have fix it but I has also put two wrecked cars together to make a decent track car with the thought that if it was wreck at the track what the hell.

Yeah, Jay. A well oiled machine - at least judging from the outside of the motor. LOL!
