I would say yes. Any RS, some of the AMG & M cars too.

Default Probably any car that runs on gas and uses 4 wheels to traverse the surface of the earth will be

worthy of auction at Barrett in 30 years...

Default Don't know about AMG.. there are so many models and frankly

all they've really done so far is to take every single body style and drop a more powerful engine inside of it.

AMG lacks that intangible special thing that classic RS and M models have.

Default I just watched about three hours of that last night that I saved on my DVR for a friend whose car

will be in the Palm Springs Auction (he hopes) I really don't enjoy that show nor do I find most of the cars that interesting.

Default I've sold a few cars at BJ...hit or miss. Friday or Saturday pm you could sell one well now.

It doesn't have to be a collectors item. They just want their cut. Two years ago there were two current twin turbo R32's from HPA (I think that's the name). Will it be a collectors car?
Will gas be available? Will the planet exist as we know it now?

R8 would do better.

Default of the 3, the M is the only with racing heritage recently

and they get regularly killed in anything resembling a GT series. plus there too many made.

so, no, none of the 3 are BJ worthy, imo.

Default why does racing heritage matter?

there are certainly not too many RS cars, and ones that are still in mint 30 years from now will be very rare.

a manual transmission is very "tangible"
