Good afternoon, all,--read an article over the weekend -- an interview with Dean Krause -- who
is the director of global marketing for Krause International. Krause
International, as most of you know is a company that specializes in
collector-car auctions.
Every year, Mr. Krause compiles his "Dean's List." This list is a list
that focuses on cars Mr. Krause expects to be the most desirable among
collectors and that have the potential to appreciate in value the most in
the coming year.
Here is his list for the coming year:
1935-36 Auburn Boattail Speedster
1961 Chevrolet Impala V8 Convertible
1963 Chevrolet Corvette (all models)
1964-1967 Austin Healy 3000 Mark III
1966 Chevrolet Nova SS 327
1967 Ford Mustang Convertible
1968 Shelby Mustang Cobra GT500 Convertible
1969-1974 Ferrari 246 GT/GTS Dino
1971 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack
and:
ALL Chevrolet Camaros and Firebirds.
Mr. Krause writes about the F-car: I'm picking them all. These two
models began in 1967 and have included some of the most popular and exotic
of all the American Pony Cars. Whether it's an Indy Pace Car, a Trans Am
that recalls "Smokey and the Bandit" or a Super Duty Pontiac Firebird 455,
GM's muscle cars have built huge reputations and a great and loyal
following. GM is going to scrap these two series, ( sez who?) and I think
all Camaros and Firebirds will jump by 15 to 20 percent in '02. These two
models always have been great sellers in our auctions and '02 should be a
bonanza year to buy these cars."
