The prices on our classic Pontiacs will not be affected. It's not like having an autograph of some famous celebrity that suddenly dies, and their autograph suddenly goes up in value. These are just cars, most of them restored using cheap Taiwanese parts today, and they have no connection to the current Pontiac product. Parts prices will also not be affected, because whatever was made 30 years ago is still floating around via E-Bay whether Pontiac is here or not. It would be different if we still bought all our classic parts straight from Pontiac, but the hobby, and our passion for Pontiacs, continues whether Pontiac is here or not. Prices for Oldsmobiles, Plymouths, and AMC's didn't change when those manufacturers shut down. ALL Musclecar prices rose in value after 2000 due to the investor "bubble", so some people thought that when Oldsmobile shut down (2000-2005), prices on 442's rose, but ALL classic cars rose in price at that time, not just Oldsmobiles.
However, since Pontiac WAS synonomous with Musclecars, and the GTO and Firebird were SO well known, there may be a new interest from people to remember the fond old days when Musclecars roamed the streets, you know, back when America was a cool place to live.
I'm sorry to see Pontiac go. I know they didn't have Pontiac hearts under their hoods, but Pontiac styling always looked aggressive, they always had an identity, and there was always a touch of excitement in every model, from the interior to the split grille, from that wonderful arrowhead emblem up front, to their aggressive stance. From Bonnevilles to G8's, from GTO's to Grand Prix's, from Lemans's to G6's, from Firebirds to Grand Am's, they were ALL cool cars.
