RE: ur-q collectability in the US

["Mike Del Tergo" <mdeltergo@hotmail.com>]

<The totally unique 85 ur-q type had a build 
number of like 73, so they are by far much rarer Vs the earlier 
81-84 build type. So yes, model year-wise the 84s are rarest, but
that will be of no real importance to the typical collector.>
What?! In the US market, for US cars absolute prod #'s along with 
options virtually determine collector value (investor interest assumed)
Nearer to your heart, try to find a 72 Blue 4sp T/A!  Strike year really 
low production
<Most collectors, with the exception of
the total fanatic, want the single best example possible of all
of the different types available, i.e., the ur-q 85.>
You just said 81-84 is a build type, so if 85 is a different type from 
81-84, of what group is it then the best?  Since there is no performance 
difference in years, I suspect there would be little premium +- 10% for 
similar cars.  As evidence I offer the 85 UrQ from CA that was 
advertised for quite some time 2 months ago on epages.
Fresh rebuild, suspension, 8" Ronals, 120K total?, nice int, extra 
suspension & wheels turbo'd chipped etc, $8,500 BO.

Mike
