Well, congrats Greg Lemonde, spandex suits you!  UrQs already are 
collectible, as they reside in museums, collections as well as a few 
garages.

>Reason #1 There were just too many of them brought into the country.

Poor reasoning here, lots of others Marques and models imported in far 
higher numbers are also collectible.

>#2 There is zero market for a early-80's AWD car produced 162 hp. 

Zero market would imply no transactions, simply not the case

>Remember, we are not talking about a mid-60's Hemi Cuda, 427
alum. block Camero [sic]or 427 split-window Vette.  

Above examples nullify #'s argument, not to mention no BB option for 63 
split window Vette.

>Would I like to own an Ur-Q. . .sure but not at the price of admission 
that some people think they are worth. 

Asking price is exactly that, though given the performance for the $'s, 
I don't think very low double digit thousands for a nice one is 
outrageous.

My $.02

81 UrQ, 91 CQ, 70 Vette
