Although not quite as well known to the general public as later Japanese sports cars like the Nissan Z, the 2000GT is regarded by many collectors as possibly the first highly collectible Japanese car. As of 2004, good examples can reach very high auction prices (reaching even $200,000 at auctions), though parts availability is a problem. Some combination of interesting provenance (particularly the first and second owners) and cosmetic perfection seems to be the formula for the highest auction values. Panel fit, overall finish, and interior quality/originality seem to be the primary value factor. In the summer of 07 Toyota sponsored a 2000GT gathering at Laguna Seca where 27 were driven around the track. Since then several have sold over $300,000 with one going for $325,000.
Mais il est vrai que la Challenger Hemi 1970 a elle aussi une valeur "inestimable"... mais à moins d'être une pièce de musée qui n'a jamias rouler en vente à Barrett-Jackson, sa valeur sera égale ou moins que celle d'une 2000GT.
