You quoted SS numbers alone for only one year and decided that was representative of all f-body's?

Try adding in all the V6 model Firebirds and Camaros, then add all the Formula V8's, then add all the Z28's, then add all the WS6's, then add all the Camaro SS's, and on and on and on and on for 1998 through 2002.

I'm not sure I agree a classic needs to have been popular in its day. It could have been overlooked. Were Sunbeam Tigers and Alpines that popular back when? Or the Cobra? Or the XKE? I doubt it but they're all classics. Perhaps unobtanium can supercede popularity?

01 and 02 M roadster with the S54 motor. I believe only 1200 were built in 2 years. Limited number means $$$$ later on!
