Values & interest could easily drop a couple decades from now like the muscle car, but then again, values may stay consistent or continue to rise as environmental changes occur making such cars a thing of the past. I believe the muscle car era has seen a bit of an uptick as the 'Murica V8 becomes slowly phased out.

1971 DeTomaso Pantera
Only bid to $62k which is low for a Pantera in this condition and almost OEM.
Brings back some memories of a friend Jim who lived in his parent's house in a rich neighborhood during high school in the late '70's. A wealthy Chinese family in the neighborhood had a bright yellow Pantera like this one with the split front bumpers, really cool looking car. only the dad drove it. Jim dated one of the three daughters (all of which were really cute). Parents disapproved of Jim for alot of reasons, being Caucasian and he was sorta like Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High so relationship lasted 1/2 year.
Anyway no matter how hard Jim tried he could never convince her to take out the Pantera for a joy ride. I would see it on the road 1-2 times a month, the Borla exhaust 351 Cleveland V8 sounded so right, and the conservative mid-40's dad drove it pretty fast with his Ray-Ban aviators and black driving gloves.
I know someone who owned and operated a exotic car repair shop in PG County, Maryland and worked on several Pantera's, said they were great cars except for the fact that they were also rust buckets.

A Koenigsegg Regera is already pretty rare, let alone one that’s up for auction with just 369 miles from new and optional extras totaling $710,200 USD.
Offered by Gooding & Company at its 2021 Geared Online Scottsdale Edition auction, this special Regera really is the star of the show. It’s finished in non-metallic “Battle Grey” over a “Desiato Black” interior and features upgrades such as the $285,000 USD “Ghost Package,” which gives the car better aerodynamics for 20 percent more downforce, as well as the $250,000 USD “Environmental Power Upgrade” that gives the car 200 HP more when running on E85 fuel.
Elsewhere, we see a set of Tresex Aircore carbon fiber wheels costing $57,000 USD, and a whole host of carbon fiber panels reworking elements such as the air intakes, roof panel and bonnet, “Speedster Sides,” and inner rockers, coming to a total of $103,700 USD.
Of course, the Regera comes fitted with its twin-turbo V8 engine and three electric motors that combine to create 1,500 HP, making it one of the most rapid high-performance hybrid hypercars around.
Refined to an exacting taste, this Regera is perhaps one of the best spec’d versions around with absolutely no expenses spared. Costing $2,213,000 USD before the upgrades (and more than $2,920,000 USD in total), this model is now up for grabs with Gooding & Co. with an estimated sale price of between $2,750,000 USD and $3,500,000 USD, which makes this a relatively fair deal.

Cizeta V16T anyone? This is what the Diablo could've looked like if Chrysler was not involved...

The muscle cars faded as the generations that grew up with muscle cars have been able to afford them for a long time & the lust for them changed. A chunk of the market is re-centering around the 90's icons, esp. the Japanese stuff that slowly makes its way to becoming legal here, as people our age slowly become able to afford them.
Values & interest could easily drop a couple decades from now like the muscle car, but then again, values may stay consistent or continue to rise as environmental changes occur making such cars a thing of the past. I believe the muscle car era has seen a bit of an uptick as the 'Murica V8 becomes slowly phased out.

On the anecdotal side having owned both that were daily drivers (to some extent - or were at least out and about on the road frequently) my 67 mustang will probably sell for less now than 20 years ago. I do not have as many people leaving notes asking if it is for sale or wanting to otherwise buy it, etc. It will probably take me weeks/months to sell it when I decide to list it. When I listed the 94 Supra TT it sold in about 36 hours.
And to avoid it potentially being off topic - I don't think either car approached the conditions of the muscle cars / Supras that are listed on BAT. So my experience relates to an entirely different market of buyers.

Just sheer curiosity from the owner's comment, "156/400 is GC8-069816 (said car here) and was built together with 155/400 GC8-069815", I'm guessing the 22Bs were built in small batches when you dig into their VINs? His car & #155 were indeed built together, but #157 seems to have been built later on as it's GC8-069846 alongside cars #158-160 (9847-9849). Then you get cars #161-164 (9879-9882) & so forth.
Did these 22Bs share VINs with normal STi's at the time?

Here's the link to #157 for sale (with google translate). I think the speedometer was changed out, but the car does look virginal.
