Market Highlights
- The Survivor Premium: In 2026, the market for 3rd-generation F-bodies has bifurcated. While high-performance V8 models command premium prices, low-mileage, unmolested V6 survivors like this Firebird offer incredible value for enthusiasts seeking a nostalgic, rust-free aesthetic without the V8 price tag.
- California Classic Market: Southern and Northern California remains the premier market for vintage American steel. Vehicles that have remained local for decades, such as this Santa Rosa car, carry a premium because they lack the structural corrosion found in vehicles from the rust belt.
- V6 Practicality: The 2.8L V6 was the workhorse of the 1980s GM lineup. While it lacks the raw power of the Trans Am variants, it is easier to maintain and cheaper to insure, making it an ideal 'first classic' or a reliable weekend cruiser for a budget-conscious collector.
