Monaro's
Torana's
Falcon's
Commodore's
Was it Bathurst that made them collectable?
Was it V8's that made them collectable?
Was it 'Limited Editions' that made them collectable?
There are so many other cars out there that are collectable, but they may be in the minority?
Have a look at prices for Escorts, XU1's, Celica's, F100's, Kombi's etc etc
The list just goes on.
IMO there are two reasons why a car is collectable;
1) Someone trying to make money
2) Someone who loves a particular car

I had a little think about this.
It has to be the limited editions doesn't it?
HO's, RT's, Cobras, big engined Holdens 327, 350 etc. All in limited numbers.
