Demand is a very finicky thing and it is hard trying to pick the ones that will go up in value. They made 547 1987 GNX's which are very similar to the other thousands of GN, T Types, & Limited turbos. To me the Regal is a car my parents drove with a hopped up engine.
They made 1,550 1989 20th Anniversary Trans Am's with a very similar engine and 17 lbs of boost. The TTA's are a bit faster, and aren't limited to around 120 MPH top speed like the GNX. They also go around corners. A typical Trans Am of that generation is lucky to get into the mid 15's in the quarter compared to the TTA which is low 13's or high 12's.
The TTA has not appreciated like the GNX. I think the reason the GNX has gone up in value is that there are so few and the market is tightly controlled. I know one person who has 5 or 6 of them. There were well over 5,000 C4 ZR-1's which I think will keep the prices from getting too high.
