Consider that worldwide classic car values are driven very much by the US and UK markets, as that's where the biggest demand is. And if they are paying in excess of USD$20k for an immaculate car, then we should be asking $30k here. And eventually we will.
There are probably less good cars available in the US and EU as a lot more have rusted out than here in Aus, and as with all commodities supply and demand will dictate prices in future.
It's possible, and even probable, that in future US/UK buyers will start looking off-shore for good examples, as there are none to be sourced locally. When that happens, it won't mean Jack S*** what the Australian market values them at, as prices will be determined by world demand.
I'll be keeping my GTV long term I expect, but even if I was to sell it now, I'd be asking a lot more than $13k. If an old Monaro is worth $35k, then my GTV is worth $50k !!! hehehe
