LS400 will be a Collectable Classic (I believe)

Mustangs were an iconic car and ushered in the entire ponycar (and some would say, the musclecar) era. They were a turning point.
The LS400, while a significant leap for toyota and greatly turning up competition in the Flagship segment, did not have a similar impact.

The ls400 is an old mans car. It will never be a classic

This is hard to predict what is going to become a car that people will desire. The LS has a weak aftermarket following and the JDM variant isn't much different. Stuff to hang on it like body kits and wheels only go so far. Some company or person that can mass manufacture parts that people will want to improve performance helps in keeping these desirable.
The 1UZ is great but most of what we see is custom one-off work and that takes $ to be unique. The 2JZ transplants help but again, this is pretty extensive work.
Some cars that got a second chance or remained favorites in no particular order: Toyota Corolla AE86, Supra, Nissan 240, Honda S2000... Who would have thought that the Cressida would find such life. I liked the MX73 we had and there were interchangeable engine and suspension from the Supra. Not many engine options or goodies available for the UCF.
Ya just have to hold onto your UCF as long as possible...and wait if anything develops for it.
