Sell Or Keep 1993 SC300
I have a 1993 SC300 that I purchased new. It looks good, runs good, has 233,000 miles. It isn't driven anymore. I'm considering selling it, but I want to know if it's worth keeping as an "investment."
I'm looking for advice from legitimate collectors/restorers.

I don't think the SC will be a collectors car in the future. Sorry, just my opinion of course. I think the Supra, Type-R, and FD will be those very expensive cars at the Barrett Jackson auctions later in our lifetime.
If the car is worth saving and you like a comfortable luxury cruiser than save it. If you won't restore the car and rarely drive it, sell it to another member who will give it a happy life

I'm in agreement with everyone above. These cars aren't going to have stellar value in the future even though you can make them into great muscle cars. Though mechanically similar to the Supra Twin Turbo they will only be worth so much. Exceptions depend of the car and quality of work.
Look at the used 1965-1973 Mustang coupe market. Models with inline-six and 302 V8 engines aren't very fast or special. Often the values of these coupes are nowhere near what high performance optioned examples are, let alone ANY fastback regardless of what engine came with it. Fastback bodies with no drivetrain at all but with production numbers that said they were manufactured with 390, 428 or Boss 302 engines still sell for ridiculous money. Mind you they are just shells and won't drive anywhere.
This is the the same boat the SC300/400 is in. If heavily modified they will be worth Far more than the few thousand stock examples sell for (excl. 5-speed manual or 1998-2000 SC400 VVT-i) but if the 60's pony car market is any indication, values will not rise dramatically.
