Will Hummers become valuable classics?

I really don't care if they become classics or not. There's nothing out there I like as much as my H2. Up here the H2s are holding their value and actually going up in price in the used car market. I was contemplating a low mileage 2009 to replace mine that I saw in Orlando, however, when I got home and decided I wanted it, it was sold. Good low mileage ones go fast. My plans for now are just to keep maintaining mine, even if it means ultimately reengining and a new tranny or transfer case someday. I'm at 127,000 miles on mine, just had the front seats recovered, and it's running strong.

Think Grand Wagoneer from '62 into '91; that's very much my impression of the H2's future into collectibility.
The Wagoneer is a really cool proven luxury 4x4 and nice original or restored models go for decent, not outrageous money.
I don't think the deuce is going to be highly collectible or worth outrageous money just because of the production numbers.
Of those made, of course the '09 will always be the most coveted due to the sheer low numbers made, and a few of them got a couple really cool options that most H2's never got--heated steering wheel, power pedal adjust and bucket seats in the second row.
Along with the '09's, the limited edition H2's that were released will also be more desirable, and more so with all of the extras that came on them. Many LE owners have already taken the LE steps off, some have taken the lightbars off, and some have stripped all the chrome for black. So nice original LE's will be a good find with the special paint.
As for me, I'm just going to enjoy our H2 as long as I can.

My 06 has 104K and looks as good as a 40K deuce. Only worry i have is to find a 08 when the time comes. Don't think that time will come soon either!
