Basically, every cool model has the same destiny. First, they are desirable. Then their price depreciates. Unfortunate cars get purchased by idiots. After 5 years of abusing and neglecting those poor cars are sent to a scrap yard. Five more years will pass until enthusiasts start saving them. Their price starts growing up. And cool cars become desirable again.
If you want to preserve a piece of history, go for those gems in their early twenties. You can easily find a nice, complete car for less money than you will pay for a laptop.
Front View
The newer model has a plastic front bumper, with the turn signals incorporated into the bumper.
Let's check Alfa Romeo GTV, cars made just before and just after 1980.
I prefer the "new one"
Back View
The older one had split tail lights - I prefer that style rather than a giant cluster that was installed on a newer model.
Interior
For me, the old model is much more desirable because - there is no speedometer?! How fast do you go? Who cares, you are fast enough. If you really, really want to know the number, there is a speedometer, at the central console.
Gemology :D
And of course, cuore sportivo:
