Lordblood's point about the Mustang is interesting. But Porsche's are not mainstream enough to evoke the passion from Joe Average. If / when a Box becomes a museum piece, do you think the public will know the difference between an 04 550, an 08 LE, an 08 RS60, or the 11 Spyder vs any other Box? The models I just rolled off may become like a 65 Mustang with a 4bl 289 and the Pony option but from the outside most people couldn't tell them apart from a 6 cyl 3 spd. You could have a 6 cyl Mustang in a museum as easily as a hairy-chested one.
