Our cars will never be worth what a 550 is because too many were made, but i do see the boxster as being an appreciated older car at the very least. Late 90s cars are starting to look very very good, sometimes a good design needs to age like wine for it to really be appreciated and fulfill its full potential. Others have mentioned jags and alfa romeos and i could do nothing but agree.

well I'll say this about the Boxster/Cayman and 996 Carrera. They will be cars with manual transmissions and non-electric steering and old school flat six's like you say, that the owner can actually drive the wheels off at any track day or autocross, and no matter the weather it can be taken out for a spirited drive, thus it will not be a garage queens treated with kid gloves like so many other Porsches.
It's genuinely a "best of both worlds" workhorse group of Porsches that get a heck of a lot of flack from the "purists" but you'll be out shredding tires while their home waxing or saving up to finish that $10K engine rebuild.
