As far as the headlights go, I for one really like their shape and the amber color. the shape is so unique. Nobody and I mean nobody else has them. Honestly, how cool is that. the way they flow meld with the shape of the car. C'mon you gotta love them. As far as the amber goes, as these cars age more people will respect their age and what they did for the turnaround and (I think) want to see them as they really were designed not made to look like something they just weren't meant to be when they were created.

Yeah, no I don't love the headlights. They are unattractive.
As for the "worth" argument. If a car possesses such wonderful characteristics, it will be in demand. If the car is both in possession of these wonderful characteristics and available at a low price, demand should be strong. Even with a high level of production, after so many years, if demand is very strong due to great characteristics, prices rise (see vintage ferraris, 993s, etc).
So, while the 986 is a nice driving, decent looking, and somewhat high quality vehicle, there are reasons that its value hasn't risen, be that looks, concerns regarding reliability, or perhaps lack of power.
