I think it may become a classic in the same way the 914 is a classic now. However, I don't see them being coveted and sold at car auctions for millions of dollars. If the Boxster where to become a classic, I would put my money on the 986, not the 987. It has won far more awards:

Car and Driver: One of the 10 Best Cars of 1997
Automobile: Automobile of the Year
Motor: 1997 Performance Car of the Year
Autocar: Best Roadster in the World
Motorweek: 1997 Drivers Choice for Best Sports Car
The Philadelphia Inquirer: Best Sports Car of the Decade
Newsweek: One of the Best New Products of 1997
BusinessWeek: One of the Best New Products of 1997
American Marketing Association: Best New Product of 1997
Automobile Journalists of Canada: 1997 Car of the Year
Automobile Journalists of Canada: Best Design of 1997
The Boxster has been on Car and Driver magazine's annual Ten Best list nine times, from 1998 through 2003 and 2006 through 2008.
The Boxster S (986s) was rated one of the top ten Porsches of all time by Excellence magazine.
