I think it is safe to say that, after reading the comments in this thread, it is established that "classic" is reserved for a 20 year old vehicle while "antique" for a 25 year or older one. In a few words, the TJ will be a classic in the foreseeable future. Now desirable? That's a different and hard-to-answer question. Within the TJ family of Jeeps, there are so many variations in trims. I will just mention top of the line, as that seems to be the most desired vehicles of any make or model. I will not add package editions as those may or may not add any value.
We have the 97-2002 TJs in which the top of the line was the Sahara I believe, the 2003-2004 Rubicon with the five speed, 2005-2006 Rubicon with the six speed, but then it can be argued that the 2005-2006 LJ Rubicon can be considered in this group as well (added to the poll). Automatic transmissions can also be included in the mix. Now which will be the most desired? I cannot say. The one I like the most is the 2003-2004 Rubicon with the 5 speed manual trans. That's one vote.
