True Value of Rubihara over an equivalent LJ

[syncroadventure]

I'm curious what others think. I currently own a pretty Descent LJ Rubicon, though it is with my son in Texas right now. I also own a JK Rubicon. Since I am obviously not well, in considering another jeep, I am looking for opinions.

What is the true value of a Rubihara? Do others think it will become collectable based on the limited production or is it view as just another LJ that I should be more afraid to scratch? If you go on the Rubihara group on FB it is hard to get a good read, because obviously they are all invested in the outcome.

Is a Rubihara collectable?

How is the value diminished the further it gets from stock, ie bumpers, lift etc?

I'm interested in others opinions.

Thanks

Not in the way factory stock 60's muscle cars are. Some hardcore Jeep nerd might be willing to pay a premium but your average auto enthusiast would not.

from slightly to severely depending on how far from OEM condition

I agree with LJ.
