Question 96 Mystic Cobra / 04 Mystichrome Cobra Collectible?

So I am wondering if because of the paint on these cobras that down the road these 2 cobra's will fetch a pretty penny. I own a 96 mystic cobra with 2,500 miles and my brother owns an 04 mysticchrome cobra convertible with about 6,500 miles. Do you think these 2 particular cobras will fetch a decent buck because of their paint or do you think that wont really matter down the road.

The reason I ask is because I am debating if i want to keep the miles very low still or start driving it more.

What would you do/think about the future value's of these 2 particular cars.

The Mystic and Mystichrome Cobra's will probably bring more $ later in life.But I'm a firm believer in driving and enjoying cars. If you are not going to drive and enjoy it like it was intended to do please sell it to a Real car guy that will. just my .02

haha... I know right.... I probably should have bought one with more miles so I wouldnt feel as obligated to not drive it lol.... But I wanted one in mint condition and I searched high and low for it....

Here are the 2 together lol... The one without the tinted windows is the one I just bought over the past summer. The one with the tinted windows is the one I just sold.... It was fun having the 2 but I am much happier with the one with the lower miles... its in much better condition.

I bought mine in Florida, so I dont think it was the same one unless it was in florida where you seen it then possibly maybe it was?
