Default Ford GT will end up classics some day?

Does anyone think that the Mustangs - Shelby GT, Ford GT500 or Ford GT will end up classics some day? I'm thinking - no.
In the 100 plus year history of the Ford Motor Company they have produced one car that stands out from all others, the Ford GT. Produced for just two short years, 4038 cars, 550 hp, 212 mph, mid-engine, handbuilt and adorned with the most sensuous body ever to grace an automobile. Does anyone think that the Ford GT, out of production now for one year with prices already climbing, is not already a classic? To a lot of us, this is the most desirable car that has ever been produced in the United States. Classic is an understatement.
