Well I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and somethings only worth what someone else is willing to pay. In my view a collector is a vehicle that would be worthy of crossing RM, Branson, or Barrett-Jackson. This car might have a very small group, 20yrs from now willing to pay it's original price however I highly doubt it. I guess the definition of collector is a bit ambiguos. I'd be hard pressed to call the Nismo 350z a collector. And for 38k the Z will WAX that civic.
