The reason why the last years are so desirable is because they are the last to have the carbureted engines. After that they went to fuel injection and the teams would not sell you the systems for programming or tunning. That's their own research and development patents. Therefore, after those years you wouldn't be able to tune them. So the last of the carbureted ones are the ones to collect. I believe 2012 was the last year.
