Does that equate into value? Perceived value?
The only thing that will cause the price of the SVX to go up is more interest in it.
Can you get a buying collector interested in a nice car that was a commercial flop? Possibly. It has happened, but rarely. Avanti from Studebaker is a good example of a low production, nice car which failed commercially and has relatively low value, yet has a fanatical all be it small following.
I think there is a parallel.

There must be a parallel, because I love Avanti's too. I am one of those people that loves to have something out of the ordinary. No matter what the resale value of my SVX, it was worth it to me.
I don't think that you can buy any car, drive it regularly, and not lose money on the resale. If you want to make money on it you need to buy it, park it, and in twenty to thirty years, maybe it will be worth something. If you took that money and put it into a savings account with modest interest, it would most likely be worth more than the car in thirty years. I say drive 'em and enjoy 'em.
