Modern classic cars...post 1995?

[outboard_256]

I think stick shift 4x4's will become classics.

I'm sorry, Corvettes don't go up in value. Way too many were made. Maybe, maybe an edition like you have. But that's a maybe at best. I would not "invest" in them. Not discounting them, it's just what I've seen a lot of.

What 30 year old cars do you think will be collectible in the future? Maybe they already are? Curious on opinions.

Nothing that needs to be smogged in CA.

Any legit collector KNOWS not to buy a vehicle that requires a smog cert.

Times two on those. God I sure wanted one back in the day.

Adding to the list, I think these V-10s from ‘05 to ‘10 will come around in a few years. Exorbitant maintenance costs keep prices depressed. BMW went mental when they dropped these in the M5 and M6s.

Nothing like hearing these sweet, linear N.A. MPower motors screaming to the 8,300 RPM redline. Reminiscent of those glorious F1 motors back in the day. I’m keeping this example, just because.

One of the best sounding motors out there.

Check back in on that value in 15-20 years. Based on the history of vettes that are 15-20 years old now.

2000 Cobra R
03-04 Mustang Cobra Terminators
Early 2000's Mustang Bullit
Early 2000's F150 Lightning
2002 Camaro SS and Trans Am WS6
C5 and C6 Z06

Agreed on all of these. Theres a couple Terminator mustang and Lightning facebook groups that I follow and the prices just keep going up

These are essentially an import of the Australian Holden if i remember correctly right?

They were badass sleepers back in the day, RWD with an LS1

This is the later version, the SS with an LS3, 3500 a year imported from Holden Australia 4 years and done. We looked at the GTO and the G8 but held off.

It was a good choice, and in silver it looks like a rental car.

The GTO's always looked like Toyota Camry styling

So right now I have three of the cars named
1st and 3rd gen 4runners
06 Chevy duramax
16 Chevy SS
Also a 90's FJ 80 LC

Coworker of mine has an SS like this, dark gray lowered on some badass wheels, and a manual trans. It is a fun car to ride in to lunch lol

The manual has to be fun in a 4 door sedan, hers is an auto.

It's not the fastest thing around but its a great highway car, also most people don't really know what it is. We hustle it to Topock from time to time and it pulls 22 mpg .

Perfect a for sale thread apparently in CA it’s frowned upon with no emissions or mufflers on cars.

The newer Dodge Challengers especially with the ultra high horsepower supercharged engines. I was around when the 1st muscle car era died in '72. I wanted a 440 or hemi "Cuda back then but couldn't afford it. Now they go for 6 figures. Buy em while you got em. This looks like the possible ending of the 2nd muscle car era if the tree huggers get their way.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

I'd put the OG Taurus SHO on this list. Ford kind of stopped everyone in their tracks on that one, and it was faster than anything in its class for several years. I owned a post facelift 1st gen (maybe they are considered a 2nd Gen car, dunno) with a 5 speed manual, what a great car. Wish I still had it.

I rented one in Pheonix a couple of months ago, they nailed the drivers position layout etc., super comfortable and fun car to drive.
Let my little Sis and her husband drive it and they both said the same thing.

Someday that will be in the top collector cars, the epitome of the front engine Vettes.
