With the classic car market’s growth over the past several years, many people feel they are being priced out of the market for the classic American car of their dreams. That’s the bad news. The good news is there are still bargains to be found.

1979-1993 Ford Mustang

Average Condition #3 (Good) – 3 Yr Average Value: $4,350

Other than the 5.0 badges indicating the available V-8, these cars flew under-the-radar. Even the newest Fox Body Mustangs will soon be turning 25, and they’re beginning to reach classic car status. If you’re shopping for a collector car, these Mustangs might be worth a look.
