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.
According to the Hagerty Vehicle Ratings, not only are these four American classics still relatively cheap, but are currently appreciating in value. With increasing interest in these cars, they may never be any more affordable than they are right now.
1979-1993 Ford Mustang
Average Condition #3 (Good) – 3 Yr Average Value: $4,350
Known as the “Fox Body Mustang” because it was built on Ford’s “Fox” platform, the 1979-93 models were probably the most plain-looking Mustangs ever. 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.
