only cars going to be worth something are the special edition and the custom cars made by great builders, like chip foose,troy trepanier
It could be either domestic or import. I know a lot of the imports are not at these auctions because imports didn't have an impact in the '50s and '60s here in the U.S. They didn't start to take off til the '70s and they really didn't have anything that looked good except the 240Z. I also try to keep supercars out of it because we all know they will just go up in value off top.Originally posted by manhertm
That's a vague question. What kind of cars, American, imports? What price range are you talking about? Just about any supercar or will be worth a lot of money in the future? You gotta narrow it down man.
Agreed. All the cars that went for the mega-bucks were stock. That's going to cut down the Supra a lot because I haven't seen anyone keep it stock. Another thing that all of them had in common was DOCUMENTATION! I mean these dudes had documentation all the way back to when it was rolling off the assembly line! Took a picture when they first picked it up at the dealership, ANYmaintenance performed on the car no matter how small it was.Originally posted by Heist:
It's hard to pick cars that will be worth A LOT more. Generally speaking they had to have something very unique or desirable about them, or had been an engineering benchmark/feat for its time. They also have to be kept pretty stock, so if they're modded you'll pretty much diminish the value.
ACURA LEGEND COUPE

That said, I can tell you the sure shots in my book are:
- McLaren F1 (These cars continue to escalate in value)
- Veyron (Set all new kinds of engineer milestones)
- Ford Lightning (Pick-up truck with Mustang performance)
- '97 Porsche 911/993 (Last model year of the air-cooled engines for Porsche. Something they did for nearly 50 years)
- 93-97 Supra Twin Turbo (Still very much in demand and hard to find)
- 2008 Nissan GT-R (Already setting the performance car height to new levels)
- 1993-2001 Honda Civic / Acura Integra Type-R (these two cars basically set-off the import tuner craze here in the states)
- 2008 Corvette ZR-1 (We'll probably never get a stock Corvette with this much power again from the factory. It was a special project for Rick Wagoner that got green lighted)
- Chrysler 300C (Kept in clean condition, this may just be the '57 Chevy of our generation)
...No Enzo, believe it or not - Ferrari fans are still not feeling this car and it's not very much in demand.
