There was a time (not that any of us<\/em> can remember that far back, of course) when you could\u2019ve picked up a fixer-upper muscle car for a triple-figure price \u2014 $425, maybe.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>
Possibly the BEST ’71 Hemi ‘Cuda that the factory ever produced!<\/p><\/div>\n
Kicking yourself for letting go of that old Mustang of yours now? We know the feeling.<\/p>\n
Fact is, muscle cars are turning out to be a terrific investment. And even if the current prices sound a little breathtaking, the trend is still pointing upward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re seeing a general rise in auction and listing prices of classic muscle cars as market interest in these models picks up,\u201d TCS\u2019s editor in chief, Karl Brauer, tells the New York Daily News<\/a>. \u201cRare older models, in original or properly restored condition, are increasing in value even as the general economy continues to struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not all of TCS\u2019s top muscle car picks are valued quite that high, of course. Half could be had for less than $100,000, and the No. 10 car \u2014 the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 \u2014 weighs in at $35,000, less than many well-equipped newer (yet decidedly less stylish) rides.<\/p>\n
In a few years, though, that Olds could be worth a trunkful more.<\/p>\n
So forget all those lectures your parents gave you about blowing money on chrome and carbs. Buying classic cars might just be more sensible than stowing away stocks at this point.<\/p>\n
