8. Oldsmobile 442
The Oldsmobile 442 (pronounced four-four-two) name derives from the original car’s four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. The most popular version is the 1971 L69, which boasted 360 horsepower and could hit a quarter mile in just over 15 seconds as reported by Road Test magazine and 0 to 60 in 8.9 seconds using the TH400 automatic transmission. On today’s market, the L69 can fetch $85,000 at auction.
7. Chev Camaro
In terms of muscle cars, the Chevrolet Camaro didn’t exactly have a stellar run, although it has since been reworked and is now available for people who always wanted one back in the day.
Four distinct generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. The original, first generation Camaro was in production between the years 1967 and 1969. It was then revived on a concept car that became the fifth-generation Camero which started production in March of 2009.
If you can find one of the first generation models you can expect to spend over $90,000 to own it.
6. Plymouth Superbird 440
The Plymouth Superbird was… well… putting it bluntly, an odd-looking bird. It had a body style that was radically different from its sister vehicle, the Plymouth Road Runner. It was based on the Road Runner, but reworked to meet NASCAR requirements. Odd-looking as it was, it still delivered in terms of power in terms of a Magnum 440 V8 engine that delivered an amazing 375 horsepower. Over the past few years, the value of the Superbird has increased significantly, having sold for around $67,000 at auction in 2001 to $107,000 more recently.
