If you want to get a car enthusiast motor running talk to them about good ole American muscle cars! These are the mean street kings from several generations that rattle the windows and hearts of many red blooded Americans. Below you will find five of the top ten muscle cars as rated by Barrett and Jackson.
1. Yenko- When is a Camaro worth nearly $300,000? When it is the lone survivor of only three such cars ever made. The 1969 Yenko Camaro was personally sold by the creator Don Yenko for NHRA drag racing. This car is Daytona yellow, sports a Hurst shifter, and has all the documentation to prove its lineage.
2. Shelby- No sadly it is not Eleanor on the top ten list, but a close relative. The 1966 Shelby GT350 with the original 306-horse power V-8 under the hood has been restored to nearly perfect condition, right down to the original rims and is in the Shelby American World Registry. At $220,000 you will have to dig deep to own this car.
3. Corvette- Would you believe that a car with a scrap title is worth over a quarter of a million dollars? It is when it is the Corvette owned by engineering executive Don Runkle and is the only ZR-1 modified as a convertible. This is a 1989 Chevy Corvette.
4. Cobra- It is not only the older titles that made the top ten list, so did the 2009 Cobra Jet Production Ford Mustang FR500CJ. True to the tradition of the Cobra only 50 of these cars were made for the drag strip. It comes in a three speed automatic or a six-speed manual with a 5.4 Cobra Jet engine. Can you say vroom and $375,000?
5. Ford- In 1955 Ford rolled out their very first Thunderbird, and this rare car has come home to roost in mint condition. This car was restored to original specifications including the original 292 Y block engine. Ford has verified that this is indeed the first 1955 Thunderbird production car, and you could have bought her for $660,000!
Muscle cars are a thing to behold, especially for the automobile buff. The next time you are looking at a dilapidated old muscle car you might want to consider fixing her up, you never know what it might be worth some day if you find one of those extremely rare diamonds in the rough.
