- 1997 Toyota Supra Turbo: $135,000
- 1971 DeTomaso Pantera: $109,000
There are more. I recall a Toyota MR2 going for $62,000. I bought mine for $9,000. Nowhere near the pristine condition of the one that sold for $62k, but dayum. |
I’ve been watching BaT, Mecum, Hemmings , EBay Motors and ClassicCars.com. Values of classic cars have gone up 15-30% over the past year.
Use Classic.com to see what has sold, or been listed for sale, in the past five years.
Uses “Hagerty Value Tool” and NADAguide.com to get valuations based on condition range.
I had intended to buy a classic muscle car again within the next three years. I decided to move that up before I got completely priced out of the market and ended up buying this 1970 Trans Am RAIII 4-speed optioned with the performance 12-bolt axle and M21 trans. Number’s matching engine, trans and axle!
I’ve been into gen2 Trans Ams since I was 13 and did a complete subframe off, nut and bolt, restoration on a 76 Bandit (Y82) 455, 4-speed in the 90s (some photos are in my profile).
I know gen2 TAs well and am thrilled to be back with one from the muscle peak of 1970.
should be here next week.
