Here's Ten More Future Classics Under $20k That Could Make You Money-October 2024

A few weeks ago, , and you replied with . Having said that, here's 10 more cars that could make you some real cash:

10. Dodge Viper

The 1st generation Dodge Viper is the epitome of an iconic car, even if is . It has no windows, no roof, the engine from a truck, an exhaust that burns your leg, and Power Wheels build quality. It's absolutely perfect.

(Suggested by , )

9. Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Much to Jonathan Ward's chagrin, the FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser is an appreciating asset, with freshly restored, low mileage examples going for north of $100,000. . Even though the picture was taken in the rain, the car doesn't appear to have any major rust, so get it while the gettin's good.

8. Alfa Romeo Series 1

It's a . 'Nuff Said.

7. Acura Integra Type R

Here's the only front wheel drive Honda product that will likely ever appreciate. Its low production numbers, loud colors, and stellar naturally aspirated performance make it quite the catch, if you can catch a tastefully molested example in your local neighborhood (spoiler alert: You can't). , as other examples are going for upwards of $35,000. That's right -it's the same price as the NSX.

Limited production, an unmolested Type-R is quite rare and it's probably the best handling FWD car ever made. "The value of life can be measured by how many times your soul has been deeply stirred" -

6. C4 Corvette ZR1

It's a rare Corvette designed in the early 80s, with a very un-American dual overhead cam V8, with 32 valves, designed by Lotus. It had nearly twice the power output as the regular C4 Vette, and it was almost twice as much as the base model when new. . An awesome addition to any starter collection.

5. Pontiac Trans Am Turbo

Here's an 80's Pontiac that will actually gain in value, rather than gain rust. . One of my neighbors has one and all he does is burnouts with a huge smile on his face. That could be you.

4. Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

This car is what happens when . They tried this once and never went back to this configuration, and that's why this one's a keeper.

Its the 2000s edition of the supra.. 1000hp stock bottom end... feed the blower with turbos or give her a bigger blower... and a new rear end... but i'd get one as un molested as possible. "terminator"

3. Audi RS6

If you thought the Audi A6 Allroad's engine bay was cramped, this is what happens when you stick larger turbos and 2 more cylinders under the hood. . They're not making any more of them and they age quite nicely, save for the occasional 5-figure repair bill.

2. Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4/Dodge Stealth RT/TT

This car (or cars) is a bit of a bargain, and I mean bargain. You can find pristine examples going for well under $10,000, like . You get 320 horsepower, 6 speeds, all wheel drive, and all the smiles that Mitsubishi allowed you to have in a car in the 90s. These Japanese muscle cars are due for a comeback in a big way.

1. Buick Grand National

It's Big. It's Black. It's Turbocharged. And it'll twist its own frame. .

is the founder of and writes about on the internet. He owns the world's cheapest , a , and he's the only Jalopnik author that has never driven a Miata. He also has a real name that he didn't feel was journalist-y enough so he used a pen name and this was the best he could do.

There's a difference between being cheap and treasuring value per dollar spent. One is knowing…

Like so many of us, Tyson Hugie dreamed of one day owning a very specific car collection. Classic 4x4s? European sports cars? Nah, man—early 90’s Acuras. It doesn’t sound too intrinsically exciting, but looking at this fleet. I think he might actually be on to something here. Hugie reached out...
