1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
The Chevy Camaro is the first thing that people think of when they talk about muscle cars. It was a second-generation Camaro that inspired the body styles of the fifth-generation models from 2010 until 2015. This put the Camaro on the map when it comes to sales again. The Z/28 edition could pump out 340 horsepower and was the highest performance car in that year. While Chevy sold more than 100,000 units when it first came out, only 4,862 people shelled out $786.75 more for the Z/28 option. We bet that everyone else regretted not doing the same thing! With its V8 engine, the Z/28 tends to be worth 20 to 50% more than the base units. Originally worth $3,635, the Camaro can now fetch you $70,000.

1969 Pontiac GTO The Judge
“Here comes da judge!” Did you know that the Pontiac GTO The Judge got its name from a line in Laugh-In? It was a sign of disregard for authority, which was a great choice for this model. After all, it must be one of the baddest muscle cars that the United States has ever seen. This option is only $332 pricier than the base model, so it would have been a great idea to invest in “the Judge.” At the time of its release, a lot of people loved it for its wide tires, T-shaped shifter, and aggressive appearance. It is a true rebel, which is proven further by the fact that it was initially offered only in red. When it became even more popular, Pontiac started to offer it in more colors. Its original tag price was $3,940, but its value has since gone up to $80,000.
