1963 Corvette Stingray
A second-generation Stingray, the 1963 Corvette Stingray is one of the earliest C2 models. That year, the Corvette underwent a distinct style change because Zora Arkus-Duntoy took over the design efforts of the automaker. In an effort to make the design as aerodynamic as it could be, the team used a wind tunnel on the Caltech campus with the use of scale models. The debut of the C2 marked the first time that Chevy dropped the top on the Corvette. Among the 21,513 units made, half of them had been convertibles. All the 1963 Corvette Stingray units came with 327 cubic-inch engines that could come with 300, 340, and 360 horsepower. The popularity of the car went up with the release of a 1967 movie called Clambake. Back then, you could buy one for $4,037. This is a far cry from its current $100,000 value.

1968 Dodge Charger Hemi R/T
Dodge Charger fans were introduced to the sleek, new body style of the model in 1968. Among the options offered by the automaker, the best one was the Hemi R/T. It came with a Hemi engine that could put out 426 horsepower. The three R/Ts were the Dart GTS, Superbee, and the Coronet. All of them came with a cartoon bumble brand that appeared in the marketing campaigns of the model. In 1968, it was used in a car chase in the film Bullitt. Its iconic big screen exposure only made it more famous and cemented its status as one of the greatest American muscle cars in existence. In 1968, Dodge only made 4,000 units of these cars and sold them for $4,110 each. It is now worth $150,000!
