1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Ram Air IV

This model has long been thought to be the most legendary one on the Pontiac lineup. In 1967, the Trans Am was introduced and went on to be a popular car until the automaker ceased its production in 2002. Over the four decades of its production, our favorite model has to be the 1970 Ram Air IV. Even though more modest models had a V6 engine, this one boasted a 400 cubic-inch V8 one. Pontiac only ever sold 88 models of it. The rarity of this model is the reason that it now costs anywhere from $150,000 to $200,000 when its original price was only $4,906.

1969 Boss 429 Mustang

In 1969 and 1970, the Boss 429 Mustang was offered as an upgraded Mustang model. It is now one of the most desired and most expensive models from the automaker. It was designed as a race car that would dethrone the 426 Hemi engine from Chrysler. After a lot of deliberation, Ford reached the decision that the Mustang was going to come with a new yet similar engine. They only made 1,359 units of this model! When it was introduced to the market, ads claimed that it had 375 horsepower. However, people now wonder about the veracity of that statement. Back then, insurance costs were on the rise, so Ford allegedly understated this to avoid scaring off customers with its power. In those days, it was available at the price of $4,798. If you want one, we hope you have $180,000 on you.
