1970 Buick GSX
Did you know that 1970 was a landmark year for American muscle cars? Thanks to the strong economy, a lot of high-quality models were released that year. This automaker contributed to the list by souping up its Skylark and turning it into the Buick GSX. It was only available in two colors: Apollo White and Saturn Yellow. The car is best known for all the extra options offered by the company, which is why collectors love this particular model. It is also attractive thanks to its incredible performance. It can put out 500 lbs-ft of torque, which is the highest output available in American muscle cars for three decades. The Buick GSX was only dethroned with the arrival of the V10 Dodge Viper in 2003. When it first came out, this model had an original price of $4,880. At the moment, it is worth $185,000.

1970 Plymouth Superbird Hemi
When the Plymouth Superbird hit the market in 1970, it was considered to be a souped-up Plymouth Roadrunner. This model stands out with its very big front end and huge aerodynamic spoiler. It was built with racing in mind and inspired by Dodge, its sister company. It came with a top-of-the-line 426 Hemi V8 engine that could put out 425 horsepower and then 490 lbs of torque. The company only made a bit more than 2,000 Superbirds in its first production year. Only a few of these came with the Hemi engine, which is why those are now worth $150,000 to $200,000 even though it was originally worth $4,298.
