1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

In 1969, most people would not have shelled out $7,200 for this muscle car. Now that it is worth half a million bucks, we sure that they regret it! Aside from the value increase, its performance will also blow you away. It offers faster speeds and better handling than the Corvette L88 and the Camaro Yenko. These days, the Chevy Camaro ZL1 is thought to be the best model that the automaker ever built.

1969 Dodge Charger Hemi Daytona

When Dodge made the Hemi Daytona, it was built to do amazing things at the track. It was named after the inaugural NASCAR race: the Daytona 500. When it was first used at the track, Buddy Baker became the first person to break the 200 mph barrier on a Hemi Daytona. It is also popular for its 23-inch back wing. Did you know that it was also the first Dodge-Plymouth aero-car? It shares the title with the Plymouth Superboard. This car also appeared in a movie called Joe Dirt, and David Spade even wanted to get one as a gift to himself. Dodge only made 503 Hemi Daytonas, which explains why the actor was able to buy one at an auction for $900,000. The units normally go anywhere from $800,000 to $1,000,000. Its value has gone a long way since the time it was worth $5,903.
