All muscle cars are inherently valuable. They reflect a time long ago when sheer performance mattered more than cupholders and reputations were created and destroyed on the drag strip and at streetlights across the nation. There are a few muscle cars that either through reputation, rariety, or popularity have reached values unheard of just a few years ago. This is the list of the most valuable muscle cars. Note that these values apply to the general model. The value of an individual vehicle may be substantially greater or lower than these prices. All prices are from the October 2005 issue of Muscle Car Review and are for vehicles in excellent condition.
