6 Future Classics That We Need To Buy Now

Some cars are obvious classics when they're released, while others are harder to spot until a little further down the line. Here is a list of 6 possible future classics that you just might want to look into buying (before they become too expensive).

1. A Clean, Unmolested S2000

6 Future Classics That We Need To Buy Now

The S2000 is a true enthusiast car, and while they’re not necessarily cheap right now, they’re only becoming more sought after with time (especially unmodified ones). Their high-revving stock engines combined with 2-seater charm and sleek styling create the winning combination for a future classic that will only increase in value. If you’re lucky enough to own one that has it’s stock features, you may just be sitting on a future goldmine.

2. The R33 Skyline

The R33 is a bit of an awkward middle ground between the legendary Godzilla and the famed R34. This factor combined with the fact that the vehicle isn’t yet legal in the US means prices are still reasonable. When the R33 becomes ‘Murica-legal in several years, demand will surely spike, as will the price, so this is one to keep your eye on.

3. Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

It’s hard not to respect the combination of carnage and class that is the CTS-V. An even rarer version (the wagon) is something that is already highly desired by wagon fans, but in future years, it should only become more of a desired vehicle between performance enthusiasts and collectors alike. It features the same pavement-pounding engine as the C6 ZR1, and it’s definitely one for the books.

4. The C4 Corvette

The C4 is a bit of a hit and miss car, depending on the year and options. Granted you’re able to track one down with one of the better engine options along with a manual trans, you’ll be in for a good investment. The value of these is already beginning to rise. If you start shopping, be prepared to come across some Corvette enthusiasts who think they’re already sitting on a goldmine.

5. A Clean Quattro

The first gen TT was definitely a quirky car, and despite its questionably feminine styling and some early aero problems, it has an enthusiastic following. A clean, unmodified quattro version of the TT is a great platform that should only become more and more desirable, whether it has the 1.8T or the 3.2 V6.

6. The Older Z Cars

Who could resist a classic Nissan sports car? The popularity of the 240 has only lead to mass amounts of over-modified drift missiles, and the most logical way to go is back. The 260z and 280z both have good aftermarket support, and they’re prime candidates to keep stock or modify. If you can find one that hasn’t been rusted or destroyed, it’s probably worth picking up.

Depends on the trim. The GT-4 is crazy expensive for what it is, but I really doubt that the others will rise much, if any. I think that they will sadly fade away into obscurity like their 80’s predecessors. That said, cool car, bro!

I know its not necessarily a bargain buy, but what about an E90/1/2 M3?

E91 never came as M3. Only E90, E92 and E93.

I dont see the c4 ever being that collectable except for zr1 and special callaway corvettes. They are slow, didnt handle great and get completely outshined when the c5 came out. Although it did have more special editions that could be collectable.
