6 Future Classics That We Need To Buy Now
1. A Clean, Unmolested S2000
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.

Aztec design was ahead of its time…. Much better than the Buick Rendez Vous that polluted our roads! Yuck!!!
TBH I think it’s a bit obvious
How about this? The Proton Saga Iswara, also known as the MPi in the U.K.
Sure, it may be “horrible”, but let’s not forget how bulletproof these things are, because it’s essentially a Mitsubishi.
If you listen closely you can hear all the butthurt, angry GTR fanboys raging.
If I could get my hands on a CTSV wagon…I would start using Wallace less.
Without a doubt… The GT350 and the GT350R
What abiut evo x?
Ford Mondeo ST200. They only made around 4600 of these, and that’s all colours (blue, black, silver, red, white) and body styles (saloon, hatchback, stw) combined. At least a thousand have been crashed, scrapped or broken up for parts.
This is also Ford’s first proper ST-badged model ever. Going for crazy cheap prizes atm, but will be worth a fortune in the future.
Both these cars however the rx7 I’d also add the fc and fb as future classics
Pretty obvious though
I’m putting this in not because I’m biased (because I am) but because I’ve only seen 4 of them (not including my own) and it’s so quirky and interestingly styled.
