These Cars Are Set to Become Timeless Models With High Price Tags
Not every car is just another car. Some are set to be worth way more than they are now. We’ve rounded up 35 cars already tipped to climb in value and become rising legends. Keep reading to spot your next classic before everyone else does.
Lexus LC
The Lexus LC looks like one of those cars that belongs in a museum already. It’s got a big V8 and styling that just doesn’t age. People don’t talk about it as much as they should, which makes it even more likely to become a collectible.
Mercedes-Benz AMG SL63 Golden Coast
The SL name already has history. Now, the 2025 AMG SL63 keeps that name alive and well. It’s fast and stylish, and comes as a convertible. The Golden Coast edition adds a bit of exclusivity that’ll have collectors fighting over these rare versions.
Toyota GR Corolla
The GR Corolla is no ordinary hatchback. Toyota threw rally DNA into it and gave it crazy power for its size. It’s also hard to find, and dealers can’t keep them in stock. Scarcity plus performance? That’s a future classic waiting to happen.
Toyota GR Yaris
The GR Yaris takes us back to a time when carmakers built cars just to win races. It’s small, quick, and tough - what more could you want? It’s also not everywhere, so you’ll stand out driving one. Rally fans already love it, which means collectors will too.
Nissan GT-R R35
The R35 GT-R has been around for a while. But Nissan keeps making little changes here and there to improve performance, but that’ll soon come to an end. That makes it a last-of-its-kind supercar. Buy it now, because in 10 years it’ll be called a bargain classic.
Chevrolet Corvette C8
Chevy’s C8 Corvette flipped the script on what sports cars should be. It had a mid-engine and sporty looks, and was still more affordable than its European rivals. The C8 is the “first of its kind,” and we all know how much collectors love firsts.
Aston Martin Vantage AMR
The Aston Martin Vantage is already rare. Only 200 exist in the world. It comes with a manual gearbox, which is basically a dying art. Collectors just love limited productions and old-school driving experiences. Its future value is pretty much guaranteed.
Audi RS6 Avant
Audi’s RS6 Avant is the king of fast wagons. It’s practical and crazy fast, which makes it irresistible to collectors. Audi doesn’t sell many of these wagons in the U.S., so every one of these will be hunted by collectors later.
Bentley Mulsanne 6.75 Edition
Bentley ended its legendary 6.75-liter V8 Mulsanne with this special edition. Only 30 were built. That’s absolute gold for collectors already. Owning one means owning a piece of Bentley history, and who doesn’t want the bragging rights on that?
Ferrari Daytona SP3
Ferrari built the Daytona SP3 for pure drama. It’s part of their ultra-limited Icona series, and they all sold out instantly. Who wouldn’t want a roaring V12 and sleek curves, right? When you can’t even buy one new, you just know those values will rise later.
Aston Martin Vanquish
The third-gen Vanquish keeps Aston Martin’s reputation alive. It’s a rare beast with fewer than 1,000 built every year. Collectors will want it for the same reason Bond fans always wanted an Aston - for its style, power, and exclusivity.
Maserati MCPura
Maserati’s MC20 already turned heads. The 2025 MCPura, however, brings a bit of refinement and rare styling to a car that’s already legendary. It’s exotic, fast, and feels like an old-school Maserati. Oh, and let’s not forget the limited production numbers.
McLaren Elva
McLaren skipped the windshield and built a roofless supercar. The Elva is wild, loud, and super rare. It’s part of McLaren’s Ultimate Series, and they didn’t make many. These extreme, quirky cars are set to be prized toys for collectors.
Morgan Plus Four (U. S. Version)
The U.S. version of the Morgan Plus Four has an ash wood frame, retro styling, and is one of only 325 available. Yes, it looks like a car from the ‘50s, but it’s brand new and hot property. Quirky, rare, and handmade? Folks, we’ve got a collectible on our hands!
Ford Bronco Stroppe Special Edition
The Bronco is already popular. And now the Stroppe Special Edition takes it back to its racing days. Limited editions like this always end up being the most valuable. It’s rugged and cool, and has those retro vibes that’ll make it hot property.
Acura TLX Type S
In a world where sporty sedans are disappearing, the TLX Type S stands. Sure, it doesn’t scream “collector's car” at first, but that’s the point. Its limited supply plus a strong V6 engine make it stand out. You’ll wish you got one in a few years.
BMW Z4 M40i
BMW brought back a manual gearbox for the 2025 version of the Z4. That alone makes it special. Manuals are dying out, so collectors grab them fast. The Z4 is already a fun little roadster, and this version will be remembered as one of the last great driver’s cars.
BMW M3
The M cars are absolute legends. But, sadly, manuals are becoming unicorns. The BMW M3 still offers that option, and that’s enough to make it a future classic. Fast, practical, and rare in manual form? It’s a no-brainer for collectors.
Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
Who doesn’t want a big V8 with a stick shift? Cadillac won’t make cars like the CT5-V Blackwing forever, which means it’ll age like a fine wine. It’s American muscle in a luxury sedan body, and collectors will love it in a few years.
Dodge Demon 170
The Dodge Demon 170’s name says it all. It’s a demon with over 1,000 horsepower. Dodge isn’t building more, so it’s already rare. It’s one of the wildest muscle cars ever, and is a grand finale of American drag-strip legends.
Lamborghini Huracan Serrato
A Lambo built to go off-road? Yes, please! The Sterrato is wild, rare, and fun, which is exactly the combination collectors love the most. V10 power and rugged style make it stand out from every other Lambo. In 20 years, it’ll be a car everyone wants.
Jeep Wrangler 392
Jeep decided to shove a V8 engine into a Wrangler. The result? The Wrangler 392, which is loud, fast, and crazy in the best way. Today, the 392 stands out from the rest. And that’s exactly what’s going to make it a collector classic.
Lexus LC500
The Lexus LC500 is a V8 masterpiece. It’s rare, super stylish, and just sounds incredible. Lexus doesn’t usually make cars like this, and that’s why it stands out. In a couple of years, people will look back and wonder why they didn’t buy one now.
Toyota Supra
Toyota brought the manual back to the Supra. And, just as we expected, it instantly made the car more desirable. Collectors will chase these versions and not the automatics. A turbo six with a stick shift is always going to be a winner.
Honda Civic Type R
The Type R has always been popular. And Honda’s latest version of this hatch is the best yet. It’s got sharp handling, a big wing, and can be used daily. The Civic badge makes it approachable, but real fans know it’s something special.
Audi RS3
The Audi RS3 packs a 5-cylinder engine that’s got a pretty unique growl. That alone makes it collectible. Who doesn’t love Quattro grip to keep you glued to the road? Audi doesn’t make many of these, so it’s bound to become a classic.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
A Hellcat engine in an SUV? Sign us up, please! Yes, it’s completely impractical, but that’s what makes it so fun. Jeep isn’t likely to keep making these 700-horsepower cars, so this one will stand out as a crazy experiment collectors will love.
Ford Mustang Dark Horse
The Dark Horse is the most collectible Mustang in years. It’s got that track-ready performance Mustang fans love, and limited production numbers. It just screams “collector's car.” It’s the kind of Mustang people will regret not buying when they had the chance.
Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing
The CT4-V version of the Blackwing is smaller than the CT5, but just as much fun. It also has rarity on its side, especially in manual form. In a few years from now, it’s going to be worth so much more than it is today.
Maserati MCPura Cielo
The open-top version of Maserati’s MCPura Cielo is turning heads. Fast forward a few years, and it’s going to be the ultimate collector's item. Why? Because it has limited numbers, incredible speed, and sexy style. It’s perfect for the collector who wants something different.
Audi TT RS Mk3
Audi’s TT RS is already a collector's item. Add in limited numbers and a 5-cylinder engine, and it’s simply unforgettable. That sporty handling is already making it a compact car with cult status. We can only imagine how valuable it will be later.
Honda S660
The Honda S660 is only sold in Japan, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a hot collector's item in a few years. It’s proof that small cars can still be fun. Sure, it’s a simple car, but people around the world are now importing them where they can. Classic car? Absolutely.
Pinnafarina B95
The B95 looks like something from the future, but you can actually buy it if you’re one of the lucky 150 people to get their hands on one. It has nearly 1,900 horsepower and no windshield. It’s rare, fast, and looks more like rolling art.
Gordon Murray GMSV S1 LM
This car is Gordon Murray doing what he does best. And that’s building a car that feels like a Formula 1 beast for the road. It’s got that legendary center seat layout. Only five exist, so this is a lottery-winning rarity that’s going to be worth millions.
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Chevy went wild with the Corvette ZR1. Over 1,000 horsepower in a Corvette is something nobody thought possible a few years ago. Now, it’s going to be the car that people talk about and need to add to their collection.
