The previous owners of cars that are now coveted as targets for collectors today probably didn’t know that the occupier of the garage or carport would be treasured as a classic. The same may be true for you today. That family car that you rely on to shuttle you and your kids around could be tomorrow’s treasure for some collector. Well, there is someone who can tell you if your car will be desired. He is McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty, a leading insurance agency for collector vehicles, and a respected collector car valuation expert. He has created a list of his choices that he believes will be the top 10collector cars.
In compiling the list, Hagerty takes into consideration what he thinks are the reasons why cars become targets of collectors. They are:
- pop culture popularity
- limited production numbers
- style
And what cars of today will be in collectors’ garages or storage warehouses in the future? Here are Hagerty’s top 10:
- Acura NSX
- Audi TT
- Chrysler 300
- Dodge Viper
- Jaguar XK (pictured)
- Lotus Elise
- Mini Cooper
- Scion (any)
- Smart Car
- Toyota FJ Cruiser
Our take? Do you own one of the 10? Are images of dollar bills now floating before your eyes? Hagerty said that collectors don’t have to break the bank to get a hot and value-appreciated ride. All they have to do is wait. Are you willing to wait for as long as it takes?
