Yahoo Autos 10 cars (and one bike) Hagerty expects to gain value in 2023
Hagerty released its annual Bull Market list Wednesday, calling out a mix of 10 cars and one motorcycle the classic insurance giant expects to gain value in 2023. This year's list has a pretty generous spread of American and imported vehicles, from a Lamborghini that could fetch upwards of $380,000 all the way down to a relatively humble Suzuki with a stimulating name.
If you feel like you've missed the boat on a collector car, there may be an alternative on this list that you can still pick up cheap — or at least before it becomes any more expensive. The price ranges here are for vehicles in "excellent" condition, so don't be intimidated by apparent cost of entry. If you just want one to drive, you won't need to fork over quite this much. Without further ado, let's dive in.
1992–2006 AM General Hummer H1 ($105,000–$127,300)
This classic testosterone supplement is just road legal enough to be considered a car, but calling it an "SUV" feels like downplaying its capability. GM's Hummer brand helped revitalize interest in road-going versions of the AM General HMMWV, especially among Gen Xers, Hagerty says. The insurer says it's long overdue for a price climb.
1968–1970 AMC AMX ($30,500–$40,600)
It's quite a leap from AM General to AMC, but here we are. Do you buy that the AMX is ready to head to the moon? Hagerty calls it an underdog; we'd call it leftovers. As interesting as these are, there's a reason the classic craze of the late '90s and early 2000s largely overlooked this classic outsider. Put that way, maybe it's due after all ...
2008–2015 Audi R8 (Manual) ($154,000–$186,700)
The everyday supercar for a post-Acura-NSX world. Audi's Lamborghini-adjacent, quattro-equipped sports coupe turned a lot of heads in 2008, just as its successor continues to do today. It's still one of the most livable supercars and early manual models are borderline affordable. This one doesn't surprise us one bit.
2001–2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 ($31,400–$39,300)
While GM performance fans may tell you the Z06 was merely a product of engineering knowledge gathered from Corvette Racing's many successful national and international campaigns, there's more than a kernel of truth to the notion that the Z06 was an almost direct response to the success of the V10-powered Dodge Viper. The original Z06 has been the darling of track day enthusiasts for two decades now, but clean examples are starting to become collectible.
