The 2025 Bull Market List: 11 collector cars to BUY and DRIVE this year

Last of the NA V8s. I'm so not looking forward to the ev future.

[@biafo4541]

Yeah agreed, all this talk about regulations forcing OEMS to turbocharge smaller engines or go full EV, and the Japanese are still giving us n/a V8s and n/a boxer engines. Have to give Porsche credit, yes they have many VWs and Audis with Porsche badges (and I understand they do that to keep the boat afloat) but you forgive these cars because you can still buy a n/a GT Porsche with a manual gearbox or at the very least still buy an almost new one. To buy a proper M car you have to go back more than 10 years.

[@brokensmilephoto]

The camera angles on the DeLorean and Ferrari 400/412 really make the cars look way better than they actually are. The rolling shots are absolutely bang on and could make you fall in love with them, only to have your heart broken when seeing them in person. The last of the Prelude's, more so in a SH trim are probably the best looking Honda's made of the modern era. They always looked like they should have been RWD. Like they were begging for the Vigor drivetrain and 5cylinder under the hood. I think that's what it was lacking honestly. It could have really put a dent in the S chassis Nissans.

Friend had the original 240Z. The one thing i vividly remember was that the trunk metal was so thin, the entire panel flexed in and out just by pressing in on that trunk latch. I’m sure it made it all light but it’s probably also why his rusted so quickly. Cool car when new though.

The view of the Volvo's fins from the mirrors is iconic. I came close to buying an 1800E in the late '90s, I intended to put an Oldsmobile 215 engine in it. Had the car in my driveway for a month, had the engine in my basement. Plans changed, we moved, sold the engine, gave the car back to the shop. Back in the day it was common to put Ford 289s into those 1800s, there was even a how to manual in print.

Usually there's a few cars on this list that I'd love to own but this year's list draws a blank for me. My wife does like the P1800 though.

[@Penguinracer]

I think '60's and earlier is on the decline and has seen its peak as Boomers cash out and the next generation are more interested in '90's to 00's cars. These later cars were the aspirational vehicles of Gen X's youth and are more compatible with modern traffic conditions. I think the aberration to the widely predicted generational shift are pre-WW 1 "Brass Era" cars which are now being viewed through the historic lens as being the first ICE cars as we enter long tail to ICE vehicle production with driver involvement levels having peaked.

In the past there have been some expensive cars such as Speciale or 997.2 GT3 4.0. Here there are none, so maybe that’s an indication they expect the market generally to be flat or decline further. Cars from the 60’s will under perform the market as the demographics who want that car pass away or stop driving. A manual Gallardo, especially one of the rarer variants may be wise bet or stand a good chance of not losing much.
