Hagerty annual "Bull Market" list of classic cars

1969-1974 Ferrari 246 Dino. The car is named after Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari. The car departed from 1960s Ferrari orthodoxy with a transverse V-6 behind the driver. It was built as a tribute to Dino who, before his death in 1956, championed V-6 engines at Ferrari. 3,761 were built with hard-top GT and targa-roofed GTS body styles. The $365k average price may sound like a lot of money, but that is peanuts in Ferrari world.

1979-1985 Mazda RX-7. The first-generation FB Mazda RX-7 launched with a 1.1-liter 12A rotary engine producing 100 hp, revving to 7,000 rpm. For its final two years, the RX-7 got the fuel-injected 1.3-liter 13B engine, boosting output to 135 hp. Large production volumes (more than 377k were sold in the U.S.) mean it's still possible to pick up a good one for $17k according to Hagerty.

1963-1967 Mercedes-Benz 230SL. The W113-generation 230SL had a 2.3-liter inline-6 producing 170 hp, but the signature "Pagoda" roof made it stand out. Mercedes built nearly 50,000 Pagoda SLs from 1963 to 1971, including later 250SL and 280SL models with more powerful engines. Its the earlier 230SL that has the best value, according to Hagerty, with an average price of $80k for an example in excellent condition.

1930 Cadillac Series 452 V-16 Roadster

Cadillac astonished the world's automotive elite when it introduced a spectacular new ultra-luxury car, powered by a 16-cylinder engine, at the 1930 New York Auto Show. This new super-sized Cadillac would set new benchmarks for smooth, silent and superbly impressive performance.

The heart of the Cadillac V-16 was its magnificent engine. Displacing a total of 452 cubic inches on all its sixteen cylinders, it featured overhead valves, and produced up to 185 horsepower. The car featured a three-speed selective synchromesh manual transmission, solid front axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs and hydraulic dampers, three-quarter floating rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs, and four-wheel vacuum-assisted mechanical drum brakes.

Although the V-16 was brilliantly designed, its shrinking Depression Era market meant that the V-16 was produced in tiny numbers. It is believed that there are less than ten, authentic 1930-31 V-16 Roadsters in existence today. An extremely significant and completely proper 1930 Cadillac V-16 Roadster made $ 1.1m at Bonhams in 2019.

An example made $1.1m at Sothebys in 2017.

1954 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible - $99k

Equipped with Cadillac’s state-of-the-art 331-ci V8, the Eldorado was offered only one way — fully loaded. The original Eldorado convertible was the “it” car, the one to have, the one to be seen in and the one that rose above all the others. Many marque enthusiasts and collectors regard the 1954 Cadillac Eldorado convertible as one of the most beautiful Cadillac models ever produced.

This award winner made $99k at Mecum.

1970 Pontiac GTO Judge -$86k

Frame off restoration. Y96 handling package. 400 CI L74 Ram Air 3 V-8 engine. M20 4-speed manual transmission. 67,196 miles. WT1- The Judge Ram Air package. Of the 40,149, GTOs built in 1970, just 3,797 were ordered with the Judge trim level. The Ram Air III engine was standard on the judge although the Ram Air IV and a 7.5l big block was also available.

The Ram Air III was conservately rated at 366 hp and 445 pound-feet of torque. 400 bhp would be a much better guess. Suspension was independent up front with a solid axle at the rear. New for 1970 was anti-roll bars at both ends to minimize the car’s tendency to roll through corners. The car's 58/42 weight distribution was still prone to understeer.

When new, the GTO had a base MSRP of about $23,500. Hagerty values a top tier 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge around $120k.

1992 Ferrari F40 - $2.7m

No. 19 of 22 produced in the final year of F40 production. When production ended in 1992, 1,315 were built in all. 8,732 miles, 14,053 km. Iconic Rosso Corsa over Red Gray interior. 2,936 CC DOHC V-8 engine. Twin IHI turbochargers with Behr Intercoolers. Weber-Marelli electronic fuel injection. 478 HP at 7,000 RPM. 5-speed manual transmission. Ventilated 4-wheel disc brakes.

Ferrari’s landmark 40th anniversary in 1987 resulted in the F40. The F40 was a thinly disguised racer for the road and remains an unqualified tour de force. It will forever be the last new automobile commissioned by company founder Enzo Ferrari. Power is delivered by a twin-turbocharged, 4-cam, port-injected 3.0L (2963cc) V-8 engine utilizing IHI turbochargers and Behr intercoolers.

Controlled by a Weber-Marelli fuel-injection and engine-management system, it resulted in a factory-rated 478 HP at 7,000 RPM through a 5-speed rear transaxle.

0-60 MPH time is 3.9 seconds, 0-100 MPH in 7.8 seconds, and 0-140 MPH in 14 seconds. For the truly brave, 201 MPH is flat out. The F40 made automotive history as the first series-production supercar capable of cracking the mark. The car was up for grabs at Mecum and exceeded expectations. Hagerty suggests a concours 1992 Ferrari F40 is trending around $ 1.6m.
