So, the classic car market kind of stalled out in 2023. Who knows what'll happen this year, right? But one thing's for sure – if you're into those sweet vintage rides, Hagerty's got a list of cars they think might just make you some cash in 2024.

Hagerty basically says, "Look, it's gotta be fun first, but finding a classic that's also a good investment... now that's satisfying."

Wanna see their top picks? They've got everything from iconic supercars to quirky oddities! Here's the list, plus a little something extra about each ride:

  • 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary ($435,000): C'mon, it's a Lamborghini! That wild look, the screaming V12...you'll definitely turn heads in this thing.

2024 Classic Car Investment

  • 1946-1950 Chrysler Town & Country ($52,500): This beauty has wood paneling! It's like rolling around in a vintage work of art.

2024 Classic Car Investment

  • 2008-2013 BMW M3 ($40,600): The engine on this thing is insane, pure driving pleasure. Just make sure whoever owned it before took good care of it.

2024 Classic Car Investment

  • 1997-1999 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution ($35,000): Way cooler than your standard SUV, but since it's rare, parts can be tricky to find.

2024 Classic Car Investment

  • 2011-2016 Ferrari FF ($125,000): Not the prettiest Ferrari out there, but hey, it's got a trunk and all-wheel drive! Most practical Ferrari ever.

2024 Classic Car Investment

  • 2000-2005 Jaguar XKR ($16,100): That supercharged V8 purrs. Plus, the styling's gorgeous. And get this, you can find one for the price of a used Camry! (But upkeep is a whole other story…)

2024 Classic Car Investment

  • 1965-1970 Chevrolet Impala SS ($22,200): The beloved American muscle car. Big, bold, and parts are easy to come by.

2024 Classic Car Investment

  • 1981-1986 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler ($31,700): This is a beast, resembling a giant Tonka truck. Plus, off-road collectors are very much in love with it.

2024 Classic Car Investment

  • 1964-1966 Ford Thunderbird ($27,400): Not a race winner, but it'll make you feel like a movie star cruising in this floaty, stylish classic.

2024 Classic Car Investment

  • 1997-2002 Plymouth Prowler ($29,200): It's definitely weird, but that's kind of the point. Plus, you can snag one without breaking the bank.
