1963 Ferrari 250 GTO
The Ferrari 250 GTO is widely considered the most valuable and desirable car ever built. Designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and styled by Scaglietti, it was created to dominate FIA Group 3 Grand Touring racing. Its Tipo 168 Colombo V12 engine, combined with a lightweight tubular chassis and aerodynamic body, made it nearly unbeatable — it won the World Manufacturers' Championship three years running from 1962 to 1964.
1969 Dodge Charger R/T
The second-generation Dodge Charger is the quintessential American muscle car. Its "coke-bottle" body styling by Carl Cameron, with hidden headlamps and a full-width rear tail-light panel, gave it an aggressive, purpose-built appearance. The R/T (Road/Track) package came standard with the thunderous 440 Magnum V8, but the truly fearless could order the legendary 426 Hemi. Made forever famous by the film "Bullitt" and TV's "Dukes of Hazzard."
1961 Jaguar E-Type
When the E-Type debuted at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, it caused an immediate sensation. Its flowing lines drew directly from the Le Mans-winning D-Type race car, while the XK inline-six engine with triple SU carburetors delivered genuine 150 mph performance. At roughly a third the price of a comparable Ferrari, the E-Type brought exotic grand touring within reach of a far wider audience and proved that beauty and value could coexist.
1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL
The 300SL "Gullwing" was the world's fastest production car when it debuted. Born from Mercedes' dominant W194 sports racing car, its iconic upward-opening doors were a necessity — the car's innovative tubular space frame chassis had such high sills that conventional doors were impossible. Beneath the hood sat the first production car engine with mechanical direct fuel injection, a technology decades ahead of its time.
1967 Shelby GT500
Carroll Shelby took the already muscular Ford Mustang and dialed everything to eleven. The GT500 was the most powerful road-going Mustang of its era, stuffed with a 428 cubic-inch Police Interceptor V8 paired with two four-barrel Holley carburetors. With upgraded suspension, wider tires, and that iconic Le Mans racing stripe, the GT500 bridged the gap between street car and race car like nothing else on the market.
1970 Plymouth Barracuda
The third-generation Barracuda — redesigned on Chrysler's new E-body platform — was Plymouth's ultimate weapon in the muscle car wars. Shorter, wider, and far more aggressive than its predecessors, it could be ordered with the fearsome 426 Hemi, producing 425 horsepower. The Hemi 'Cuda, with its shaker hood scoop and bold "billboard" graphics, is now one of the most sought-after muscle cars in the world, with pristine examples fetching millions at auction.
