What makes a car a classic? A classic doesn't have to be something that's built in limited numbers and housed in a millionaire's private collection. A true classic car is one that was popular when it was in production and remains desirable many decades after the last examples left the factory. Some states say that to be classified as a classic a car has to be at least 20 years old, but folks at the Antique Automobile Club of America will tell you that it needs to be at least 50 years old to qualify for that status, while the Classic Car Club of America only use the term for cars produced between 1925 and 1948.
Ford Mustang
Choosing the best classic cars can come down to opinions rather than facts. If you're a Ford guy, you'll choose a Mustang. Chevy drivers will opt for a Camaro from the cars earliest production runs and call that the best classic on the market. The truth is that there's no way of deciding which car is the best but we can bring you a list of cars that enthusiasts love the most. A recent survey of internet searches on classic cars showed that enthusiasts from 10 states are most interested in the Mustang. The 1969 Mustang pulled the most searches over a 12 month period for three states, Montana, New Mexico, and Wisconsin.
Corvette
Car fans from five states searched online for the Corvette more than any other model, but only four different model years made the list. The 1963 model was the top car in Alaska and Rhode Island. The second generation Vette was smaller and sleeker than the first model. It was also the first model to use the "Sting Ray" name. If you bought a well preserved Sting Ray today, you should still be able to harness most of the 360hp its motor develops.
Chevy Impala
The fourth generation Chevy Impala is another classic that's popular today. It was the number one searched for classic for car devotees in Tennessee and Kentucky. Although each state opted for a different year's model, each favored the fourth generation vehicle that set a new sale record when one million examples were sold in 1965. For that reason, 65 Impala is the one to go for, although the redesigned 1967 model is also very popular with classic car owners.
Pontiac Firebird
Three states chose the Pontiac Firebird, with the 1977 model proving the most popular among classic car fans. That's the most with the slant-nose facelift that changed the look of the car dramatically. The Firebird's four square headlamps and angular nose make it look fast even when parked in a garage. In all, only 155,735 Pontiac Firebirds were produced in 1977 so expect to pay a lot of money if you want one for yourself.
Dodge Charger
The 1969 Dodge Charger was the most searched for classic in 13 states. Unbelievably, no other Charger and no other Dodge made the list which shows just how iconic the late 60s Dodge is. The 1969 model of the second generation Charger came with a few modifications including a new grille with a center divider and new longitudinal taillights. Two engines were available that year — a two-barrel that developed 290hp, and a four-barrel with 330hp. The four-barrel was unique to the Charger in 1969 so that?s the model to go for if you're going to buy a 1969 Charger.
