The editor of Kelley Blue Book’s “Early Model Values Guide”, Phil Skinner drew up a list of ten 1970s muscle cars for the LA Times that a) are still financially viable, and b) have the potential of increasing in value in the near future.
However, since we have our objections in concern of the fact that some cars in the list like the Datsun 240Z and especially the Chevrolet Vega Cosworth do not fall in the muscle car category, we’ll simply call the list “10 Attainable 1970’s Sports Cars”. Check them out along with their Kelley Blue Books estimated price after the jump. -Continued
