Another way to look at cars of this type is based on ...

Horsepower, Handling and Heritage (all relative to the car's era)

Many fine examples are listed above that fit this category quite well. If you have a car with all three of these attributes nicely fulfilled, chances are it's fun to drive and may become desirable someday, especially if production was somewhat limited.

Over the past 15 years or so, Horsepower has gone back up and Handling has vastly improved since the 1960's. The last attribute, Heritage can be greatly enhanced by a long or illustrious racing history for the particular marque.

Last thought ... car's don't necessarily need to be rare to still be desirable. Case in point (and these go way past the last 10 years), the Model T, Model A, early Mustangs ... millions made, a lot still around relatively speaking, and some examples are very desirable, depending of course on options and condition.
