Are you as intrigued and captivated by vintage cars as we are? You've clicked on the right article and are in for a treat. We've prepared a list of some of the most popular vintage cars and their cost. We've kept a keen eye on the market for years and found the lineup of these cars from various manufacturers. 

Relish in envy at this beauty of automotive design and engineering. 

1. Mazda MX-5 Miata (1990-1998)

Among many automotive enthusiasts, the famous saying goes, the answer is always Miata. This roadster offers everyday reliability combined with its charming looks and a smile-inducing experience. This first-generation Mazda MX-5 is perhaps the purest expression of everything that is Italian and British roadsters of the '80s but without the breakdowns, leaks, and headaches. And, it is priced reasonably at $7500.

2. Ford F-Series (1948-1952)

Whether it is for problematic or for performative reasons, America is a lover of pickup trucks. It is estimated that a sixth of all new car purchases is a pickup truck. And, the Ford F-Series has maintained its pole position as the most favorite.  The Ford dealer in Humboldt TN can tell you better how much the truck has been in demand. The 1948-1952 models were the first of their kind and are now considered vintage classics. They can cost anywhere between $20,000 to $50,000 based on their condition.

This vintage is the dynasty's progenitor. It is a first generation of the F-Series that combines utility with ruggedness yet butchy realness to become what has become beloved to date. 

It is priced at $20,200. 

3. Porsche Boxster (1997-2004)

The brief for developing this machine looked somewhat like an engineer's entry-level yet affordable sports car, have it with just enough power but not too much of it- to avoid rivaling their other flagship sports car, the 911. Give the car a unique style and have the engine in the middle to offer the perfect handling capacities and more stability. The result was one of the most outstanding contemporary Porsche yet. 

For $10,800, this marvel of engineering could be yours. 

4. Pontiac Firebird (19993-2002)

Known best for its second generation, million-selling car—which, with the Bandit imprimatur, Burt Reynolds Smokey, and flaming chicken hood decals, was adored by a specific class of macho men—the Firebird gets an awful rep. This last (fourth) age of this vehicle brought genuine execution abilities and a compellingly elusive shape.

And, it is affordable, going at $13,400. 

5. Datsun 240Z (1970-1973)

The 240Z took all that the innovative Japanese company, Datsun, had found out about entering the American economy market and applied it to building this masterpiece of a sports car. Any professional car salesman selling classic cars will first tell you of its striking looks, highlights, and execution that equaled vehicles at a higher cost. The 240Z design is so incredible that, even after 50 years, Datsun (presently Nissan) has restored it for the most recent Z vehicle.

It will cost you $20,100 to own this piece of history, and every dollar is worth it.

5. Jeep Grand Wagoneer (1984-1991)

This was the first entry into a luxury SUV for Jeep. It was one with a bang! This handsome, fake-wood-paneled SUV with power-operated windows, tailgate, doors, seats, leather seating surfaces, and the revolutionary all-surface terrain four-wheel-drive system changed the game. 

It set a precedent blueprint for the countless others that followed, including the new Waggoners and the Range Rover. 

This taste of luxury SUV at its conception will cost you $21,300. 

6. BMW M3 (2001-2006)

BMW didn't design the sports vehicle; it produced the form with its 1970s 2002. That vehicle evolved into the trademark 3-Series. The taste of extravagance, execution, and attention to detail that past and people in the future fell short of merging. The M3 is the amped-up adaptation of the entirety of this, and it is heavenly.

It will cost you $24,900 to own this divine machine. 

7. Mercedes-Benz 230L (1963-1971)

Mercedes has been designing trendsetting two-seater SL sports cars since way back in the mid-'50s. While many have been beguiling and imaginative, this second-age vehicle is excellent. Planned by virtuoso Paul Bracq—who additionally accomplished expert work at Peugeot and BMW and aided France's rapid TGV train—this luxurious SL is known as the Pagoda Top for its trapezoidal rooftop.

It costs $41,400.         

8. Ferrari Testarossa (1985-1996)

Any classic car lover will struggle to name a car more '80s than the Testarossa. 

Named for the red crease finish metal on top of the V-12 motor, mounted just behind the passenger compartment. It is most famous for its screen concealer-like side strakes and its prominent placement on the Michael Mann "Me Decade" TV show, Miami Vice.

This '80s masterpiece costs $134,000.

Whatever era classic you're into, everyone agrees every decade has had its engineering marvel. Share this article with other car lovers!
