    by Chris Chilton Hagerty’s 2026 Bull Market List spotlights 11 cars primed to appreciate. The list leans into ’90s and 2000s analog modern cars appealing to youth. Values span under $10k to over $1.5M, from Miatas to Carrera GTs. Hagerty has dropped the ninth edition of its annual Bull Market List, and once again it’s mostly less about garage queens and more about smart enthusiast buys you can actually enjoy. The idea is simple: identify cars that punch above their weight in value, ownership costs, and sheer driving fun, then flag the ones most likely to rise in value over the next 12 months.

According to Hagerty, this era represents the final sweet spot of “analog modernity,” when cars delivered proper performance, real driver involvement, and minimal electronic nannying, often paired with manual gearboxes. Younger buyers are driving much of that interest in affordable neo-classic metal, but there’s also space here for old-school American muscle and a genuine blue-chip exotic. Values range from under $10,000 to well north of seven figures, proving that whether your budget stretches to a used Miata or a Carrera GT, speculation-friendly fun is still very much on the table. Here’s Hagerty’s full 2026 Bull Market List, from youngest to oldest. The C6 Corvette Z06 remains one of the best horsepower-per-dollar deals around. Its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 delivers 505 hp (512 PS) and stacks of character, while values remain surprisingly restrained for a car with true supercar-rivaling performance. A genuine Corvette great. BMW’s V10-powered sedan is already legendary, and younger buyers are taking notice. The 500 hp (507 PS) S85 engine is unique to this car, gloriously unhinged, and increasingly appreciated as BMW moves further away from specialized naturally-aspirated M engines. Just make sure those rod bolts have been changed. One of Porsche’s purest creations, the Carrera GT’s V10, manual gearbox, and limited production make it increasingly untouchable. Demand is strong among (obscenely wealthy) younger collectors, helping cement its status as a modern hypercar icon. The NB Miata built on the original’s charm while adding power. Cheap to run, endlessly fun, and loved by everyone, it’s no surprise demand continues to outpace supply across all age groups. Rust is an issue, but so is trying to keep a straight face. Gran Turismo fame, twin turbos, and long-standing US forbidden-fruit status have made the R33 Skyline GT-R incredibly desirable. Since becoming legal to import, clean examples haven’t stayed affordable for long, and that trend isn’t stopping. The Mk3 Golf GTI with a 172 hp (174 PS) six-cylinder soundtrack hits nostalgia hard. With younger enthusiasts dominating interest, the VR6’s blend of practicality and character is finally translating into stronger values. A muscle truck before muscle trucks were the big deal they are today. Big-block torque, stealthy looks, and growing collector interest have pushed values sharply upward, but the SS remains cheaper than many modern performance pickups. Review: 2026 Ram 1500 V8 Hemi Is Worse On Paper But Better In Reality Than The Hurricane Six Classic SUV demand is exploding, and the Dodge Ramcharger offers V8 muscle without asking Bronco money. Its boxy styling and simplicity are winning over buyers who want vintage toughness without chasing overheated prices. Collectors priced out of vintage Porsches are rediscovering Alfa’s pretty GTV. Timeless design, engaging driving dynamics, and racing pedigree are combining to lift values. Unfortunately, those values have been lifted deep into classic Porsche territory, so you might already be too late to buy. Few cars capture American muscle mythology like the Charger, and the draw goes far beyond boomers trying to recapture their youth. With strong interest from Gen X and younger buyers, high-performance R/T models continue to gain momentum. Once the most expensive American car ever built, the Mark II is a rolling monument to 1950s luxury. Elegant, refined, and still surprisingly usable, it remains undervalued considering its history and craftsmanship. As Hagerty puts it, no matter your budget, it’s never been easier to buy an enthusiast car you genuinely love, and maybe even watch it appreciate while you’re at it. Which of these 11 cars gets you juiced up or do you have another hot collector tip for 2026?
