Hagerty’s 2026 Bull Market List names 11 vehicles it thinks are poised to appreciate over the next year, focusing heavily on 1990s and 2000s “analog modern” performance cars that younger enthusiasts already love. The lineup runs from sub-$20,000 roadsters to seven-figure supercars, all evaluated in “very good” condition, and is meant to highlight cars that can still be driven regularly without destroying their value.
For shoppers who spend weekends scrolling ads for everything from classic trucks to barely used Corvettes, it is a data-driven cheat sheet for what might be worth grabbing sooner rather than later.
Modern Performance Heroes
At the newer end, Hagerty tips the 2006 to 2013 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, with its 7.0-liter LS7 V8 and huge performance per dollar, and the 2006 to 2010 BMW M5, the E60 sedan with a standalone V10 that feels more exotic with each passing year.
At the very top sits the 2004 to 2007 Porsche Carrera GT, now averaging about $1.55 million and celebrating its 25th anniversary in the spotlight as an untouchable supercar that still reigns supreme.
Youngtimer Favorites and Frbidden Fruit
Further down the price scale, the 1999 to 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata (NB) offers more power and refinement than the original with the same lightweight feel, while the 1995 to 1998 Volkswagen Golf GTI VR6 adds six-cylinder character to the hot-hatch formula.
Hagerty also includes the 1995 to 1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R R33, a twin-turbo all-wheel-drive coupe whose Gran Turismo fame and late arrival under U.S. 25-year import rules keep demand high among younger buyers. These are the cars many new collectors grew up with on bedroom walls and game covers, and Hagerty’s data suggests their values are already responding.
Trucks, SUVs and Classic Icons
The list is not all low-slung coupes. The 1990 to 1993 Chevrolet 454 SS pickup and 1981 to 1993 DodgeRamcharger tap into the muscle truck and classic SUV boom, offering big-block grunt or square-body charm at prices that still undercut comparable Broncos.
On the classic side, the 1969 to 1972 Dodge Charger remains a muscle-car benchmark, the 1969 to 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV blends racing pedigree with sharp Italian styling, and the 1956 to 1957 Continental Mark II stands out as hand-built 1950s American luxury that Hagerty still considers undervalued. Taken together, the 11 picks show how the collector market is shifting toward later-model performance cars while still rewarding distinctive trucks and long-established icons.
