Top 7 Classic American Cars And Trucks That Collectors Wouldn’T Want Even If They Were Given Away For Free.

Classic car values constantly rise and fall. While some people manage to make tons of cash on these vehicles, others have lost small fortunes.

Some people have managed to make a fortune from classic cars, they were left as legacies, or sometimes even from barn finds. And yet some have had their classic beauties sell well under the value. For now, these are the 7 classic American cars and trucks most collectors have had enough of.

1: 1964 Ford Falcon Ranchero

The Ford Falcon Ranchero remained in production from 1957 to 1979, before the F-Series finally took over as America’s favorite pickup truck.

Recent values of the Ranchero have been on the decline though, and many believe it is so because of a lack of repair parts. From a mint-condition price range of more than $20k, prices are steadily falling.

2: 1979 Dodge D100 1/2 Ton

Before the Dodge Ram and the RAM, there were the Dodge D-Series trucks. Think Li’l Red Express, Midnite Express, Warlock, et al. This is why the 1979 D100 gets a little edged out in the classic car bazaar – everyone prefers the limited edition classics of that time.

That said; they are sill amazing classics and deserve a price revival.

3: 1974/1978 Ford Mustang II

Before your eyes light up at the prospect of buying a cheap classic Mustang, remember this was the oil embargo era Mustang. It may have saved Ford, but it wasn’t what a muscle car should be like, at all.  The weakest Mustang around, a mint condition one could be had for under $10k.

But why would you want it?

4: 1948 Ford Deluxe

The Ford John Travolta rides around in the movie Grease is the Ford Deluxe, so introduced as a bridge between the pricier Lincolns and the cheap Ford.

It did well then but in recent years, prices have begun to get droopier ever so slightly, which might be signaling an end to the demand for this classic if bulbous car.

5: 1971 Chevrolet Impala

Impala and the TV series Supernatural seem eternally bound now, but the 1971 Impala does not seem to benefit from this. The gorgeous size of the car made for a great and plush ride, but no one seems to want it and its 245 horses anymore.

You can have a mint condition for almost $15k now and well-used ones come in cheap at $5-7k.

6: 1966 Dodge Charger

The 1966 Dodge Charger was a peak muscle car in its heydays with everyone trying to fit in the biggest engine they could in beautiful frames. Of course, 1966 was also the year of the Mustang, like 64 and 65.

The Dodge Charger was a poor cousin in sales and seems to see a sudden dip in prices. From $130,000 for a mint condition example to $100,000 is quite the drop.

7: 1969 Buick Wildcat

Average values of the Wildcat fall in the $7,000-11,000 range, and while these were great cars, they were overshadowed by the pure muscles around. Mustang apart, these had to contend with the Camaro, the Dodge Charger and of course, the Plymouth Roadrunner.

Outclassed, they remain average buys on the classic car bazaar as well.
