A couple that came to mind:
1993 Mustang Cobra R - only 107 built, sold for mid twenties new back in '93 with "wrapper" cars currently selling for $60k+. It is the reason the '95 and '00 Cobra R's were built. This car has already earned collector status.
1987-1993 5.0 Mustang LX Coupe in like new/mint condition - This was the cheapest way to get into a 5.0 and it was also the fastest 5.0 from the factory due to its light weight. Almost all of these cars have been drag raced to death in the last 20 years so good luck finding one that's still stock, you can't. It will at least have Flowmasters on it...
Mid 90's Impala SS - GM's first use of the SS badges since the very early 70's that actually meant something. A throwback to old school full size muscle.
3rd Gen F-bodies with a Tuned Port 5.7 (extra points if it's 5-spd) - This is the ponycar that GM built that was finally able to catch up with Ford's 5.0 Mustang. These two cars pretty much reignited the horsepower wars in Detroit that are still ongoing.
Dodge Viper - Raw, unrefined brute power at it's best. This car is the direct descendant of the 427 Shelby Cobra. 'Nuff said.
New Dodge Challenger - Retro good looks, lots of power (SRT), and comfy interior. Only problem: The first muscle car era ended right around the time the original Challenger debuted. Hopefully history doesn't repeat its self with the new Challenger.
And oh yeah, the Ford GT - Because it took GM 5 years to build anything that could come close.....................this car is just BAD ASS!
