People soon started to recognize performance machines and the passion behind their engineering. During the 1950s and ’60s, the sports car market exploded, eventually giving birth to the greatest sports cars of all time.
Today, after so many sports cars have graced race circuits and streets, we can safely say that those machines created the automotive community.

Ford jumped on the bandwagon with a new retro-styled supercar simply called the GT, It was a clear and obvious successor to the fantastic Le Mans-winning GT40 from the late ’60s (via Auto Evolution).
The heart of the Ford GT is Ford’s fabulous 5.4-liter supercharged V8 with 550 HP. The GT was capable of achieving a 0 to 60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph. Although the Ford GT wasn’t constructed or designed with racing in mind, the car proved quite capable on the track in the hands of private teams.

The classic car market has continued to explode in popularity and value over the past decade. What used to be an affordable project car will now cost much more. Why are classic cars becoming so pricey? First, more people who grew up wanting these cars now have the disposable income to purchase one. So the car that you might have wanted as a kid is going to set you back a pretty penny, and the car that you’ve held onto since high school might be your future retirement fund.
Collecting classic cars is a rewarding hobby and driving them is just as fun.

While the thought of purchasing a muscle car can be quite daunting, there are a few that are priced out of this world. We looked at classic cars that will make you want to remortgage your house. While they are great rides, the prices on these muscle cars are insane. Check them out here.
