Hagerty Unveils 2025 Bull Market List Featuring 11 Collector Cars Expected To Gain Value
Hagerty, Inc. has unveiled its 2025 U.S. Bull Market list, highlighting vehicles expected to rise in value over the next year. This annual list, now in its eighth edition, was compiled using data from sales and insurance valuations. The list features 11 vehicles that are gaining popularity among enthusiasts.
"It’s a common misconception that fun cars have to be expensive," said Larry Webster, Hagerty Senior Vice President of Media and Editorial. "Our Bull Market list provides options for enthusiasts of all interests that will cost little to own. Yet it’s not the cost, but the machines that get us excited. No one looks back at their bank account with fond memories - they look back at those weekend drives, family road trips and evenings in the garage."
The analysis shows a growing interest in cars from the 1980s to early 2000s among younger collectors. Brian Rabold, Vice President of Automotive Intelligence at Hagerty, noted this trend as younger enthusiasts enter the collector car market. Vehicles from these decades are becoming more collectible.
The Datsun 280ZX from 1978-1983 is one such vehicle on the list. Despite being heavier than earlier Z models, it retains much of their charm at a lower price point. Prices have surged by 138% since 2019, yet experts believe there is still room for growth.
The DeLorean DMC-12, known for its iconic status in pop culture, has seen prices increase by over 73% since 2019. Its nostalgic appeal makes it a prime candidate for further appreciation as '80s nostalgia continues to thrive.
The Jaguar E-Type SI 3.8 Coupe from 1961-1964 remains a classic with its elegant design and powerful engine. Although values have decreased recently, interest from Generation X has grown by 8%, suggesting potential price recovery.
The Lamborghini Gallardo (2003-2013) offers an engaging driving experience with its V-10 engine and manual transmission option. Prices have risen modestly by 7% since 2019 but lag behind other Lamborghinis' appreciation rates.
Affordable Classics Gaining Attention
The Dodge Magnum SRT-8 (2005-2008) combines power and practicality with its V-8 engine and rear-wheel drive setup. Despite a price increase of 39% over five years, it remains affordable at around $32,000.
The Volvo P1800 (1961-1972) stands out for its stylish Italian design rather than speed. Younger collectors appreciate this balance between aesthetics and affordability, leading to higher prices paid compared to older buyers.
The Ferrari 400 / 412 (1976-1989) is another example where design has aged well despite initial criticisms about seating configuration and transmission type. Values have increased by more than half since 2019 but remain relatively low compared to other Ferraris.
Emerging Trends Among Enthusiasts
Hagerty's "Future of Driving" survey revealed that nearly 60% of Gen Z respondents aspire to own collector cars compared to only about one-third of Baby Boomers expressing similar interest levels.
This year's Bull Market list reflects these changing preferences with an average model year closer aligned towards modern classics like those produced around or after Y2K era instead older models
