Cool article, I like several of the cars listed...BTW, the article is almost a year old (September 2015)...It will be interesting to see if the value predictions will hold...
Cheers,
Rich

About 10 years ago, a buddy of mine was looking for a reliable classic car with character that would appreciate in value over time without him having to put a lot of $ into it during his ownership. He loved the look of my GT and the solid build quality. He said that if Porsche made such a solid car in a convertible, he'd be all over it.
I told him to look for an early to mid-60's Mercedes SL. He found a beautiful one for $25k and hasn't regretted his purchase one bit. Recently he was offered $75k for it. I'm now realizing that might have been on the low side
The 928 will probably never catch the SL when it comes to appreciation, but then again, the SL will never catch a 928 when it comes to acceleration!

These kinds of lists never take into account the practicality of ownership. Like the fact that some cars have no parts available (e.g., many older American cars). Others are exceedingly expensive to maintain (e.g. Countach). The 928, while it is getting harder to find competent mechanics, is at least still possible to maintain almost completely, with reasonably priced parts.
