These were in production from 1983 to 1996. These vehicles have a 5.7L V8 engine and the engine placement is Front mid. The ZR-1 model has a powerful LT5 engine that can produce a maximum of 375 hp. The only reason for the decline in sales is the price, These were sold for $32,479 in 1990. Obviously for such a sleek design and high-performing vehicle the production cost will be high. You can always consider this a classic and it always adds another dimension to the collection.

3. Lancia Montecarlo

The signature Lancia split grille is what made this vehicle look better and with the three-spoke Momo steering wheel this vehicle has a different vibe to look at and even to drive.

The AMC Hornet was manufactured and marketed by American Motors Corporation (AMC) and was in production from 1969 to 1977. This vehicle has a 285hp V-8 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Classics with manual transmission these days has got a crazy competition among buyers but this vehicle is highly underrated. So you can find it at a lower price.

7. Lancia Fulvia Berlina

Another vehicle from Lancia which was produced between 1963 and 1976. It was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963. They released this car in three variants Berlina ( a 4-door saloon), Coupé, and Sport. Among these Berlina was underrated because of its looks.

Really? No, Its underrated because Berlina is a cute looking family car where as other two variants are Coupes with completely different design. This Berlina also comes with a V4 engine as others but the power is less when compared. But berlina will be a good car if power is not an issue for you.

8. Triumph Spitfire

The Spitfires has a 1,147 cc inline four-cylinder engine that produces a maximum power of 63 horsepower and 67 ft-lb. of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 16.4 seconds and reach a top speed of a respectable 92 mph. With the inexpensive plastic steering wheel, external doorlocks, rollup windows and mainly the underpowered engine this can be bargained to a much lower price.

9. Ford Mustang

This Mustang is the first model that had a very positive response in the 80’s. This is mainly because of its design which was very sleek and often reffered as Fox Body Mustang. This pony car has different engines for different model years but with no doubt in the performance.

10. Alfa Romeo GTV
