Classic Mopar Muscle Cars are already collectible, and some, like these rare examples, can be worth a lot

Classic Dodge and Plymouth muscle cars come with built-in collectability because of their sheer awesomeness and limited inventory. Millions of Mustangs and Camaros were built during the classic muscle-car era, but only 96,100 second-gen Chargers were made, according to Classic.com. And many of those were destroyed by The Dukes of Hazard and the Fast & Furious franchise. A total of about 188,600 first-generation Challengers were sold during its five-year production run from 1970 to 1974, according to the parent company, Stellantis, versus almost 700,000 first-gen Camaros.

Mopar muscle cars get even more collectible because certain options make them extremely rare and desirable. Anything that was factory-equipped with a 426 Hemi is going to be in higher demand than one with a 318. Also, four-speed transmissions or convertible tops were less common, so any combination of rare features and engines would bring top dollar. Lastly, matching numbers matter. Celebrities may love butchered overpriced resto-mods, but Mopar purists demand all-original rides.

Rarity, however, doesn't always equal collectability, but value sure does. What someone is willing to pay for something determines how much that thing is worth. There are Mopars that were made in extremely limited quantities that don't sell for even half of what a more common, perfect, factory original, Hemi-powered four-speed goes for. Since cash is king, here are the most collectible classic Mopar muscle cars.
