Today's Wall Street Journal (Section W) has a HUGE spread discussing classic
cars as - of course - investments. Great rundown on these markets for the
past ten years.
     Among the cars rated "Buy" in the Dow Jones Investment-Car Index is
this one:

1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza coupe     $4,575/$5,225 (show condition)
+43% over past 5 years    +100% over past 10 years
Blame Ralph Nader's "Unsafe at Any Speed." Mint versions of cute, criticized
Corvair cost about as much in today's dollars as they did in '65. They can
hardly go down.

A rare variant of a Mustang is listed a bit further down in the same list.
No pictures of the Corvair, sorry, but fascinating article all the same.
