Ten years after the first Corvette was created, Chevrolet shocked the world with the revolutionary Sting Ray. Four-wheel independent suspension courtesy of a transverse-mounted rear leaf spring and four-wheel disc brakes (starting in 1965) made the Corvette handle, while optional fuel-injection through 1965 and monster big-block engines after 1965 made it go. 1963 also saw the first Corvette in a coupe body. Automatic-equipped cars use the 2-speed Powerglide slushbox, but the 4-speed manual is lovely to use. Reproduction parts are plentiful, and maintenance is easy, but the hideaway headlights can be problematic and paint can stress crack over the fiberglass body. 1963 "Split Window" coupes, fuel-injected cars, and maximum horsepower cars such as the nominally 430 hp, but really 560 hp 427 cubic inch L88, are the most valuable. However, all second generation Corvettes are great collector cars. If you can find one in your price range, buy it.

The original Army Jeep’s super performing design came in response to an incredible list of specifications demanded by the military, but they performed exceptionally on the home front as well, with go-anywhere prowess and bare-bones simplicity in an affordable package. Sixty years later, it’s still America’s go-to 4x4 machine, and prices on excellent originals are on the move.
