8.  Datsun 240Z

The Datsun 240Z already has a cult following that will line up to tell you how incredible the car is.  Datsun released its inline six sports car on the American automotive market for the 1970 model year.  The U.S. version featured a 2.4 liter inline six cylinder engine that produced 151 horses.  That may not sound like a lot of power by today’s standards but the Datsun flew from 0-60 in less that 8 seconds and could reach a top speed of 125 miles per hour.  It was faster than the current offerings from Jaguar and even Porsche, which ruled the sports car world in the late 60’s.  Suspension and handling were on point as well.  This Japanese car featured some of the best handling the world had ever seen out of a rear wheel drive car before.  The Datsun 240Z is steadily becoming more and more popular as the years tick by.  You can find them in all different states of condition.  Pricing for a top notch 240Z will run you close to $10,000.  A fully restored example will easily force you to shell out close to $50,000.
