The Next Generation Of Collector Cars: Here’s The 8 You Need To Buy Now!

5.  Mk1 VW GTI

The first generation of the Volkswagen Golf was a success in the United States.  They were German economy cars being built on American soil.  Who wouldn’t love that right?  Despite the love for the little car the American people had caught wind of a performance version called the GTI and they had to have it.  When the Mk1 VW GTI hit the streets people bought them up like they where the holy grail.  The GTI was the same as the Golf on first look but if you look a little deeper you will notice it had a larger engine and had been put on a diet.  The 1.6 liter motor pushed the GTI from 0 to 60 in 9 seconds.  That’s not fast by today’s standards but if you add the GTI’s weight of 1,700 pounds into the mix you’ll quickly discover why it is the first true hot hatch back.  These little guys can pack a huge punch on your wallet for such a small car.  Expect to pay somewhere between $5,000 to $10,000 dollars depending on condition.
