Predicting Tomorrow’s Collectible Cars: 2025 Edition
Although there are certainly no experts Being in the car appraisal world, having owned over 50 cars in my 27 years of driving, I was honored to be on a panel of a handful of industry experts predicting "tomorrow's" collector cars. The Future of Collectibles Symposium is once again an important part of the 2025 Barrett-Jackson Collectible Car Auction in Scottsdale. Hundreds of specialty cars will find new homes in about a week. Will you be one of the lucky buyers? No one on the panel had a crystal ball, but we did share some collective industry insights into how we see the future. I've put together a list of five vehicles that I think will have rising appeal in the coming months and years. Here they are in alphabetical order by brand: 2022 Acura NSX Type S (NC1 chassis) Honda's halo supercar, the NSX, returned to the market in 2017 after a hiatus of more than a decade. This…
AutoHunter Spotlight: 1991 Acura NSX
Featured in automatic hunter This is a 1991 Acura NSX with 59,141 miles. Like most NSXs of this period, this car was powered by a 3.0-liter VTEC V6 engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Notable features of the mid-engine supercar include an aluminum semi-monocoque chassis, titanium connecting rods, a dual-disc clutch, a Bose premium audio system with built-in subwoofer, and traction control. Finished in Berlin Black paint and Ivory leather interior, this mid-engine supercar is offered by the selling dealer and comes with a clear title. In 1991, only 474 NSXs were painted Berlin Black. Other features include an integrated spoiler with a third brake light and dual exhaust pipes that protrude from under the rear bumper. The 15-inch gold Acura wheels are a good-looking modification that match the bodywork, and are shod with staggered-width Continental Extreme Contact Sport radial tires: 205/50 in the front, 225/50 in the rear. The ivory leather interior includes bucket seats and black components.…
Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
when i'm getting ready Heading to Chicago for the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, I was in a muscle car mindset. But look at the vehicles below and you'll see there's only one muscle car. It's the least I can do since strong muscle car content is coming. But seriously, who can say no to the Acura NSX? I'd love to drive one. The Gasser is equally new, although I can't say I'd enjoy driving it. Mercury and Pontiac sit in the middle of the two, both powerful in different ways. Which of the four do you prefer? 1959 Mercury Park LaneThe Mercury of the late 1950s would not have been popular with those who were interested in it. By 1959, the Mercury was very similar to its Ford sibling, abandoning show car styling. At the top of the tier is Park Lane, which competes with the Buick Electra and Chrysler New Yorker. If you like catapult fins and upper-middle-class…
Honda to bring 1984 HP-X concept car to Pebble Beach
Probably You've probably never seen the 1984 Honda HP-X concept car before. You've probably never even seen Hear That's okay. We understand. It was unveiled at the 1984 Turin Motor Show but hasn't been seen in public for 40 years. That streak ends on Sunday, August 18, when it makes its North American debut at the 73rd annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance during Monterey Car Week in 2024. With its wedge-shaped Pininfarina design, it's sure to turn a lot of heads, but it's more than just looks. It's an important page in Honda and Acura history. We’re so used to concept cars that it’s easy to think they’ve always been around. In the 1980s, concept cars were new to Honda. In fact, the HP-X (Honda Pininfarina eXperimental) was Honda’s first concept car. Pininfarina’s designers certainly knew what a concept car should look like. They gave it an aggressive fighter jet-style removable one-piece Perspex canopy. Not only was this the highlight…
