Which Classics Will Be on the 2025 Hagerty Bull Market List?
When it comes to Hagerty’s Bull Market List, our annual selection of vehicles most likely to appreciate in the near future, we set aside feelings and choose based on fact. Indeed, many of us here at Hagerty love sifting through spreadsheets to uncover a few choice candidates. Imagine yourself sitting with us in the dim light of all those computer screens. Which cars would you expect the data to favor?
I expect our Bull Market picks would be pretty close to those of the Hagerty Community. You can read some of your picks when we asked the same question last year, but we really want to know what classic, antique, or special interest vehicles you think are primed to make a splash in the market for 2025?
Here’s my choice:
For the record, I already know our Bull Market 2025 winners. And sadly, the 1990–95 Corvette ZR-1 is absolutely not on this list. I am choosing this car for our little thought experiment for a few reasons:
- I want the ZR-1 to appreciate in value and become the classic American icon it so deserves to be. All the “math homework” Hagerty could give me will never change my opinion on this matter.
- They seem to be slowly, gently appreciating in certain colors, model years, and conditions.
- One shockingly clean example wound up at a local you-pull-you-pay junkyard to me this year. Owned by LKQ, the corporate mothership quickly realized the local yard’s mistake, yanked it from inventory, and likely sold the parts off that goldmine elsewhere in their empire.
None of these reasons are valid, and my colleagues would laugh me out of a conference room/Zoom call for proposing that the C4 Corvette ZR-1 join the Hagerty Bull Market for 2025. But this isn’t a company meeting. This is my fireside chat with the Hagerty Community: I shall propose whatever I like, for whatever reasons I choose!
And so should you. The ball is now in your court, folks. Please tell me, esteemed members of the Hagerty Community, what you’d like to see on the Hagerty Bull Market for 2025. Maybe tell us why, as well; your stories are always insightful and enlightening.
The Bull Market could be decided by which celebrity is selling their cars in 2025. I am sorry but shame on you for paying more because it belongs to George Forman or some other celebrity. When I see these listings in the Market Place I have to laugh at whoever bought one.
It’s time for the 80’s Mercedes Benz W123 series to gain some interest. More specifically, the 300TD Estate car. A car with all the features found in modern ubiquitous SUV’s but in a luxury classic. A ride with comfort, style, class powered by a stout, long lived, reliable turbo diesel.
