It's sad but true that if you want to know the real value of classic cars, the best place to turn is to criminals. After all, these crooks know exactly what to steal to get the most money to line their pockets and are always looking to make more money.

So you could say that the most stolen cars are also the most popular cars in some weird way. After all, if they weren't popular, criminals wouldn't want to steal them. So what are the most popular classic cars for criminals to steal? I'm glad you asked. The good folks at Hagerty Insurance put together a list of the top 10 most stolen classic cars. These guys make their money insuring classic cars so when they publish a list like this, they know what they're talking about.

Here's what they found from their own records:

1. 1966 to 1982 Chevrolet Corvette

2. 1964 to 1969 Ford Mustang

3. 1958 to 1967 Chevrolet Impala

4. 1968 to 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

5. 1963 to 1972 Chevrolet Nova

6. 1966 to 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle

7. 1970 to 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

8. 1955 to 1965 Cadillac DeVille

9. 1950 to 1971 Chevrolet Pickups

10. 1975 to 1979 Mercedes Benz 450

Looking at the list, the first thing you'll notice is that criminals sure seem to love their Chevrolets. I just hope they're not stealing their Chevy automotive repair manual or Chevrolet auto repair manual to go with it. This is a pretty clear sign that you need to make sure that you keep your Chevy safe with extra security features and good insurance.

While some purists may argue that some of those cars are far too new to be considered true classics, it's still a pretty good representation of what criminals feel are the most valuable cars. Depending on who you talk to, a classic car can be anything older than 25 years old or it can be something far more detailed and specific then that. However, after having seen this list, the smart consumer might be inclined to get anything but a Chevy.

It's also interesting to note that the majority of these cars appear to be on the newer side. The oldest vehicle on this list was the 1950 Chevrolet pickup trucks but for the most part these vehicles appear to be from the 1960s and the 1970s. This may indicate that these newer cars are more popular, but it may just be a sign that there are more new classic cars on the road then really old ones so criminals are just able to find and steal them easier.

Whatever the case may be, I'm sure I speak for most classic car hobbyists when I say that nothing can be worse than having someone steal your vehicle. Hopefully this list gets you thinking on the security for your own classic car and how you can prevent it from being the next vehicle model to make it to the top of the list.

Modern Muscle Cars

Modern muscle cars have really been a passion of many men and women for well over 40 years now. The new breed of modern muscle cars are sleeker, sexier, and oh-so pleasurable to drive! Perhaps the most recognizable modern muscle car is the Ford Mustang. This beautiful high performance vehicle is simply amazing, from its outward design to what's under the hood. A modern day muscle car is typically a two door car, that carries a strong, sturdy v8 engine that has mainly real wheel drive. Another thing about modern muscle cars is that they tend to carry a bit of an affordable price tag, making them perfect for young college students.

Muscle cars were intended to be used for racing, but also has a lot of use for the roads and highways of America and elsewhere. It is a general consensus that muscle cars originated in the late 1960's to the early 1970's. While the original muscle car can be described as a true American car, the philosophy behind it being that you basically just take a small car and then put a huge, big engine inside of it. It can also be said that muscle cars were built mainly for high speed, straight line racing, while not necessarily carrying the sleek appearance or engineering agility and integrity of European cars.

It is not entirely understood, or put in stone exactly which type of cars constitute a modern day muscle car: full sized cars, pony cars or compacts. The term "muscle car" had not really entered into commonality or common terminology until after production of the same vehicle had ended, unfortunately. American print media of the first heyday of the muscle cars had referred to them as "supercars" at that time.

So you might be wondering how ever did the trend of muscle cars become so developed as to what it stands for and is today? Manufacturers would often showcase their performance vehicles in highly publicized limited edition versions of the cars. This was a brave move and might very well be considered what really paved the way for the growing of the muscle car trend!

In the early 60's we can see the rise of all sorts of muscle cars being developed by pretty much all car manufacturers! Now as far as modern muscle cars go, we can see the conception of the Chevy Impala back in 1994-1996. This was simply a very high performance limited edition version of the Caprice. What made this car different was that it had the engine of a corvette! So as you can see from this model, the conception of putting a bigger car's engine worked in its favor, since it now would have a 5.7 liter V8 engine.

In the world of today's super famous modern muscle cars, we can see that the Chevy Camaro ,the Ford Mustang and the Chevy Corvette are by far the most popular, especially with college students and muscle car aficionados alike!

Now only if they can make the modern muscle cars more fuel efficient!

Why would Obama make fun of a person that drives a GM truck?

You know...they company we all own that he bought with the bailout money ( or at least a huge share of it ) Now I don't know about you, but I'd like to see it succeed. It's the company that brought us the Corvette, the Camaro RS SS, the Impala, the Bel Air, the Chevelle...

Doesn't he want us to buy them or was cash for clunkers just for Hyundai's ?? You'd think he'd want ALL OF US to do our part to help out a company WE ALL OWN.
star: then go look at his smart a$$ comments he made about it at the Coakley rally.
Yeah Legio...she's a real winner when it comes to prosecuting SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN. I take it that's perfectly FINE with you though ??

He never said anything about GM. He said, quite correctly, I might add, that owning a truck does not make you qualified for office.
