Muscle cars from the 1960s and early 1970s still command serious money when they cross the auction block. The sales below range from multimillion dollar records to routine six figure results at a single 2026 event. Here are eleven cars and what each one sold for.

1. Chevrolet Corvette L88: Barrett-Jackson Benchmark
A 1967 Corvette L88 coupe sold for $3,850,000 at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2014, a result listed among top Corvette auction sales. The figure belongs to a single car at a single sale, so it describes one result rather than a standing price for the model.
Anyone weighing a comparable car should read the number as a snapshot. A sale from 2014 reflects that day’s bidding and that car’s history, and it is not a current valuation or a guarantee that other examples would reach the same level.
2. Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda convertible: Seattle Record Bid
A 1971 Hemi ‘Cuda convertible was hammered at $3.5 million at Mecum’s Seattle auction in June 2014, a record at the time, as described in coverage of the record bid. The sale put the Plymouth among the most closely watched cars of that auction season.
The word record applied then and not necessarily now, since later sales may have moved the mark. For a buyer or owner, the takeaway is that the price describes one convertible in 2014 and should not be read as a current market rate.
3. Shelby GT350R: Two Sales, Rising Price
A 1965 Shelby GT350R sold for $3.85 million in 2020 and again for $4.07 million in 2022, according to a SlashGear muscle car ranking published in March 2024. The two results show the same kind of car changing hands at a higher figure two years apart.
The report names no auction house, so the venue behind either price is not confirmed here. Buyers tracking values can note the direction between the two sales while treating each figure as a result for a single car.
4. Shelby GT500 Super Snake: Prototype Money
A 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake prototype sold for $2.2 million in 2019, based on the same SlashGear ranking that ranks the priciest muscle cars. The listing identifies the car as a prototype, which sets it apart from ordinary production examples.
As with the neighboring Shelby entry, the source does not name the auction house. The price therefore speaks to a rare prototype in a particular year, and it offers little guidance for owners of more common cars from the same period.
5. Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 LS6: Race Car Result
A 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 race car sold for $1.2 million in 2006, as noted in a muscle car price list. The sale is the oldest result in this set, which makes it a useful reminder of how long the top end of the muscle car market has run at seven figures.
The entry describes a race car, not a street machine, and no auction house is given. A buyer comparing prices should keep that distinction in mind and treat the figure as a single data point from 2006.
6. Dodge Charger Daytona: Record Hemi Winged Car
A 1969 Hemi Daytona sold for a record $1.43 million at Mecum Kissimmee, reported on January 16, 2023, in coverage of the Kissimmee sale. The Charger Daytona is the winged variant that stands apart from the regular Charger line.
One caveat comes from earlier coverage: Hagerty reported in May 2022 that a $1.32 million sale at Mecum Indy had set a then record. The Kissimmee result therefore raised a mark that had been set only months before, a pattern buyers should expect from record claims.
7. Pontiac GTO Judge: Ram Air IV Convertible
A 1970 GTO Judge Ram Air IV convertible sold for $1.1 million at Mecum Kissimmee in 2023, as detailed in the Hagerty report. The article presents the price as the most expensive ever paid for a GTO.
That claim comes from the source and was true as of the report, so later sales could change it. For owners, the sale shows that a rare Judge convertible with the Ram Air IV engine can reach well beyond what typical GTOs bring.
8. Ford Mustang Boss 429: Harrisburg Boss 429
A 1969 Boss 429 sold for $550,000 at Mecum Harrisburg in 2026, according to a Harrisburg 2026 roundup of the auction’s top results. The price is far below the seven figure sales earlier in this list.
This was an ordinary result at the event and not a record, which shows how widely muscle car prices spread. Buyers can use it as a recent reference for a specific Boss 429 while recognizing that condition and history drive any single sale.
9. Dodge Hemi Charger R/T: Hemi Charger Value
A 1968 Hemi Charger R/T sold for $181,500 at Mecum Harrisburg in 2026, ranked in the Harrisburg sales ranking of the event’s biggest sales. That is a fraction of the Daytona result, though it still sits among the top ten at that auction.
The sale was a normal outcome and not a record. Shoppers can read it as a recent data point for a Hemi Charger R/T, remembering that one car at one auction does not set a market price for every example.
10. Plymouth Road Runner: Road Runner A12
A 1969 Road Runner A12 sold for $170,500 at Mecum Harrisburg in 2026, according to an autoevolution top ten covering the auction’s top sales. The A12 designation marks it as a special version of the Plymouth.
The price is a routine result for the event and not a record. For buyers, it offers a recent reference for an A12 Road Runner, though the condition and documentation of each car will shape what any sale actually brings.
11. Dodge Challenger T/A: Challenger T/A Sale
A 1970 Challenger T/A sold for $156,750 at Mecum Harrisburg in 2026, ranked in the Harrisburg top ten report of the auction. It is the lowest price among the eleven cars here, yet it still made the event’s top ten.
The sale was an ordinary result and not a record. A shopper can treat it as a recent marker for the T/A, while remembering that a single hammer price reflects one car on one day and not the broader market.
