It can be difficult to shovel your hard-earned money into a classic car. Between the uncertainty of what would make a good investment, fluctuations in pricing, and the inevitable wrenching and frustration, buying a classic car can feel like a rollercoaster ride without the seatbelt. Thankfully, Hagerty, the Sherlock Holmes of classic cars, has released its top picks for 2017.

With skills honed from working on top World Rally Championship teams, Hamilton’s Firebird matches the speed of a Z06 Corvette. For him, it’s not just about the drive—it’s about the joy of tinkering and the mechanical beauty of the build.
