13: 1965 Chevrolet Nova SS
While often overshadowed by the other muscle cars of this era, the 1965 Chevrolet Nova SS is a marvel of design. The no-frills style of the car fits in the muscle car era. Bold proportions in the back gave the Nova an aggressive stance. Likewise, the Nova came equipped with a powerful standard motor. The Nova has managed to cement itself as the standard-bearer of muscle car performance.

Valuation for these cars is still on the rise and the market just keeps getting hotter. Few cars have managed to top the Nova in terms of styling or value for the price. This is a no-frills muscle car with a good amount of power to it.
