You’re either a Camaro guy or a Mustang guy. General Motors or Ford.

Whichever your allegiance, though, investing in those old Camaro IROC-Zs may be a smart move. These mass-produced, special-edition versions of the Z28 Camaro Chevrolet, built from 1985 to 1990, have seen huge gains over the past five years, with the best examples up 50 percent in value since 2011, according to car insurer Hagerty. Comparable Ford Mustang GTs have increased just 39 percent in value.
