BelAir was one of the first mass produced cars, and it still has a niche' in the market. Albeit it isn't exactly lucrative unless it's the first few made, but people love refurbishing them because of cheap parts due to being American, access to those cheap parts, and the American engineering that is dumbed down for the purchaser.

I think the E90/2/3 M3 should definitely be on there, it might be the next E30M. E30 was the first NA M, E9x is the last.

Edit: you're focusing on the innovation that made the collectibles today lucrative, but these cars may be the last of it's kind. Which will also sell, just add something different like it being the last made blah blah and it will sell.
