Mercury Cyclone
The Mercury Cyclone is classic car with massive price drops in the near future. In fact, it’s estimated that this car’s value is dropping by about 15% based on recent auctions, according to VintageCarCollector.com. With low brand visibility and recognition, the Mercury Cyclone isn’t winning any popularity contests when compared to Mustangs and Chargers. If you’ve been eyeing up the Mercury Cyclone, this fall might be the perfect time to snag a deal.

“When the market for muscle cars was booming, the Cyclone was popular; however, the market has since slowed and the Cyclone doesn’t have the same level of following as the more well-known makes and models,” said Melanie Musson, auto industry expert with AutoInsurance.org. “As a result, it’s lost demand and when there’s less demand, the price will inevitably decrease.”
1980s Porsche 944
The 1980s Porsche 944 will also face price drops in the fall of 2025. With expensive parts and current values dropping, many investors and car lovers are looking elsewhere. The classic car boom during the pandemic has begun to subside, leaving excess Porsche 944 inventory on the market. With less competition, you will have more bargaining power when securing your 1980s Porsche 944.
“These had a big spike during the pandemic, there was the need for “affordable Porsches,” said Alex Black, chief marketing officer at EpicVIN. “The mania, however, is slowing down. Parts are expensive and it’s not the most maintenance-easy car. Listings are slower and prices are declining, some even back below the $10,000 price point again.”
1970s Cadillac Eldorado
Market preferences and adjustments are also impacting the 1970s Cadillac Eldorado. With people now looking for smaller, sportier coupes, the Eldorado is becoming less desirable. This means that you might be able to find a 1970s Cadillac Eldorado at a great price this fall. While demand might be easing, this classic car may still be your collector’s dream.
“Large land yachts like the Eldorado are no longer becoming popular,” Black said. “Gas and storage are tougher sells nowadays. Unless it’s in mint condition, buyers aren’t exactly falling all over themselves as they were a couple of years ago.”
1965 Ford Mustang GT
The 1965 to 1966 Ford Mustang GT is losing approximately 12% of its value year-over-year, according to VintageCarCollector.com. With the market being saturated, there has been a shift in demand toward models with higher specifications, such as the GT350s. Similarly, car collectors are seeking more exclusive models, with the 1965 model having an oversupply. There are only a few rare versions of this model. However, if you are looking for a classic Ford Mustang GT, fall of 2025 might be the perfect time to find a great deal.
