It's sad but true that if you want to know the real value of classic cars, the best place to turn is to criminals. After all, these crooks know exactly what to steal to get the most money to line their pockets and are always looking to make more money.

So you could say that the most stolen cars are also the most popular cars in some weird way. After all, if they weren't popular, criminals wouldn't want to steal them. So what are the most popular classic cars for criminals to steal? I'm glad you asked. The good folks at Hagerty Insurance put together a list of the top 10 most stolen classic cars. These guys make their money insuring classic cars so when they publish a list like this, they know what they're talking about.

Here's what they found from their own records:

1. 1966 to 1982 Chevrolet Corvette

2. 1964 to 1969 Ford Mustang

3. 1958 to 1967 Chevrolet Impala

4. 1968 to 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

5. 1963 to 1972 Chevrolet Nova

6. 1966 to 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle

7. 1970 to 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

8. 1955 to 1965 Cadillac DeVille

9. 1950 to 1971 Chevrolet Pickups

10. 1975 to 1979 Mercedes Benz 450

Looking at the list, the first thing you'll notice is that criminals sure seem to love their Chevrolets. I just hope they're not stealing their Chevy automotive repair manual or Chevrolet auto repair manual to go with it. This is a pretty clear sign that you need to make sure that you keep your Chevy safe with extra security features and good insurance.

While some purists may argue that some of those cars are far too new to be considered true classics, it's still a pretty good representation of what criminals feel are the most valuable cars. Depending on who you talk to, a classic car can be anything older than 25 years old or it can be something far more detailed and specific then that. However, after having seen this list, the smart consumer might be inclined to get anything but a Chevy.

It's also interesting to note that the majority of these cars appear to be on the newer side. The oldest vehicle on this list was the 1950 Chevrolet pickup trucks but for the most part these vehicles appear to be from the 1960s and the 1970s. This may indicate that these newer cars are more popular, but it may just be a sign that there are more new classic cars on the road then really old ones so criminals are just able to find and steal them easier.

Whatever the case may be, I'm sure I speak for most classic car hobbyists when I say that nothing can be worse than having someone steal your vehicle. Hopefully this list gets you thinking on the security for your own classic car and how you can prevent it from being the next vehicle model to make it to the top of the list.

Powering Up the 2006 Chevy Impala SS

Chevy's flagship car, the Impala, finally has the power to match its heralded name. Ever since the car was redesigned in the late 1990s, the Impala has been more of a pretender than a performer. Now with an optional small block 5.3L V8 added to the mix, the 2006 Chevrolet Impala can go toe to toe with the Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Charger. The changes for the Impala are not all under the hood, Chevy took the time to redo the entire car and they did it with care. Let's look at some of the changes for 2006.

More Power - A V6 is a great engine, especially in these times of high gas prices. Still, if you opt for a car of the Impala's size, at least having the option of purchasing a V8 makes sense, doesn't it?  You better believe it. GM has sweetened the deal by plunking in a V8 that incorporates Corvette technology as the engine heads with "their pent-roof combustion chambers and flat-top pistons deliver high horsepower", this according to Chevrolet's promotional material. In addition, GM's "displacement on demand" technology allows the V8 to squeeze out a miserly 28 mpg on the highway [18 mpg city] with computer equipment that shuts down unneeded cylinders at the appropriate time. Cadillac tried this in the early 1980s with its V8-6-4 engine that failed to live up to the job as computing technology then wasn't what it is today. Fortunately, current GM technology makes this a reality for current models.

Better Looks - When it comes to "looks" beauty is subjective. Yet, previous Impala models had a bit of a pedestrian look to them. In the highly competitive large sedan category, this can easily mean lost sales as the choices for similarly priced, but more aggressive looking cars is strong. All new sheetmetal, a more assertive nose - similar to the Cobalt's - and updated headlights and tail lights gives the Impala a fresh and assertive look.

More Models - 6 in fact. The return of the "SS" as the signature model should help sales. SS, or "Super Sport" is a term that was originally used for the 1961 Impala and by the mid 60s came to represent each of the performance models in the fleet. The Chevelle, Nova, and Camaro all had that designation then while the Impala, Cobalt, Malibu, and TrailBlazer wear it today.

Improved Interior - If you are going to change the skin and what is found under the hood, you might as well dress up the interior, right? The LTZ model - who the heck knows what that stands for - has heated front bucket seats trimmed in leather. Throw in 8 way power and lumbar support for the driver and you are talking top of the line comfort. On select models new "flip and fold" rear seating is available; side curtain air bags for the front seat is standard on all Impalas; and keyless entry, power windows, tilt wheel, OnStar, cruise control, and a host of other features all come standard on the Impala.

Prices start in the low 20s {US} and climb to nearly 30K {US} for fully loaded SS models. How the SS sells remains to be seen, but its bold, fresh look will certainly appeal to those who previously dismissed the Impala.

Start with Hemmings motor news.
If you need cheap, than look locally, as in the largest newspaper in your state. Concentrate on 4 door models for lower prices.
Understand that basket case muscle cars still sell for $5000 or more. You will never get the money out of it that you put in, but is still worth it.
