The 968 is one of the rarest Porsches on the road — just 13,000 rolled off the line during its 1992-1995 production run. With a distinctive bubble-shaped rear and a minimalist interior, it was never a top-selling model. "The 968 is instantly recognizable as a Porsche, but even enthusiasts often aren't sure of the model number or production years," says Ray Starbird, founder of the site 968.net, which has been paying homage to the quirky Porsche since 1999.

Collector prognosis: The enthusiast community is strong, which bodes well for the 968. "Its rarity makes encounters with other owners feel like reunions," Starbird says.
