Some rides didn't get the credit they deserve when new, or were once well known and have become forgotten in the interim. Like the Blown 312 Y block '57 Fairlanes, that had the kind of power FE V8 Mustangs only had a decade later. What other cars would you add?

While not a car, I feel these were under appreciated for what they were.

 

Syclone and Typhoon from GMC

 

I don't know if I agree, dfelt. The Syclone was limited to just under 3,000 units in 1991, with a price tag around ~$25K (I can't recall the 2-year production numbers for the Typhoon nor the MSRP). For a truck, it had a lot of media presence and it was featured all over the place. Even today, 24 years after introduction, a well cared for Syclone sells for at least $15k in the Northeast. There are fan sites, clubs, and they still show up at high media auction coverage. Now the '92-only Sonoma GT was an under appreciated truck, it had the high output 4.3L V6 engine in it
