The classic car world is a sector that has found its place among nostalgic gearheads. It seems to be an increasing market, and when well preserved or restored, those classics may be worth a fortune.

This is also the case for some uglier cars, that have been recently rediscovered and re-evaluated. Now, the price tags of some of those units report some crazy numbers. Still, collectors just can’t wait to get their hands on those overpriced pieces of automotive history. Check out some ugly classic cars that are worth a lot of money.

10 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver - $14,000 - $19,000

This is one of the weirdest projects to have actually been finalized and put on the road. The 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver is a sort of coupe that came with the terrible intention of merging '60s-style chrome bars and bumpers with a squared and geometrical '80s design. The result is truly hideous.

With an estimated price between $14,000 - $19,000, this car is absolutely overpriced. Sure, it's not a fortune, but everyone knows that purchasing a classic means being aware and ready to spend money quickly on parts and repairs, and the starting price of this red thing is definitely too much.

9 1950 Crosley Super Sport Station Wagon - $21,000

via mecum.com

We are not actually sure where to start when looking at this car. It seems that a 3-year-old child's sketch has been converted into a real design project, and this awful 1950 Crosley Super Sport Station Wagon is the result.

Some wood panels at the side give the impression that this car aimed to be a little more luxurious than its competitors. But everyone agrees that for this car to even have competitors is a real problem.

8 1974 AMC Gremlin X - $32,450

via mecum.com

The Gremlin is one of the most famous ugly American cars, and it owes this fame to its small and awkward proportions that make it look like a damaged tuna can. Collectors will pay a lot of money for these, especially when it's dressed up in some race-inspired stripes and trim.

Full of options and with power steering, this little sporty car is packing a 258 cu in (4.2-liter) 6-cylinder engine, mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. Lightweight and playful enough, this car is famous for catching the attention of the whole neighborhood — whether positive or negative, this is a factor the buyer better consider in advance.

7 1958 Edsel Pacer Convertible - $45,000

via mecum.com

It seems when they designed the front of the Edsel, they had a 20-minute brainstorming session where they collected the ideas of all the gearheads there. Then, it looked like they wanted to include all those sketches in a single car's front. This confused and chaotic design is the result.

via mecum.com

The Edsel Pacer has a 361 cu in engine, which delivered 303 hp. The block was based on Ford’s Y models, with an optional automatic transmission, and steering wheel hub push-button controls. This 1958 Pacer convertible is finished in two-tone Ember Red and Silver Grey, which at least gives the car a proper '50s look.

6 1959 Fiat Multipla - $45,000

Via @GingerlyCaptured

Tiny and cute, this could have been the coolest two-tone design of a tuna can. Unfortunately, some Italian engineers at Fiat decided to give this design four wheels and the 1959 Multipla is an example of a weird one-of-a-kind car.

via mecum.com

We're not sure which end is the front and which is the rear, but we can tell you that this is the first generation Multipla, and it's actually not as ugly as the '00s Multipla. This tiny little car comes with a small 600cc inline 4-cylinder engine which produces 28 hp; apparently, that's enough to make it move.

5 1973 Volkswagen Thing - $46,200

via mecum.com

This little Buggy-style vehicle came from the Hannover factory with the name "Type 181." Now, it's not hard to imagine why this "car" has been commercialized under the name of "Thing" for the US market.

via mecum.com

We're not sure if this was actually meant to serve coconut water in Puerto Rico. What we do know, is that tiny, funny, awkward, yet peculiar Volkswagen vehicle costs a lot of money, especially this unit that has been restored to perfection.

4 1973 Citroën SM - $50,600

via mecum.com

It's so sad that this car came with such an awful design. Actually, this French Citroën SM featured some super cool technology that made this generation model (along with the DS and the CX) way ahead of its time.

via mecum.com

What made this car an outstanding model were the hydraulically assisted steering, suspension (which was also height adjustable), and braking. The car is packing an aluminum Maserati V6 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Also, this one came with factory air conditioning and power windows. The design wasn't actually in line with its innovative high-end technology.

3 1970 AMC AMX - $67,000

via mecum.com

AMC was capable of releasing interesting models, but at the same time, some weird creations came out from the factory. The AMX is one of the awkward coupes from the American company.

via mecum.com

The car is powered by a 390 cu in V8 engine that's mated to a 4-speed transmission. Factory power steering and power brakes were cool options at that time. The fact that this is one of the few 74 Big Bad Greens makes it very appealing to collectors.

2 1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible - $70,000

via mecum.com

The Thunderbird has clearly seen better years. The 1962 edition came with a very weird front. Instead of being projected to the horizon, the lines of the car seem to end up on the asphalt, and a too-sophisticated grille emphasizes the lack of an authentic identity.

via mecum.com

With an original M code engine with 390 cu in displacement, it could deliver some 340 hp. Optional features such as automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and power seats made this $70,000 convertible a peculiar car, but not necessarily the best-looking one Ford could offer.

1 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III Convertible - $90,000

via mecum.com

The Lincoln Continental MKIII looks like a Chevy Impala that has undergone a bad photoshop facelift. After so many years, we just can't understand why they thought it was cool to have oblique front lights.

via mecum.com

The aim of designing something futuristic is a real struggle. The line that divides the failure with the wing is really thin. And unfortunately, the Continental is on the wrong side. What a pity, the intentions seemed to be good, but the flop was just around the corner.
