Number 5: Chrysler TEVan and Dodge Epic

Why would a minivan place so highly on our list of future collectibles? Simple: practicality. Just think, how much would a five-passenger all-electric vehicle that can travel at 70 miles per hour with a range of 80 miles or so an MPGe score of over 200 miles per gallon be worth? Chrysler built 56 electric vans in the mid-to-late '90s and there are still some floating around, including one that is driven regularly in Phoenix, Arizona to this day. A few years later, Dodge showed off its EPIC concept, which used a similar drivetrain setup except with 324-volts of lead-acid batteries that replaced the older nickel-based units. The vehicles were sold to various utility companies, and if you can get your hands on one, we'd recommend it.
