OK, this one isn’t over $70,000, but it deserves an honorable mention. The 1988 Jeep Wrangler Sahara was spotted for $50,000 on Autotrader, as the owner claims it was once owned by Carroll Shelby himself.

The V8-powered 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 has a starting price of $75,000. The Jeep offers a 6.4-liter engine that pumps out 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The speedster only needs 4.5 seconds to reach 60 mph.
