Hate to break it to you, but you're not going to find anything in the domestic classic car market that "you can take care of" under 50k, that will appreciate. The boomers have fricked the market. You either pay 100k for something complete or spend 50k doing it yourself. It's hard for me to afford parts for my Chevelle currently. Everything is hyper inflated.

$50k is more than enough for a good driver quality classic.

I’d love to get in one and be let loose on the roads. I bet they are fun AF to drive.

Peter Revson drove for the Cougar factory team in the Trans Am series.

If you are patient then a Jaguar XKE Series 1 can be bought in that price range. A car that Enzo Ferrari called the “the most beautiful car in the world.”

1991 GMC Syclone. Only year they made them. Has been steadily appreciating. Still very sought after. All wheel drive. Turbocharged. Intercooled. Only 2995 made. Came in any color in you wanted in 1991 as long as it was black.
It took the Hellcat-powered Ram 1500 TRX to finally dethrone the Syclone as the world’s fastest production truck 30 years after the last Syclone was built. It was faster than two generations of Ford Lightnings, the 454 SS Silverado, a V10 viper powered Ram, and the Ford Raptor.

Classic items don’t hold their value. Their value comes from nostalgia but the people who are nostalgic about them are dying on a daily basis.
You saying an original ford T model in good condition would be nearly worthless? Everyone who would hold them as personally nostalgic is dead.

Barn Find: A lot of folks would normally get excited over a car that saw sales of maybe 74 copies. But this one is a Yugo, one of the most maligned automobiles of the 1980s. They were notorious for their poor build quality, and yet 140,000 of them were imported (when was the last time you saw one?). This example is the rare convertible model, only offered in 1990, and while it runs, it’s going to need a lot of work. Located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, this drop-top project is available here for $3,400 Story: When I was stationed in Jax I was crossing the Buckman bridge (I-295) and saw someone walking opposite direction. As I crested the rise halfway across lo and behold there was a Yugo burning up in all its glory. I think they sold new at $3,999
I’ve told this story before… but I know a guy that swears he jabbed a sharpened #2 pencil in the fender of a Yugo before. Says if you doubt him.. bring him a Yugo, a sharp pencil, and cash to bet.

Not a station wagon. But a neat car non the less.
