You get to pick 3 cars to own for the rest of your life. No budget.
I seem to be doing this already, as I own 3 cars, and none are newer than 2000
1999 Chevy Silverado; I just had the tranny rebuilt right at 300k. I also had the spider injectors replaced about that same time, otherwise it just seems to keep running. And if I do need to do something with it, parts are everywhere and cheap. And Mobil One Synthetic seems to have that engine purring.
I also have a couple Miatas, an NA (original, 1990), and an NB (2000). They're fun, and more importantly they're durable and reliable, and there's a big aftermarket community. About the only thing I've done with them is put in some MeisterR coilovers. For purposes of unlimited budget, I think I'd send the 2000 in to Flying Miata and get a V8 dropped into it.

Those 3 are ugly cars and not worth owning
With regards to the 250 that is an incandescently hot take. The 250 models particularly the GT short wheelbase and the GTO shown later ITT are two cars routinely in the discussion for the most beautiful (post-war) car designs of all time.
