I'll start with mine.

Any of these would make me happy. Much more so than any Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, supercar etc.

1972 Corvette Stingray




1967 Mercury Cougar



1952 Jaguar XK120



All of them 35 to 45k

Rolling sculpture. If you had 45k or less to blow on an unpractical whim car(and I'm sure a lot of you do) for just the pure enjoyment of looking at it and driving it- what would it be?

This but in black. Almost pulled the trigger on one in Birmingham last year. Was in fantastic condition and sold for $26.5k I think.

for awhile you could pick up a delorean for around $25k and enough parts were available in the factory to keep it running for the next 500 years but no idea where that is now.

i wanted one just for nostalgia. i still love it when i see one in person.

#2 is definitely the magnum pi ferrari. insane that was only $30k when it was new.

I once restored a '68 Cougar. Love those cars. Made mine resemble a GTE. Of course it wasn't a GTE.

1978 Ford Bronco $30k
Would make the top yellow, giving it an LSU color theme. add a white/yellow/white stripe to it as well.
Or
do the opposite and have an all yellow one with the white top, and then a white/purple/white stripe. Probably like that one better as i don't plan on leaving the top on much anyway.


Similar to these but not quite these color patterns.

I see them from time to time. Usually pretty ragged out. I see a lot of the standard 4 door/ext cab mid-late 90’s GM trucks or SUVS though. Heck I saw two last night parked at the restaurant we ate at.

I always like the 1970's Cherokee.

But of course there are Viper SRTs being sold for <$50K. The Viper is cheaper than the Cherokee
