I love old cars. I've owned a couple '60s Mustang Convertibles, an Alfa Romeo Spider and currently have a couple '70s Mercedes. What these cars lack in modern conveniences (Bluetooth, GPS, etc.), they more than make up for in driving experience and fun.
So, inspired by binge-watching Wheeler Dealers and Barrett-Jackson car auctions and fueled by a case of Anchor Steam, my buddy and I had a lively debate the other night about the best "affordable" vintage cars we'd like to own. Of course, all car nuts would love to own a Ferrari 265, Mercedes 300SL gull wing or maybe an Aston Martin DB2, but very few of us have a means to invest seven figures (sometimes eight) into a car. Plus, I'd be terrified to ever drive a car that valuable...so why own it if you can't/won't drive it?
Here's your challenge. What are the top cars you'd love to own one day, either as a daily driver or weekend plaything? Caveats are that (1) it has to be 20+ years old and (2) can't cost more than $25k to acquire based on current market prices. Here's my (partial) list:
- Porsche 928S4 ('88-'91)
- Porsche 944 Turbo ('88-'91)
- Mercedes 450 SEL ('78-'79)
- BMW 635csi ('87-'88)
- BMW M3 E30 ('90-'91)
- BMW 840/850 ('89-'96)
- Jeep Grand Wagoneer ('88-'91)
- Datsun 240Z ('70-'73)
- Triumph TR6 ('69-'76)
- Ford Mustang 289 Convertible ('65-'66)
So monkeys, what would you fill your garage with?
