Best Vintage Sports Cars for the Money/Value

[JOE]

I was thinking at some point getting an older used vintage sports car, say 10 or more years old.



Any recommendations?



Here's some videos I saw on the topic:

...but keep in mind, I'm on a budget Waybulz...& that aint no fables, Waybulz.



Like...I don't wanna spend 100s of thousands of dollars, eh?



I was trying to keep it within a budget



If at all possible a driveable used vintage sports car for $10,000 or less.

...well then how about $20,000....Lokmeer?!



I just don't wanna spend too much on a car



If at all possible....$15,000 then?



A convertible if at all possible.

I looked it up and some of the older mustangs are somewhat reasonable.



Here in my town, some listings on Craigslist:

Keep in mind Canadian dollar is only .75 cents to the US dollar.



So a $13,000 car here would cost $10,000 US if you bought it in the States.



So Mustangs don't look bad.



I like the idea of buying a used Alfa Romeo



However, the cost and maintenance of owning them might be another story.

Hard to get parts for I suppose or mechanics around qualified to fix them.



I saw an old Mustang on the road the other day.



It was old, but it was sure powerful and fast.



It easily sped away from a much newer Ford I was driving that day.

A lotta new cars made these days are junk.



If a person's gonna spend $40,000 on a brand new car, why not just buy a decent used sports car for possibly half the price?



Get twice as much value and power for 1/2 (HALF) the price.



I mean, that's like an inverse relationship.



More for less.

Here's a listing where I live for an Alfa Romeo, Lokmeer:

....What do you think? What are the shortcomings of them?

Sheesh! $20K wont even buy a fukin decent MG midget these days. Maybe you could buy a busted ass old mustang with a V6. You'd be just as well off to buy an AMC Gremlin or a fukin Pinto.

...what could go wrong with these cars?



what are some of the danger signs I should ask or look for?



Keep in mind as I said before, I wouldn't be using this kind of car as a primary vehicle, just as a secondary weekend recreational car to take a spin around town once in a while.



I wouldn't be nor have any intention of using it all the time, since 'Classic' or 'Collector' plates have a limitation on use or number of days/times when they can be driven.



that's why the insurance rates are so low on those cars.
