[70cuda88]

Well, I've already got my "affordable" classic. It's semi-rare these days, is very cool looking (IMO), and it definitely stands out. If those are your criteria and you're not concerned with fuel mileage, I recommend an American personal luxury coupe from the 1970's, something like a Thunderbird or Lincoln Continental. If you can find one, you could get a Chrysler Cordoba and brag about your rich Corinthian leather.

Alternatively, you could live up to your username and try to find a Plymouth Barracuda. I imagine some of the later (the last Barracudas were made in 1974) V-6 powered models might qualify as "affordable."

well, we have an old Barracuda in town, but i never likes the Barracuda's just the 'Cuda versions made in 1970 and 1971. Otherwise known for their 426 Hemi.

Audi Quattro.
If you can source one

An Alfa Romeo would fit the bill nicely.

i cant seem to get enough information on the Audi Quattro. Which one would be the best?

EDIT: A 1988 would be the most famous right?

Classic Cars:

Subaru GL (Leone) wagon

Mazda Protege


That is stretching things a lot too far

No way, you can get a GL for a couple hundred and put 5k into mods! :P You'd have the most fun car in the world and some money for beer for your trips.
