If you could afford it...

Can I have a crappy-looking over-the-top race car? I'll vote for that.
 
Otherwise a driver quality 65 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe 1 of 6 {or a maybe a 66 GT40 a toss up there} & a driver quality 69 Hemi Daytona 4 speed {or a 68 Hemi RR 4 speed kind of a toss up there too}...
 
I guess I didn't ask quite the right question...

Let's say two $30k cars or a single $60k.

Good responses otherwise.
 
2 Driver cars. I have one on the road now and working slowly on the second one. Can't wait to drive them both. They are both 70 Super Bee's, plumb crazy 440 and 4 speed now driven and a red 383 auto. in the works. Can't worry about them getting dirty, just wash them and go.

Under that formula I'd buy 2 $30k drivers, because a $60k show car wouldn't be all that much better of a car IMHFO... But I do like to look at other peoples $$$, spent on show cars, it take all types... Everyone has their own taste & budget or what they actually like, to each their own, enjoy them either way... If I was to spend $60k on a single car, I'd want to be racing it, not showing it...
 
I would still have to take the two drivers, one nice $30K 66-67 Charger or B-body, the other a good used SRT8 300/Magnum/Charger
 
I will never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never... people say never say never... I'm saying NEVER... have another show car. Biggest waste of money ever... after strippers.

I would take my Pittsbird Road Runner and a 1976 Starskey & Hutch Gran Torino.
 
Two driver quality cars. If I had a show-quality car, it wouldn't stay show-quality around me for very long.
 
30k x2 can get me a twin turbo supra (with 10k to spare on go fast goodies) and a decent b-body...

60k can buy me a Acura NSX with 20k to spare on go fast goodies. HMMMMMM
 
I have 3 drivers and I try ti give them equal driving time for the variety. Thought there are times where I wish I had at least on top quality show car. but then that would be driven too so what I have now will do nicely!
 
I will take the 2 30K cars! One would be a 4 speed and one an automatic. One would be more original and more race and one would be more resto moded and creature featured and comfortable while still having performance.
