An Opel GT just because you don't hardly see them around, they look like mini vettes, and they are way under $30k.

Re: Viper.... The only thing you'll get for under $30k is a Gen I. Now, if you have a jones for those... cool. I am a Viper NUT, but Gen 2 (96-02) is, for me, the only option. When the market crashed in 08, I did see a number of CLEAN cars go for 30 to 40. A handful were lower, but beat. So a Viper for 30k... meh. Also... if the gaskets are bad from not being driven like so many are, big expense.
As to what I'd spend up to $30k on? Austin Healey 3000 Mk3 - buy the bones, add LS6/T56, new rims/suspension and brakes, then have it painted. Probably wrap it for about $20k. http://media.motortopia.com/files/15...arshow_054.jpg 1950 Chevy Pickup - swap to custom frame/suspension, but add LS6/auto ----> 90s Acura NSX.... but only if I could also afford to add a supercharger. Pricing on the base cars varies a lot. Porsche Cayman - kinda dooshy, but fun Detomaso Pantera (most are priced higher, but sometimes they come along) |
Unmolested late 90's Supra! I'd also look into the new Camaro.
|
Porsche 911, preferably early 90's coupe.
|
Always liked the old British cars. Might go with a Triumph TR3 or Austin Healey 3000. Maybe a Lotus Super Seven. Kinda like to have my old Bugeye back also!
Not power houses but, fun to drive. Sonny |
I might get a pontiac G8 and mod the hell out of it.:cheers:
|
An old Ferrari 328 or Lotus Esprit!
A Porsche Boxster or Cayman I would not consider due to their "hidden engine" design. For me it would have to be a car where the hood can be opened to display an equally impressive looking engine. Porsches hide their engines away like they're the car's genitals or something. But they are nice vehicles with a lot of racing history, which I like. |
Corvette is the only Sportscar I would be interested in. Maybe one of those BMW boxsters wouldn't be bad. They sure do look nice.

Mustang is my choice over a camaro
|
BMW M3 or Porsche 911
|
Z4 M Coupe or Vert
03-04 Mustang Cobra low mileage, near stock EVO IX |
2000 Boxster S was what I traded for the C5...except for that, it's not a bad choice, and very nice ones are available for a lot less that $30K. Have yet to see a Cayman for less than $32 or so.
With a full $30K and a lot more free garage space than I currently have, I'd do a Factory Five Cobra replica. But then I'd need at least one more garage bay, plus a truck to haul pieces around to machine shops etc, plus a place to park the bones of the donor car, plus... |
Well if it has to be a two seater then a Saturn Sky or Pontiac Solstace with LS1 or LS6 swap. Like Hot Rod magazine did a few years back.
|
Hey Tusc, is that your '64 Galaxy? Full size old Fords don't get a lot of play but they are really good looking cars.
|
Infiniti G35 6MT Coupe, still wish I had mine!
|
Given the OP's "under $30K" parameter, I would go for a 90's NSX for sure.
